    I received this through the Product Review Club (thank you!). When I read that it contained Babassu oil, I was hesitant to try it at first because I am prone to breakouts (any products that contain "oil" make me leery to use on my face!). Well, I gave it a try anyway and was pleasantly surprised – it didn’t flare up my skin! The serum is lightweight and non-greasy, it also absorbs into the skin very nicely. I did apply my moisturizer over the serum at first, but soon discovered it wasn’t really necessary to use both as the serum was enough. In the winter months however, it may be a different story as my skin is usually drier. The serum was also a great base for my foundation, as it wore well throughout the day and didn’t make my skin greasy. Though I’ve only been using this for a couple of weeks, my skin definitely feels softer and appears to be smoother already. I would recommend this product for anyone wanting to fight the first signs of aging and/or to use alone as a lighter moisturizer during the warmer months.

    As a member of the Product Review Club, I received a full-sized (1.0 US FL OZ) sample of Nutriganics Smoothing Serum in exchange for my honest review.

    I have been using this product daily (morning and evening) for a little over two weeks.

    Initially, I found the scent to be a bit off-putting and felt that there was too much thyme aroma. After application, the scent quickly dissipates and was something that I became used to (and even grew fond of) within a few uses.
    I found this product to be a bit runny compared to what I expect from a serum, but it is lightweight & non-greasy, spreads easily, and absorbs quickly into my skin - leaving it feeling dewy.
    The directions suggest that this serum be applied before moisturizing. After just four days of use, I no longer felt the need to apply a separate moisturizer, since the serum had noticeably increased the level of moisture in my skin.
    I love that this product is organic with 99% of its ingredients from natural origin. I will definitely recommend it to others, since It has provided me with what I feel is softer and more resilient facial skin.

    I got this product to test out for 2 weeks. After just one week of using it morning and night, I noticed a difference in my skin. It felt softer and smoother. I have normal/oily skin and at first it felt too greasy but once my skin got used to it my face didnt feel oily anymore. I love the texture. It's not heacy like some serums can be, so layering it with my day or night moisturizers worked well. The only con for me was the scent. It had this weird chemical scent I couldnt stand at first. Now I've gotten used to it so I dont notice it as much. Smal price to pay for a great product.

    It's definitely worth the price. You get results without having to pay department store prices!

    I love the Body Shop’s Tea Tree Oil skincare line and is my HG facial wash for hot and sticky summer days, so I was excited to try the Body Shop’s Nutriganics Smoothing Serum which is certified to have over 95% natural and organic ingredients. The Smoothing Serum packaging is in pump form you don’t waste too much of the product during application. The smell of the serum was amazing! It reminded me of another pricier product from the Dermalogica brand I sometimes use, but the Smoothing Serum is more affordable. The serum itself was easy to apply and spread out nicely on my skin, it only stayed tacky for about a minute and then I could apply my daytime/nighttime moisturizer over top of it.

    I used the Serum faithfully 2x a day for two weeks and my skin felt smoother, the tone more even and more supple to the touch. I plan on using this product again and going in to the Body Shop to check out their full Nutriganics product line.

    I like the smell and feel of the serum, its not greasy and smells like the spa. But I haven't seen any visible signs of skin improvment. It just adds another step to my daily/nightly fash washing routine. If this product could be incorporated into a 2 in 1 with a facial moisterizer I would be more interested in using it.

    I love how evenly this light weight product goes on the skin. It has a nice aromatherapy like scent to it. My skin feels revitalized and super soft. It evened out my skin and gave it a healthy glow. I like how this product is organic, as I prefer products that are not loaded with stuff that is not natural. I would definitely add this product to my skin care regime.

    I rarely use Body Shop products but was given this item to try as part of the Product Review Club. I was impressed as the results were better than I expected. I liked the fact that the product is organic having recently been interested in more and more eco-friendly products. Also, the texture was light, didn't feel gunky on my face, and I liked the light fragrance. Upon application, the serum instantly feels like it is tightening the skin, which I liked. I typically applied the serum, followed by my regular moisturizer and my skin felt smooth all day long. I would definitely recommend this product, particularly for those who are starting to see the first signs of wrinkles appear.

    I have been using this each morning after cleansing my face. It goes on lightly and immediatly is absorbed into my skin leaving behind dryness and tiny fine lines. It is a fabulous base for my foundation and all my make up goes on easier and looks flawless. I love this product!

    the smell was a little different when i tried it. i had to get use to the smell, but now i like it a lot. the texture is great and it goes on very smooth. in the beginning it felt a little sticky, but after i used a few times it did not feel sticky anymore (maybe it was a one time thing). the cost is ok, but i think there are better products out there that do a better job. it works ok, but i do not see any difference after using the product for 2 weeks and feel there should be some marked difference in my skin after a couple of weeks. i do not think this would become a regular in my facial routine and i would go try other products because i think there are other products out there that will do a better job for around the same price.

    I love the fresh lemony scent and how smooth it feels after applying. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and my skin does feel softer and more refreshed.

    I def recommend it.
