I know it's fairly new, but I fancy trying one or two of the products.
Anyone tried them?

What's nice from the range?

TIA

I've not tried it but there's a £40 for £20 offer on the 02 priority app at the moment if that helps!

..for the body shop

I got bought the serum. Dunno what else is in the range.
After a week it seems fine. Only using it at night. My skin needs quite a lot of it but I have dry dehydrated skin that's sensitive.
It's more of a gel than an oil. I have waited about 30mins on a night and then put on my usual night moisturiser.
My skin looks even toned, dewy, and in good condition.
Not had any spotty breakouts as yet. But I am not prone to spots.
The bottle to get it out is stupid. Badly designed.

I have used a few serums - estee lauder, Clarins, temple spa etc.

Is that the one in the big green tub? I don't like it, it's very sticky and makes my skin itch.

The serum is in a little glass bottle with a pipette.

I have just asked my very upfront 6yr old if I look less wrinkly. He says no wrinkles but I look old today and he can see a grey hair.

Ego fully boosted.

Oooh £40 for £20, that's even better Grin

I think the tub is the night mask (the picture of the baby bouncing on the sleeping woman's face )

I may have to wander instore and test them.

My skin isn't at all sensitive , not prone to breakouts so I will see if it likes the range.
Thanks

A couple of years ago DD (then about 6) asked why I was putting something on my face and I said it was to stop it getting wrinkly, she peered closely before proclaiming disdainfully that "it doesn't work Mum".Sad

Easter Shock doncha just love the from-the-hip grains of truth of the small child.
My 15yo DS reckoned when I got my hair cut I looked a bit like Carol from The Walking Dead (ok , I had some grey growing through but seriously )

So I need Drops of Youth and hairdye

I use the night mask in the big green tub, but I use it in the morning as a daily moisturiser. I really like it, but I'm not sure if I £22 like it enough to buy it again.

70 i have just looked at my voucher on my phone and there are some exclusions including the drops of youth eye product.

CremeDeSudo · 03/04/2015 19:57

I've got the night mask. It makes my skin itch for a bit when it first goes on and not sure I've noticed much difference the following day tbh. Don't think I'll buy any more!

I've tried the drops of youth in the glass bottle and the eye roll on thingy. I don't have sensitive skin at all but the drops of youth really didn't agree with me. Came out in several spots and had no beneficial effects. Was really disappointed as had high hopes for it. Can't fault the body shop customer service though as I took it back after I'd persevered with it for 3 weeks and explained the effect it was having on me and they gave me a full refund. The eye roll on feels lovely when you put it on, but again I never notice any visual improvements Hmm
