    I love Body Shop products, so was excited to get to try something new from them from the product review club. I like the product, it's easy to use, love the pump bottle, that puts out just enough, so no wasting it. I'm not thrilled with the scent, but it goes underneath your moisturiser, so I don't notice it once I've put that on. It does a great job of keeping my skin soft (more than my normal moisturiser), and softening the lines around my eyes, and at the sides of my mouth (all smile lines of course!).

    I'd recommend it, as it does a good job, and doesn't break the bank.

    I received this product as a part of the Product Review Club......I have been using this regularly since I received it. I believe that my facial lines seem to be just slighly diminished and my skin tone, I would have to say seems abit more "supple" I really like the fresh scent of the product.....and alittle product seems to go along way......Wish I had the other products to try as well to see if using the complete line would make more of a difference. My only gripe is: the instructions on the box itself need to be clearer. The Body shop website had great tips on using the product, tips which would be extremely helpful had they been on the box itself. Would I recommend it....definately........Look forward to seeing what happens with continual use over the next few months :)

    I received my first product to review since joining the product review club. I was pleased to receive a smoothing serum because it's important for me to take good care of my skin. I am in my late 20's and haven't noticed any visible lines or wrinkles yet but I am all about prevention. I love that this product is organic and it makes me feel better to know I am using more natural ingredients. I noticed a difference after only a couple of days. My skin feels softer. The serum is lightweight and absorbs well into my skin. It doesn't make my skin feel oily at all. It has a fresh scent such a lemongrass hint. I like this product and I would recommend it.

    I received the Nutriganics Smoothing Serum to review from The Body Shop.

    To be honest, it took me a while to decide on it. For a start, I didn't notice marked results for some time, but that was because I had been using another anti-aging serum and I wonder if there was not much more improvement that could be made.

    However, I did start to notice softening of fine lines after several weeks and my skin adjusted quite quickly to the formula (I usually have problems when switching). What I loved best about this serum was the light scent, the feeling of delicate moisturization and overall smoother texture to my skin as a result of using this product.

    This serum is not necessarily meant to be used alone, but as a step in between washing and applying your daily moisturizer. However, I agree that if you do not normally need a heavier moisturizer, this product may well do the job for you. It doesn't contain spf, so you should be careful to use a facial sunscreen on top.

    I love Body Shop's commitment to eco and social issues and am excited about the whole Nutriganics line.

    I wanted to respond to the ladies who said there is little to no info on the bottle packaging for how to use this product. On my bottle, the sticker has a peel-up corner that opens into a mini booklet with full instructions on how to use this serum. HTH!

    The first thing I noticed is its packaging. It is well designed (the pump is really of a fairly high quality in my opinion).

    The second, is the wonderful SMELL. It smells like roses to me, and I am huge fan of the Korres Wild Rose line, so this is right up in my alley.

    They call it a smoothing serum that will moisturize and restore your skin's suppleness.

    Honestly, it's just like a moisturizer to me. But a bit more liquidy. I half expected it to be a bit thicker, but I am happy it wasn't because a little goes a long way.

    One full pump of the product is a small dollop (smaller than the radius of a dime), but is sufficient to cover your whole face if you dab dots on your forehead & cheeks.

    The smell isn't just roses, but it's what I smell the strongest..then it turns into a kind of smoky, sandalwood and orange essence hint. It's something you'd smell if you were in Morocco or Egypt. It makes me think of deserts, spices and fragrant rose & orange water.

    99% of the ingredients are "natural" (not that it really matters, because some man-made ingredients can be better than the natural stuff)... and 34% of it is organic (again, it may not matter as much depending on what ingredients you're talking about).

    It is eco-certified and made in France.

    My only concern would be that there are a LOT of ingredients in here. Like, a crazy amount.

    The main ingredients are water and glycerin -- both being VERY good for your skin in terms of drawing in moisture from the air to keep your skin hydrated.

    Next is olive fruit oil, jojoba oil -- both good and close to our natural skin's oils, which means it will be less acne-causing.

    Then a whole bunch of preservative ingredients (I'm guessing) finishing off with fragrances of Mandarin Orange, Fennel, Vanilla and Rose.

    I like smoothing it on my hands, because it doesn't over moisturize, and if I accidentally touch my face with my hand, it won't transfer heavy moisturizers onto my face & cause acne.

    I've only used it for a couple of days, but so far, it's almost like a light serum to infuse into your skin, rather than being something that will really replace your night or day moisturizer.

    I'd use this at night, in the summer, when you don't need as heavy of a moisturizer as let's say in the winter.

    The lotion absorbs nicely, and doesn't seem to leave a huge amount of residue, but I do feel something there (although my face doesn't feel weighed down).
