Review: The Body Shop Vitamin C Cleansing Face Polish

by Tine on August 15, 2007

I chanced upon The Body Shop’s Vitamin C Cleansing Face Polish from Beetrice. I thought I’d give it a go since it received such rave reviews ;)  

TBS VitC Cleansing Face Polish

Description:

A daily face wash with orange jojoba micro-beads to gently exfoliate and reveal smoother skin. The antioxidant vitamin C protects skin and revitalizes.

According to CareFair.com, Vitamin C products for skin care can provide greater protection against harmful UV rays, increase the production of collagen and decrease the look of fine lines and pigmentation that are the result of aging. I’m not too sure about how true that is; I know that Vitamin E’s good for the skin, but Vitamin C? Hmm, I reckon this bears further investigation. But back to the review for now.

There were two things I liked about this facial wash. First of all, I love the tiny beads. They’re very small, and not at all hard on the skin. It exfoliated my skin without my face feeling like a washboard. It’s gentle enough to be used daily, compared to the stronger scrubs which I leave for the weekends. It doesn’t leave my skin dry and tight after wash.

The other thing I like about this cleanser is, and this is a big win for me, the scent. I LOVE the orangey fragrance. It’s so refreshing in the mornings and evenings, and I always have a craving for an orange after every shower :p

The cleansing gel is quite thick when you squeeze it out of the tube. It would be best to just squeeze a pea-sized amount out, and lather it on your face. Too much would be a waste.

The Body Shop Vitamin C Cleansing Face Polish retails at RM50 at all Body Shop outlets.

What I like about it: Gentle exfoliator (can be used daily), lovely orangey scent.

What I did not like about it: Nothing really. I’m definitely getting this again once I’ve run out.
