The Body Shop Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream…
I got a 20ml tub of The Body Shop Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream with the set I bought during the sales, and have been using it for the past couple of weeks. It was meant to be a facial moisturizer, but it ended up having a different use instead.

The Verdict:
I’ve always liked the Vitamin E range from The Body Shop (the Vitamin E lip care with SPF15 is a firm favourite of mine) but I must say I had my reservations about such a rich moisturiser for my face. The cream in the pot is extremely thick – just for fun, I tipped it upside down and the cream in the pot did not budge at all!
When I started using this, there were some dry patches near my jawline (no idea why this happens sometimes) so I decided to try the cream to address the problem.

Well, the cream definitely fixed the dry patches – in fact, just two applications of the cream did the trick. However, it turned out to be way too rich for my oily/combination skin to the point that I started getting milia (oil seeds)...not good. However, I realised a much better use for the remainder of the cream – as a travel moisturiser...for my hands!
As a moisturiser for my hands and cuticles, this is GREAT! Non-greasy, fast-absorbing and long-lasting moisture for my fingers – me likey! The cream is exactly what my dry hands needed. Plus, since it’s so thick in the pot, spillage in my bag is almost impossible. Price-wise, I’m not too sure how much this costs since it usually comes in a 50ml tub instead of the 20ml tub I got...can anyone help me out here?
The Body Shop Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream comes in a 50ml tub and is available at all Body Shop outlets.
Ratings: 3 / 5 (as a face cream) 4 / 5 (as a hand moisturiser!)
Value: $$
