The Body Shop Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet

I bought some of this before TBS launched the Union Jack packaging.

I don't use it a lot as, while it's great in summer, I don't like it for winter - I don't find it gives my skin enough nourishment, and tends to make my skin feel tight.

A totally useless product from TBS that does absolutely nothing for the skin- no hydration properties or any visible improvement to the skin. The "24h hydration" claim is not true. This product was a huge disappointment.

I actually enjoy the sweet scent, had to try this before giving it to my mom :-) it is super moisturising, and very light. My mom really does enjoy this product, as she has a combination skin type, and this is perfect for her. Another gift idea to those special moms!

A delicately scented light and fresh feeling ice cream coloured moisturiser that is more suitable for normal to combination skin types.its a bit too light for my thirsty skin but all in all a pleasure to look at and use.

When they called this product a sorbet, they weren't lying. It has an ultra-light, fluffy texture, quite unlike any other face creams that I have tried. Still, it contains hard-working ingredients: moisturising Shea butter and antioxidant-rich wheatgerm oil.

It feels light and refreshing on the skin, a great moisturiser for daytime wear with an SPF or for night-time hydration. I also love the cute Union Jack packaging that they have given the product for Mother's Day.

The downsides to the product are the fragrance and the jar packaging. It is quite heavily fragranced, and very sweetly so. The scent won't appeal to everyone and doesn't do much for me. The jar packaging makes it quite unhygienic as a face product, so it would be best to use with a spatula. All in all, a good basic moisturiser for someone who doesn't have particularly dry skin.
