The Body Shop Drops of Youth Concentrate Review
Hello beauties,How have you all been? After a tiring week, I’m back to the grind with yet another product experience. I’ve come up with The Body Shop Drops of Youth Concentrate Review.
This serum is enriched with the goodness of 3 plant stem cells. Edelweiss from the Italian Alps known for its protective properties. Criste Marine and Sea Holly from the Brittany Coast renowned for their renewing and restructuring properties. These stem cells are infused in this serum to enhance skin renewal and trigger visibly fresh, youthful and restructuring properties. So with all the beautiful ingredients incorporated into it lets see how it fared on me.

Review
I have used this serum in my am and pm skincare routine for more than 2 months. I use it after thoroughly cleansing my face and applying a toner. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving behind any sticky or greasy feeling. I even use a moisturizer after applying it and my skin does feel super moisturised after using it. Continuous usage of this serum has made my skin soft, smooth and supple.
Some of the beautiful ingredients in it are glycerin that helps in moisturising the skin. Sodium Hyaluronate is a humectant and a mini version of hyaluronic acid that moisturises the skin and keep it hydrated. Salicylic acid and benzoic acid present in it helps in treating skin inflammation and redness. Whereas adenosine has proven anti-wrinkle benefits due to its ability to energise skins surface so it looks smooth and young. The amalgamation of 3 stem cells makes it highly potent in giving a brightened effect to my skin.
I have minor laugh lines and wrinkles under my eyes and it did NOT help in fading them. Neither did it cause any reduction in my acne scars. It has an overpowering fragrance but it did not cause any breakouts. It claims to be suitable for sensitive skin but I would always recommend you to do a patch test because of the presence of alcohol and fragrance into it. Overall it’s a good moisturising serum that gives a soft skin. But I didn’t find anything WOW about this product considering the price factor.
