The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil Review

The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil was the first facial oil product I tried in my life. I was a firm follower of a minimal skincare routine, i.e., cleansing, toning and moisturizing until I found this two-in-one facial product four years ago! So today, I am going to share my experience with The Body Shop® alcohol-free overnight serum-in-oil here with all of you.

My Experience With The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil (Review):

(Skin type: combination (oily T-zone, dry U-zone), dehydrated, sensitive, acne-prone)

As I mentioned, before this facial oil I had never tried any serum or oil for my skin. So when I introduced this product to my night skincare regime, I was quite hesitant about its effect on my skin. Let me share one more thing, when I started using this product, I had almost clear skin with no major acne issues. I finished it long back but as always forgot to review it! Anyway, let’s move on to the details-

Product Packaging:

The Body Shop® Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil comes with a dropper. The product-related information like ingredients, shelf life and other details are clearly printed on the packaging. I sealed the cap while travelling to avoid product leakage.

Product Texture:

The Body Shop® serum-in-oil has a clear, light liquid texture with a runny consistency. It has a pleasant fragrance which is not overpowering! 

How I used The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum?

As instructed, I would take only 2-3 drops of this serum-in-oil for my whole face and neck. I would gently pat my skin followed by a light massage with fingertips until it got absorbed. I would complete my skincare routine with the lightweight night cream. If I was using a hydrating toner & night cream, I would apply only 2 drops and if non-hydrating then 3-4 drops for the entire face and neck. I would suggest, start with 2 drops first, twice a week in case you have oily skin. I have also used this oil with my day-moisturizer!!

Product Performance:

It may sound weird, but honestly, at first, I was unsure about its name and category!  Is it a facial serum or oil? If you are wondering the same then let me tell you, I checked the ingredients and the product description of it where they have clearly mentioned that this overnight skincare treatment has the highest concentration of Wheat-germ oil and it also combines the power of a serum and oil. Therefore, we can categorize it as a facial oil! The lightweight runny texture, however, is similar to that of serum or essence thus you get the benefits of both the worlds. GREAT!!

This serum-in-oil has a nice fragrance which is plus for those who loves scented skincare products and con for those who hates fragrance in skincare products. I love scented skincare products so I had no issues with it. When applied on the skin, it gets absorbed by the skin quickly providing you with a soft, healthy glowing face and absolutely prepped for the next step- moisturizer. 

Enriched with Vitamin E, nourishing plant oils like sweet almond oil, wheat germ oil, sunflower oil, marula seed oil, jojoba oil and their community trade Soybean oil it helps replenish the dry, dull skin. Every morning I woke up to a fresh, non-shiny, radiant-looking skin! I loved its hydrating effect so much that it motivated me to include serums/oils permanently in my skincare routine 😍.

Initially, right after the application, it seems as if it imparts a thin oily layer to the skin but no worries, it vanishes away soon. Mind you, it’s not going to provide you the matte finish!! I mean it feels absolutely lightweight & non-greasy provided you have applied the right amount. Too much amount can lead to greasy skin followed by breakouts and all, especially if you live in humid climates 😐. 

Does The Body Shop Vitamin E OvernightSerum-in-oil Cause Acne?

As I mentioned earlier, I had clear, acne-free skin when I started using this product in 2017 and thankfully everything was going well until April 2018. A sudden change in my diet and BOOM! My facial skin was covered with cystic acne, dark spots and what not! By the end of December 2018, my skin condition got improved and I bought a second bottle of this overnight serum. 

I didn’t experience any breakouts or irritation by using this product before April 2018. But somehow, I noticed since that acne-episode, my skin has been rejecting maximum skincare products infused with oils, be it natural or non-natural!! Whenever I used this oil, I got red bumps near my nose and chin area. Hence I had to stop using this product. 

But being an economical person, I couldn’t throw it away! So I used it to hydrate my body skin until it got expired. And it moisturized my dry skin amazingly!! I felt so relaxed and happy.

What I Disliked About The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil:

• Nothing as such! It was doing a great job in hydrating my skin until summer 2018 and suddenly, my skin started hating maximum oil-infused skincare products including THIS one!! So, check the ingredients before buying this product. If you are allergic to plant oils then better avoid it as this has a high concentration of seed oils.
• It contains Parfum!! If you are sensitive to fragrance then beware, it has way too many perfuming agents. Check the above ingredient details section, please!
• Expensive !! But I found it value for money

EE BLOG Rating: 

4.8/5

Suffice to say,

The Body Shop® Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil is a wonderful fast-absorbing non-greasy yet nourishing skincare product. This facial oil-cum-serum will be your BFF if you are craving for softer, fresher and glowing skin. It is suitable for all skin types; however, I feel it is ideal for dull, dry to combination skin.

We all have different skin types. So if it affected my skin doesn’t mean it will affect yours too! I have explained everything in detail, why it stopped working for my skin the second time😞. If you don’t have similar skin issues, then definitely give this product a shot.
