I know! You've all heard the rave reviews that came with the launch of this newest Body Shop wonder, no doubt. I picked it up way back in February, and I haven't regretted it for a moment. You can find it on the Body Shop website here, but if you've managed to hear nothing about this, it's a Vitamin E serum-in-oil that's supposed to leave your skin looking refreshed, rested and feeling softer.
I wasn't originally going to pick this up, but do my standard jumping onto the bandwagon a safe 6 months down the line when everyone's assured me it's become a staple in their skincare. But I went shopping on my birthday, and it was part of a Vitamin E skincare offer that my mum wanted. Everything else were bits that she wanted, and this was basically thrown in for free so she gave it to me!
I love, love, love the whole of the vitamin C range. It's a staple in my mums skincare so it was some of the first things I used properly, and for me it's a range of products I can always go back to when my skin is feeling under the weather.
This bad boy is no exception; it's not half as oily as I expected, and sinks into your skin an absolute dream without leaving you feeling like you have to wait hours before touching your face again. When I woke up in the morning and carefully inspected my face in the mirror, it didn't feel oily or greasy in the slightest, but instead quite dewey and refreshed. I've noticed that the longer I've been using this, the longer my face stays feeling softer and generally nicer.
The only con I would possibly say is that I've noticed the skin around my nose, which can be super sensitive and the best judge of what a product is doing to my skin, has been feeling a little dry, which only becomes more noticeable once I've put on make up. I don't think it's entirely this serum (looking at you winter winds and runny flu-y nose), but all the same I don't think it gave my slightly ill skin the moisture it needed.
Apart from that, I've been absolutely loving this and using is most nights!
Have any of you tried this?

I've been wanting to try this for ages now! I'm also one of those people that jumps on the bandwagon 6 months later. Maybe I'll just have to go for it!
