Review: The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream

Hi! *waves* it's a queue post actually ;) just in case i don't have time to write a review in this coming weeks ;) so fortunately this is a review post :D

We all know that the Vitamin E range is kinda famous at The Body Shop, so i'm gonna review this vitamin E moisture cream. Although my skin is oily combination, it still gets flaky during cold weather so i need ultra hydration for my skin plus luckily i got this cream for free ;)

What they claim: Our bestselling daily moisturiser hydrates skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

• Hydrates and protects
• Light and easily absorbed
• Leaves skin soft and healthy-looking

Ingredients: Aqua, Isopropyl Palmitate, Sorbitol, Lanolin, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Esters, Steareth-2, PEG-100 Stearate, Ceresin, Triethanolamine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Steareth-20, Carbomer, Methylparaben, Parfum, Benzyl Benzoate, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Hydroxycitronellal, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, Limonene, Geraniol, Linalool, Citronellol, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, CI 14700.

It's a cream with medium consistency

on my hand

It comes with a tub, so i need to be careful with my fingers to keep it clean. It doesn't have SPF in it but who cares, i don't really work outside. I mostly study inside rooms with air conditioner so this is a must wear for me especially during cold weather.

It smells just like any other vitamin E range, and it moisturizes my oily skin enough for a day. I only need to apply a little for each application and the dry patches all disappear and i don't feel any oily feeling on my face :D
I got it in mini size (15 ml) but it looks like it might last forever :o

Conclusion:

Pros:

-it hydrates my skin

-a little goes a long way

-doesn't break me out
-absorbs quite well

Cons:
-comes in a tub
-parabens!~ >.<

I like it, i really like it, but the parabens in it just turn me off... i think i need to try other moisturizer after i finish this one.

Review: The Body Shop Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash

What it says: Creamy skin-caring daily cleansing with built-in antioxidant protection. Rinses away make-up and impurities. All skin types.

Ingredients: Aqua, Glycine Soja, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Coco-Glucoside, Triticum vulgare, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Acrylates/Steareth-20 Methacrylate Copolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate, Parfum, Benzyl Benzoate, Hydroxycitronellal, Disodium EDTA, Limonene, Geraniol, Tocopherol, Linalool, Citronellol, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Cl 17200, Cl 14700.

I got it during buy 3 get 1 free promotion, it's free since it was the cheapest price among the products i bought ;) It comes with a tube and flip top normally The Body Shop facial wash product comes with. It is a matte liquid and it smells weird but soft.

I have normal to oily skin but it turns into dry skin in cold weather. My skin gets all dry and rough and flaky and every problems that occur to dry skin, especially my cheek.

The first time i tried this it feels really slick and greasy but after i wash it off it feels good. It cleans my face while moisturizing my skin without looking oily and greasy. There's nothing on my face but my face just feels smooth and plump, and all the dry patch is all gone.

But it doesn't work when i use it during hot weather. My skin produces too much oil during hot weather and i need something more than this. Something with oil control that prevents excess oil on my face, maybe.

Conclusion

Pros:

-It does cleans and moisturizes my face

-it's free (haha XD)

Cons:

-Not for oily skin

Repurchase? Yes <3
