Cuticura Vitamin E body cream

...The Body Shop Vitamin E Cream Body Wash. This product is for all skin types, and I am using it as it is part of a gift pack with small bottles of lotions and potions from the Body Shop. I am usually very pleased with the Body Shop products I use, however this particular one I wouldn’t buy myself, here’s Why: Price: I am using a 60ml bottle of this lotion, the Body Shop has a very good range of Vitamin E products and this one retails at about £5-£7 for a 200ml bottle. A bottle of this size lasts a long time, the small 60ml bottle I am using has lasted me so far a good couple of months and still going! I think this is good value for money for the size of bottle you get, but for the quality of product perhaps not.

I bought Superdrug Vitamin E All Over Cream, for £1.99 in well, Superdrug obviously. It comes in a huge clear plastic pot, with a screw on lid, containing 475ml of the stuff. It sounds quite cheap looking but it does look quite classy and won't look too bad on your bathroom shelf! It is incredibly cheap, so I wasn't expecting a lot! There is an offer right now, any two...

...Vitamin E creams are great for keeping your skin soft and getting rid of any dry patches. I started using these on the recommendation of Body Shop staff when I asked for advice last year. In the run up to my wedding both my skin and hair dried out badly. Obviously I wanted to restore my complexion before the big day. ~~~~ Why Vitamin E? ~~~~ I actually didn't start to wonder why until I came to update this opinion. Then I started to search the Internet and was surprised at how difficult the information was to find. Still I got there in the end! In general studies have shown Vitamin E can reduce the risk of non-fatal heart attacks. There has also been much research into the benefits of Vitamin E in preventing and treating cancer. But this opinion is about a skin product so I won't go into the health benefits too deeply... Read review
