After using up my last body scrub, it was time to look around for a new body scrub and I chanced upon Palmer Cocoa Body Scrub on Iherb.

Housed in a 200g clear tub, this is a creamy and gentle body scrub with a hint of cocoa scent and is never abrasive on the body. It provides a gentle exfoliation for a smoother and softer skin. 

How To Use : 

1) Apply the body scrub to wet skin in circular motions. 

2) Rinse off with water. 

3) Use 2-3 times a week for best results.

The key ingredients are....

Cocoa Butter: a rich natural moisturizer that leaves skin soft and silky, transforming even the roughest, driest areas into buttery soft skin.

Vitamin E: a powerful antioxidant that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and imperfections on the skin, giving a more even and toned appearance.

Shea Butter: deeply moisturizes and soothes dry skin while acting as a moisture barrier to keep skin hydrated

Crushed Cocoa Beans: exfoliates and polishes to reveal softer, smoother skin

Conclusion

To conclude, Palmer Cocoa Body Scrub is a creamy and gentle cocoa body scrub which is never abrasive on the body yet left my skin slightly smoother and softer. It is perfect for those with sensitive skin but may not be the one for those who prefer a more abrasive type of body scrub.

[ Review ] The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum

 

Product Description

Formulated with 30% pure L-ascorbic Acid, The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum helps your skin appear brighter and targets signs of aging. It also helps to protect against free radicals and pollution. Best used in the AM, the rich texture gives an instant smoothing effect, making it a great base for makeup.

Vitamin C is a powerful, multi-functional antioxidant and skin brightening ingredient. It helps to tackle the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dullness, and fine lines.

A good friend gifted The Inkey List Peptide Moisturizer, Vitamin C Serum and Niacinamide Serum as Christmas gifts last year and I was thankful for the chance to be able to try this brand. While I enjoyed using the Peptide Moisturizer, but unfortunately, the Vitamin C serum was too strong for my sensitive skin. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum is a 30ml tube in its signature black and white colours. It has a distinct weird scent and the texture has a smooth silicone feel with w lightweight cream consistency.
