    The first thing that I noticed was the fact that it is an organic product that is reusable. It is a small product that really lives up to its claim. I started using the product about two weeks ago, and was a little skeptica. It claims to soften, rejuvenate, improve skin suppleness with organic ingredients such as babbassu oil. I don't know much about the babassu oil, but I do know that it has noticeable effects on my skin. My face seems more youthful, and the lines are less noticeable. My face is dewey fresh, almost like it was when I was in my teens and did not care about the signs of aging. I have received so many positive compliments on my improved face. Everything from, did you get a face lift to did you go on vacation? I won't tell if you won't tell. But from the first time that I just applied a dot to my fingertips and applied it to my face, I knew that it was magic. It was not oily, it was creamy. When I applied it to my face, it did not feel tacky or sticky. It felt light and dewey. When it was applied, I did not look like I had been in an oil slick. It looked like I had applied one of the greatest facial moisturizers, that just improved the quality of my facial skin gradually over a short period of time. If my face looks like this good today, I wonder what it will look like in another couple of weeks. This is a genie in a bottle, and I am not about to divulge this secret potion to friends. Shhhhh! No one needs to know our secret.

    What a lucky chick I am!!! Received this as part of the product review club and I am loving it!!! It's a wonderful, lightweight moisturizer which is so nice for those hot & sticky summer days.... I've been using this product for about 10 days now and I can definitely feel an improvement on my face... My fine lines are less visible and my skin is definitely smoother. This product does what it says.... LOVE IT!

    I was thrilled to receive this product for review! I have been using at night and in the morning on my face, neck and chest for the past 2 weeks. The serum smells natural, is very light weight with a relatively quick absorption. I like the fact that many of the ingredients are organic, and that some are from fair trade sources. I'm 41, have clear skin that hardly ever breaks out, but tend to get a shine on my T-zone. I did notice that my face was a bit more oily looking while I was using this. I feel like my neck and chest is the area on me that is starting to age and look older (I'm 41). Unfortunately, I didn't really see any changes there and I haven't really noticed any change in my skin's suppleness in the past 2 weeks. Overall, the product is a nice, light moisturizer but it didn't blow me away.

    I have combination skin and still tend to break out along my forehead and chin so I was nervous about applying this to my T-zone since it's not oil free. Instead, I've been using it around my eyes and cheeks and no issues with clogged pores. There's definitely a scent but it's not bothersome. I find the application quite smooth and light. My skin feels softer in those areas but I don't know if I would say that it's visibly smoother.

    It's only been a bit over a week of use so I'll continue to use it. I like that it's made of natural ingredients and I haven't noticed any issues of irritation. So far it seems like an average serum to me but the price is quite reasonable.

    I was extremely happy with "The Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Serum." It has made my skin so soft and supple and appears and feels smoother. I have had so many compliments since I began using it that I have lost count. I keep getting asked what I did to my skin and I have told them all that the only thing different that I've done is started using the Body Shop's Nutriganics Smoothing Serum. I think it has a nice fresh scent and it's not greasy at all. It makes my skin feel really healthy and gives me a nice glow without looking shiny. I plan on getting more of this product and it will be on my top ten list forever. Love it!

    I love this stuff!! At first i was skeptical because i'd thought it'd be another serum that would leave my face and makeup sticky all day long. As soon as I put it on, the serum immediately absorbed in to my skin and felt great. I have extra dry skin so I put on my cetaphil over top, then my makeup and my skin felt great all day. Its my 4th day using it and I didn't get any breaks, no reactions. Really great product!!

    Thank you to the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club for including me in the group who got to try The Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Serum.

    I have been using the serum on the right side of my face only for about 12 days now. At this point I am sad to report that I can not see any difference from the left to the right side of my face, as far a fine lines or skin texture. The product has an odour that is not offensive, but it's good that it doesn't hang around too long after application. I like the texture of the serum; light and absorbs quickly. However, I still used my regular moisturizer over it.

    After a few days of using the product I noticed a few small pimples on my chin and near my nose. I started avoiding those areas when I applied the serum and they cleared up. I now only use it around my eyes.

    I hope that with longer and consistent use I will see a change in my very few and very fine lines as well at the texture of my skin. But at this, early stage, I have very little to report.

    As I have experienced a breakout and not seen the results I was expecting I would have to say, at this point, I would not recommend this product.

    Should I find more to report, after further use, I will update this review.

    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.

    I received The Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Serum through the product review club and have been using it daily. I kept looking for a 'pamphlet' to direct me on how to use the product but it didn't come with one. Most skin care lines come with directions on how to use them, the only place you are told to use the product is on the box! No big deal really but I would have liked a bit more info on the product. I can't say I'm a fan of the scent- I had friends over last week and when I put some on my face everyone was commenting on the unattractive scent! The smell does fade quickly enough but I wouldn't recommend wearing it if you have a hot date ;-) I had a 'minor' breakout last week when using the product but my skin looks great this week, I guess my face was just getting used to the new product. My skin does feel softer after using the product and I have very, very tiny laugh lines when I smile that I can't even notice anymore. So I'll credit Nutriganics to helping with that. The price is great ($25) especially since I have spent MUCH more using Estee Lauder. I would buy it again but would probably do so in the winter months when my skin needs an extra dose of moisture!
