    I definitely liked this product a lot! The first thing I noticed was the lovely exotic scent - it smelled really nice and was a definite pick me up when I used it daily. Usually when I start using a new lotion or serum, I tend to break out. However, this product didn't create any breakouts. Another good thing was that it also didn't leave my skin oily or dry which is pretty rare when it comes to facial creams. I found it to be a great smoothing serum and effective moisturizer as well - my skin felt very smooth after the first few uses. I would defnitely recommend this for anyone with dry/oily skin types since it does a great job at balancing skin moisture.

    I like the way this product feels on the skin. It ceratainly makes it soft. I am fine with the smell too. I think many might not agree with me on the smell part.
    I use lot of organic n natural oils,so for me the smell was fine.
    Only thing is I think I might need to get used to this particular,coz I am sneezing when I apply it. It might be that I am allergic to 1 of the oils,or its too natural for me.
    I know that it happens to me whenever its made with natural oils.
    So it might be just me ,n not for all

    over all i like the consistency of the serum. I have a combi skin,and I did not break out etc. So would work fine for oily skin too.

    As far as anti wrinkle propert,I need to use it for few more days to comment on that.

    I received this product as part of the Product Review Club.

    From the 5 days I have been using it, these are my thoughts;

    -serum is very light and fluid; somewhat greasy texture
    -initially concerned about the greasiness, but the serum absorbed into my skin quickly and did not leave any residue
    -left skin soft and smooth
    -lovely, light, citrus fragrance
    -great easy-to-dispense pump
    -reasonable price at ~$24

    I would need to test this product longer to note any changes to my skin as a result of using it, but I'm enjoying it so far and will continue to use it!

    I like this serum a lot! It's super lightweight and it absorbed quickly, without leaving any sticky or greasy residue behind. I don't have any lines on my face, so I can't speak for that, but I did notice that my complexion was more luminous and I didn't have any breakouts, which sometimes happens when I try a new product. I used it both in the morning and at night, but I liked using it in the morning better because it has a really nice citrus smell which helped to wake me up. My skin is very soft thanks to this serum.

    I found the texture of the serum to be very smooth and light. My skin easily absorbed the serum upon application and didn't feel sticky or greasy as other serums usually do. I did receive the product late, but started using it immediately and I feel as if some of the lines on my face (especially around my smile) have softened since I started using the product. The scent is very citrus and fruity.

    I have been using this since I received it. This took the place of what I used to use (when hope is not enough).
    My skin is brighter, and looks healthier. Also my breakouts were minimal. Not sure if it has anything to do with this serum or not.
    I would recommend it, for suere.

    Great product! Nutriganics Serum is designed to improve the effects of your normal moisturiser and cleanser. It is very light and absorbs into the skin easily.The scent is very citrus and fruity making it a delight to apply.

    I often buy products at the body shop but I never really went as far to try their face products. When the opportunity to try one came along due to being a member of the very great and generous Chick Advisor site(Yes the one you're on now). I quickly filled out the applicant survey and was delighted to find shortly after that I got picked!

    So heres my thoughts and experiences with the Nutriganic smoothing serum by Body Shop.

    I have been using it for around 2weeks to get a good idea of how it reacts and improves my skin.
    I applied the serum immediately after my daily shower and put on my own moisturizer over it as directed(I didn't have the Nutriganic moisturizer with the review). I found the serum to have a nice milky like texture that absorbed very rapidly. Which I love because I want my face routine to be quick during the work week. A very little of the serum goes a long way but move it around quickly as the skin just seems to drink it up.

    Even after applying my make up I noticed my skin looked different and not because I have applied make up! It had this sort of glow it hasn't had in years. It looked hydrated and the tone was more even. (hello I'm looking 20 again!)This was just on the first day! So I was way more motivated to keep using the product to see the long term effects.

    So after repeating the daily applications of the serum and my own moisturizer I have noticed the fine lines I have on my forehead to reduce in depth and appearance. They are not GONE but they are definitely far less noticeable and I swear they are vanishing every day that passes. I really wish I could of had experienced the full line since the serum is only part of the Nutriganics system. I'll definitely look into them when I go to the body shop.

    I will definitely continue using this product daily as it seems to be doing something right and its not an expensive creme/serum that promises you a face lift in a bottle. Its just a sweet community trade organic serum that works the wonders of nature. I like knowing that I'm not rubbing some man made ingredient into my skin. That gives me the Hebe jeebies! This stuff just makes me feel all down to earth.

    So if you enjoyed my review I take it you're reading this far and going okay great it works for her but will it work on me? Well we aren't sisters or anything but I can tell you this. It will definitely keep your skin hydrated. I hope that it will work its wonders on your skin like it has mine. So yes I would definitely recommend it to YOU and yes YOU shaking your head. Also if you have noticed fine lines appearing I would highly suggest you try this especially since it works to diminish the fine lines.

    I was excited when i recieved this product in the mail...when i open the package i seen it was in a cute box and that it had a nice pump to depense the product.
    The smell is refreshing and reminds me of a body shop smell...all organic like and well can't put my finger on it but i love the smell it gives. The consistency of the product was watery like and light which i loved it mositurized and desolved into my skin , and never made me feel like i was wearing a mask...i noticed after a couple of days of using this product that i had a nice overall glow...I have a combination skin and it not one made my face oilier or plugged my pores infact it seemed to keep it at bay.
    I have to say that my face feels smoother and fresh looking...normally my face would feel rough from failed facial lotions, however it complimented my facial lotion...as it says to use before you use your normal facial lotion... One thing i didn't like it that the instructions are on the box and not on the bottle and most people throw the box away without reading it.
    Would i buy it again....you betcha i would it works for me and and i like that its made from natural organic materials.

    I got this product to try from the review club. I love the fact that is product is organic. I have been using it once a day for almost two weeks and I do notice a change in my skin. It does seem smoother but I can't say that it did anything for the fine lines near my eyes. Time will tell! The serum is very creamy and it is not greasy at all. I was surprised how fast it absorbed into my skin. It is very light although a did get a couple breakouts the first time I used it. As far as the smell you will either love it or hate it. It is very earthy and I do not mind it. I would recommend this product to anyone who likes earth friendly organic products.
