Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet

I have sensitive skin, so I try and avoid any fancy shmansy face creams, as a few months ago I had a severe allergic reaction to a Nivea night cream to the point where my eyelids swelled and I couldn't open my eyes well! But when I walked past my local Body Shop I saw this promoted in the window.

When I initially tried it I didn't like the formula as it is very "fluffy" I feel, unlike any other face creams I have ever come across, but when I rubbed it into my hand I fell in love. It is a "cooling facial moisturiser" which I feel is ideal for this weather- so I caved.


After a week of using this moisturiser I have fallen in love with it. The light formula sinks into the skin so quickly which is ideal when you're applying makeup straight after. The cooling properties of the product makes it a pleasure to apply, as I always feel too warm when I wake up- especially in the summer months! 

The packaging is so high end and chic too. A glass pot always makes me feel like I'm using a high end cream anyway, and the smell is just how I'd imagine a spa to smell- light and refreshing!

The only downside to this product is there is no SPF, which means (unless used with another product) it provides no protection from UV, so I feel if used on its own it is better for the night time. Also, there isn't much product in the pot, but a little goes a long way so it's not that bad after all!
