Double down on hydration

The Body Shop introduces the newest addition to its Vitamin E range: Vitamin E Bi-Phase Moisture Serum.

Beloved since the ’70s, The Body Shop’s Vitamin E range is renowned for its hydrating prowess. The new and improved formulation is now enriched with natural-origin hyaluronic acid, carrying 1000x its weight in water, delivering a boost of hydration for all skin types.

The products come in more recyclable packaging, made using aluminum, recycled glass and recycled plastic.

“This unique Bi-Phase Serum is an exciting innovation that uses powerful natural-origin ingredients to help deliver happy, hydrated and healthy-looking skin day and night,” Laura Keane, The Body Shop’s global director of Product Development, said. 

The new addition to the range works across two phases to deliver serious results, hydrating skin for up to 30 hours. The serum is powered by natural-origin hyaluronic acid, providing intense hydration.

The oil phase is powered by Vitamin E and raspberry seed oil, leaving skin plump with moisture all day.

NEUTROGENA Hydroboost skincare line

Bye dull skin

The past year kept a lot of skincare enthusiasts on their toes because of the surge of trends like skin cycling or rotating your skincare  products and skin minimalism which involves trimming down your 10-step routine down to two. Despite these ever-changing trends, the goal remains the same: saying goodbye to dull skin and enlarged pores this 2024.

Fortunately, the road to bright skin has cleared up, thanks to niacinamide. And what better way to start the year right than with the new Hydro Boost Niacinamide Serum — a product that brightens and hydrates the skin and is known to minimize the pores in just 4 to 8 weeks.

Expanding its well-loved Hydro Boost line, Neutrogena introduces its newest Hydro Boost Niacinamide Serum which brightens, hydrates and minimizes the pores of one’s skin. With its dermatologist-inspired ingredients that are tested-safe for all skin types and skin tones, this product is a great addition to any skincare routine as it is proven to reveal a clearer-looking, hydrated complexion that visibly evens out the skin tone between four to eight weeks. Other than promoting a clear, healthy glow for the skin, the Hydro Boost Niacinamide Serum also boasts the combination of two powerhouse ingredients: hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. 

 “We at Neutrogena are excited to have officially launched this must-awaited, newest addition to the Hydro Boost line — the Hydro Boost Niacinamide Serum. If you’re looking for a product that targets uneven texture, dullness, enlarged pores and oily and dull skin, this product is the way to go. Using this serum and adding it to your skincare routine is so important when it comes to achieving that healthy glow; making it the perfect way to step into 2024 with brighter skin,” Neutrogena senior marketing manager Nica Rollan said.
