Advantages: Price

Disadvantages: Did absorb easily into my skin

The standard Vitamin E cream from the Body Shop which is suitable for most skin types especially normal to dry skin is really popular and i have used it on and off for years. Vitamin E is an antioxidant so helps protect skin from toxins that we encounter on a daily basis. I thought i would try out this illuminating moisture cream when they had a 3 for 2 on skincare instore as i think it's usually about £8 which is still quite reasonable. The cream comes in a 50ml pink pot and is really easy to apply. One pot lasts around two months based on using it every morning. Although it does give a healthy glow it made me feel almost as if i had a layer of something coating my skin and it irritated me - i felt like i wanted to give my face a wash all day and i actually felt it made my skin look a bit greasy rather than giving a healthy glow. I'm sure this product is great for some people but i will stick with the regular Vitamin E cream which i think is absolutely fab!

Summary: I prefer the regular Vitamin E cream from the Body Shop
