Serums seem to mostly come at break-the-bank prices. But the new Vitamin E Moisture Serum and Aloe Protective Serum from The Body Shop price-check in at only $27.95 each. The hydrating mix features tara bush seed extract, from a plant native to Peru that’s able to withstand extremely drying conditions, and works by delivering moisture-retaining molecules deep into the dermis. And then, of course, there’s also the vitamin E, an antioxidant that not only helps protect skin from the days pollutants, but also enhances elasticity. As for the aloe-based serum - as well as the naturally soothing aloe vera, it stars prebiotic technology, which promotes the growth of good bacteria in order to strengthen skin to better resist irritants. Both serums are gorgeously cooling and lightweight on the skin.
Two more impressively high-tech products from the nature-loving company: Vitamin C Micro Refiner ($29.95) and Vitamin C Re-texturising Peel ($30.95). Both give gorgeous skin-smoothing results; the Micro Refiner exfoliates via fine silica crystals, while the salicylic acid-laced peel is a gel that works its exfoliating powers while it dries on the skin, before being easily peeled away. Both products also have a beautifully brightening effect. All available from The Body Shop
