The Body Shop is broadly well-regarded in reviews for effective skin clarifiers like Tea Tree anti-imperfection solutions and brightening Vitamin C/Edelweiss ranges, and richly scented body care such as body butters and shower gels, but experiences are mixed on hydration and recent scent/formula changes. Reviews also flag overpowering fragrances for sensitive users and discontinued favorites, while praising long-lasting, non-greasy textures, standout scents like Pink Grapefruit, British Rose, and Satsuma, and the brand’s ethical stance.
I tried the strawberry lotion and the texture was...strange. It was thick but also kind of watery gel like? And when I used it, it felt sticky afterwards. My finance didn't think so, but I did. Not sure if it was an old bottle bc i got it on amazon.
I have their lotion and their perfume. Both smell amazing and are very long lasting. The perfume I have is more of a floral scent, but it's actually the only floral scent that I enjoy in a perfume. It's not overpowering at all.
I adore this body oil and how it feels on my skin, the texture is nice and it absorbs quite fast, it’s a perfect combo layered with moisturiser for a full moisture trapping kick. The scent is also so fresh and lovely!
I’ve been using this mask for a while now, and honestly, it does what it promises, of course just not in a “miracle overnight” way. The texture is ok, jelly-like consistency that feels refreshing when you put it on. It absorbs fairly well and doesn’t leave your face greasy, which I really like for a night product.
The next morning, my skin usually looks calmer and a bit more even, noticed it after 3 weeks using it especially when I’m breaking out or feeling oily. It helps reduce redness from my often popped pimples. smell is nice If you’re sensitive to smells, that might be a dealbreaker.
It can tingle a little at first, but that fades quickly. I’d say it’s best suited for oily or acne-prone skin types; if you’re dry or sensitive, it might feel a bit harsh or drying over time.
Overall, I’d give it 4/5 stars. I'ts reliable, refreshing, and effective for keeping skin clear, just not a game-changer. It’s a great addition for breakout control, as long as your skin can handle tea tree oil.
