The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Boost Serum — 30 ml Lightweight Radiance-Boosting Face Serum with Camu Camu

The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Boost Instant Smoother is a lightweight, camu camu–infused face serum that brightens, smooths and adds an instant glow to dull skin.

This fast-absorbing serum blends vitamin C-rich camu camu extract with a sheer, mineral-flecked formula to refresh tired-looking complexions. Designed to layer under moisturizers or wear alone, it delivers a subtle illuminating effect while helping skin feel softer and appear more even. The vegan-friendly, cruelty-free product is made with responsibly sourced ingredients and comes in a 30 ml / 1.0 oz bottle for daily use.

How does this serum improve dull, tired-looking skin?

The formula uses camu camu, a berry high in vitamin C, paired with light-reflecting minerals to instantly enhance radiance and smooth texture. With repeated use, the active vitamin C supports a brighter appearance while the serum’s lightweight base conditions skin for a softer finish.

• Contains camu camu extract, rich in vitamin C.
• Mineral glowing particles give immediate luminosity.
• Sheer, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly under makeup.
• Suitable for layering with daily moisturizers and SPF.

When and how should I use the Vitamin C Skin Boost?

Use the serum morning and/or evening after cleansing and before your moisturizer. A small amount spreads easily across the face; gently press into skin until absorbed. For daytime routines, follow with sunscreen to protect the skin.

• Apply 2–3 drops to cleansed face and neck.
• Blend gently and allow to absorb before moisturizer.
• Use in the morning for immediate glow; add sunscreen after.
• Can be layered under makeup without pilling.

Is this product suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin?

The lightweight, water-based serum is formulated for broad compatibility and is non-greasy, making it suitable for normal, combination and oily skin. Those with reactive or very sensitive skin should patch-test first due to vitamin C’s active nature; discontinue if irritation occurs.

• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation.
• Light texture works well for oily to combination skin types.
• Patch test recommended for very sensitive or reactive skin.
• Pairs with calming moisturizers to minimize potential sensitivity.

What are the key ingredients and their origins?

The serum highlights camu camu berries sourced from the Peruvian Amazon, chosen for their high naturally occurring vitamin C content. The formula also includes gentle base ingredients and mineral pigments to provide a natural-looking sheen without heavy oils.

• Camu camu extract from the Amazonian rainforest in Peru.
• Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) for brightening properties.
• Mineral glowing particles for instant radiance.
• Formulated without animal testing and with ethical sourcing values.
