Innovation in skincare just keeps improving to bring highly concentrated and sharp benefits to the shopping shelf, and The Body Shop’s Vitamin C skincare range is one to keep an eye out for. Vitamin C is one of the few skin ingredients that has been clinically proven to transform skin. Consistent use of the right product, which will vary depending on your skin type, can leave you with a more even skin tone, bouncier skin and glowing appearance.
The Body Shop’s Vitamin C range is a Vegan Society Certified expert collection designed to target dull, uneven skin texture and tone. Formulated with high-quality natural ingredients, the range of serums, moisturizers and beauty masks can cleanse, hydrate, resurface, exfoliate, and boost the skin’s radiance while reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation. And what’s more, the brand is famous for their conscious packaging.
Here are five of our favourite picks:
Vitamin C Glow Revealing Serum
If you’re new to vitamin C as part of your skincare regimen, experts recommend using a serum underneath your moisturiser to gradually strengthen and revive dull-looking skin.
The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Serum can increase your skin radiance significantly. The 30ml bottle comes packed with powerful ingredients such as vitamin C and bakuchiol, which is a natural antioxidant and a plant-based alternative to retinol, that helps to improve skin texture.
