Hello, gorgeousness! I have been a fan of The Body Shop for years. Their vanilla eau de toilette is undoubtedly a major favorite of mine. That's honestly the very thing I would grab from their store every single time. And I thought I would expand my The Body Shop collection. I am so happy I did that and this time around I am trying their Vitamin E skincare line!
Before anything, it would be fitting if I share what it claims to do, yea? The range is said to protect our skin against pollution, cigarette smoke, and UVA/UVB rays. The whole range is formulated with vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and wheat germ oil. It is also made for all skin types.
I want to give this skincare range a try because I honestly think it would be a lifesaver for the rough journey of my skin. My skin had been so dull and a lot of my skin concern keeps coming back to haunt me. So I think this vitamin E range would fill in the blank and be great for my skin (which it does!). At this time, I only bought the essentials - facial wash, toner, and moisturizer. Why? I don't feel the need to slap too much product on my face anymore. Got the essentials and I am good to go.
I have been sticking to a pretty simple and solid regimen where I start with The Body Shop Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash. I have been using this face wash for a month or so now (the same goes with the other 2 products) and on a regular basis in rotation with my CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser. The first impression when I squeezed the tube was the texture. It looks like the thick, sticky lotion that you don't like. I was taken back a little when I first applied and used it on my face, it was so light, creamy, and non-irritating!
After having been experimenting with it, I can say that it doesn't do any of the tightness and dryness feeling after washing my face and no breakouts! So I kinda like it now. This is a cream-based facial wash and I personally think if you have dry skin, you will love this. My skin is on the oilier side but I see no problem with me liking this facial wash. I guess my skin would appreciate some gentler options these days.
Next up is The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner. This is my holy grail. I cannot go a day without this toner. After I cleanse my face, I will apply this toner and it makes my skin so supple and hydrated. The consistency is not too thick, it's really soothing, hydrating and it has a pleasant scent which I find really comforting. It's not sticky or tacky and it doesn't contain alcohol. I already have a backup of this baby. I love love love it!
Up next in my skincare routine is applying acne treatment gel and then I will go with The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream. Now, as I was saying, my skin is really terrified with cream-based products. My skin will get irritated and itchy. I just know this moisturizer is not for me but not until I put it on my face that one night and I wake up with glowing and healthy-looking skin. So that's the secret. My skin can actually cope with cream-based products but only if I use them at night.
Cream products are typically heavy in consistency but this one is not. Actually, the whole product in the range is not heavy at all. I guess that explains why my skin loves this vitamin E range. The moisturizer is quite tacky even after hours of application. It's also quite runny, meaning it will get messy inside there so be mindful when you place it.
Would I recommend this skincare range? Yes, if you are okay with spending that much money every single time. Also, this can be good for all skin types and I can see a lot of combination skin would love this range.
Would I repurchase? Absolutely! But not the moisture cream though because The Body Shop came out with a new gel moisturizer that suits normal to combination skin. I kinda wanna try that one next time.

All in all, this is definitely a hit for me. I am beyond happy I tried this range. My skin has been really well behaved and respects me more because I spent a lot of money on her alone. LOL. All jokes aside, my skin loves this vitamin E skincare range from The Body Shop. It's gentle on the face, so soothing, hydrating, and moisturizing. If that's what you are looking for, then look no further!
