Attention Required!

A while ago, I was offered the opportunity lớn try the newly available Vitamin CGlow Boosting Moisturiser by The toàn thân Shop. This is part of what seems to be a revamped vi-ta-min C range from the brand. I used khổng lồ be quite a fan of the vitamin C Skinboost Serum, although I’m not sure if it’s still available now. So, not having used much from TBS for a while, I agreed to give it a try.

Part of the reason as well, was due to the clever description on the tub which proclaims it to lớn be for “Dull, tired, grumpy skin” Grumpy skin! Yes, I have that from time to lớn time LOL!

I dug into this after running out of my regular day moisturiser (which I happen to love btw) và while I was going through a period of dull skin, no thanks lớn stress and poor sleeping habits. I was hoping that the light gel texture would help my dull, tired and yes, very grumpy skin. The question of course is, did it?

Well, I’m sad to report that it didn’t.

The Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser is a lightweight, gel-textured, water-based moisturiser that is quite perfect for our warm, humid weather. This is especially so if you have oilier skin & aren’t keen on using a moisturiser.

The key focus is to hydrate your skin & give it a glow, thanks khổng lồ the vitamin C extract of Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate which is said to be a more stable version of vi-ta-min C, to lớn protect your skin by being an antioxidant, & to give it a glow, by brightening your skin.

It is also coloured orange, and has the scent of oranges; something that seems to lớn plague anything infused with vi-ta-min C. I wish for once that it wasn’t so because the synthetic scent of oranges/citrus can be quite off putting. I found it a bit strong in this moisturiser, và also a bit sweet. But I will not deny that it is a refreshing boost in the morning, so if you lượt thích that, then its fine.

The packaging is far more luxurious than I remember body toàn thân Shop products being packaged in. The heavy, almost glass-like tub it comes in has a nice heft and solid built, và it feels (and looks) good.

But that’s where it sort of ends for me.

Unfortunately, I found that the TBS vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser broke me out. It wasn’t anything too serious, but I now know my skin enough lớn know when a sản phẩm is giving me bumps under the skin; và this one did.

I also find the gel texture a little heavy, almost silicone in feeling (although I don’t seem lớn detect silicones in the ingredient list), which I’m not much of a tín đồ of. I like gel-textured moisturisers in the day, especially when the days are long and hot like they are now, but I don’t like that silky-touch feeling khổng lồ the skin.

So, unfortunately for me, my grumpy skin only got grumpier
