The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream

The Body Shop has always been one of my go-to skincare brands as they seem to have a range of products that are of good quality. I also subscribe to their philosophy of using natural ingredients and being cruelty-free and fair trade.

I have taken a break from using acids in the past month to give my skin a break from all the exfoliation. I have also been transitioning to using more hydrating products (i.e. creams) as the weather becomes less warm.

This cream comes in a simple plastic tub with a black twist up closure. My concern with the packaging is that it doesn't have any safety seal. This is true for most of The Body Shop's products as they limit the use of packaging so that there is less waste. I guess it is up to the consumer to weight the pros and cons of this. 

Upon opening, I can immediately smell a light powdery scent. Personally, the smell is not overpowering for me so I didn't mind it. The fragrance lingers for awhile on the skin so those who are very sensitive to smells may not like this.

The cream has a light, almost gel-like and watery texture. It is readily absorbed and has a somewhat cooling effect upon contact on the skin. It is hydrating and moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth after each use. The lightweight formula does not feel greasy. 

What I really like with this cream is that it never feels sticky even on hot, humid days. I feel that the product really sinks into the skin and is absorbed well. It provides skin-deep moisture. Because this does not have a greasy feel, I also like to use this on my hands whenever it feels really dry from all the frequent hand washing.

With this cream, my oily-combination skin stays moisturized for up to eight hours. I have also observed improvements on the texture and complexion of my skin after two weeks use. I wake up looking fresh and bright in the morning after applying this cream the night before.
