Let’s talk about the one skincare ingredient that never goes out of style: Vitamin C. It’s the antioxidant every dermatologist swears by, the glow-getter every beauty editor stashes in her bag, and now, it’s the hero of one of The Body Shop’s most-loved skincare ranges. If dull, tired, “I-need-eight-hours-of-sleep-I-didn’t-get” skin is something you know all too well, consider this your sign to meet The Body Shop Vitamin C range- reformulated with at least 90% natural-origin ingredients and powered by camu camu berry, one of nature’s richest sources of Vitamin C.
The Secret Behind the Glow: Camu Camu Berry
Every hero needs an origin story, and this one starts in the Amazonian rainforests of Peru. The Body Shop sources camu camu berry through community trade, crushing the fruit to release an extract that’s famously packed with Vitamin C. It’s the common thread running through the entire range, working alongside skin-loving derivatives like 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate- stable, natural-origin forms of Vitamin C chosen for how gently and effectively they work on skin. The result? A collection formulated to fight dullness and leave you with that coveted “just glowed up” finish.
Meet the Range
Vitamin C Glow Revealing Serum is the range’s radiance-reviving superhero. Formulated with 10% natural-origin Vitamin C– The Body Shop’s highest concentration yet- it’s also enriched with bakuchiol, a naturally derived ingredient known for retinol-like activity on skin. Lightweight, non-comedogenic and made with 92% natural-origin ingredients, this serum helps reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation and texture, delivering up to 24-hour hydration along the way. Slot it into your AM and PM routine and let it do the heavy lifting.
Vitamin C Daily Glow Cleansing Polish is where your glow routine should begin. This lightweight gel cleanser doubles up as an exfoliator, infused with jojoba microbeads and perlite (made from volcanic glass) to gently buff away dead skin cells, alongside camu camu berry extract for that Vitamin C boost. Gentle enough for daily use, morning and night, it rinses clean without leaving residue behind- just smoother, softer, more radiant-looking skin.
Vitamin C Glow-Revealing Liquid Peel is for the days you want a little extra. This gel-to-peel formula transforms into tiny “noodles” as you massage it in, sweeping away grime and dull, tired skin cells to reveal a fresher, smoother complexion. Infused with natural-origin Vitamin C and camu camu berry extract, it’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin- use it two to three times a week for maximum glow payoff.
Vitamin C Glow Revealing Microdermabrasion brings the spa home. Made with 96% natural-origin ingredients, this creamy, orange, at-home treatment uses fine exfoliating micro-particles to buff away dirt, makeup and sunscreen buildup, leaving skin feeling fresher and luxuriously soft. Think of it as your weekly reset button.
Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser locks everything in with a dose of hydration designed to complement the rest of your Vitamin C ritual. New to Vitamin C? Start every other day and build up to daily use as your skin adjusts.
Vitamin C Glow Boosting Intense Moisturiser is the richer, more indulgent upgrade- a velvety whipped-cream formula enriched with olive-derived squalane, bakuchiol and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. It’s formulated to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and texture for brighter, more even-looking skin. In fact, after using the Intense Moisturiser together with the 10% Glow Revealing Serum for four weeks, 87% of users said their skin’s luminosity looked renewed.
Why It Works, Together
The magic of The Body Shop’s Vitamin C range isn’t just one product- it’s the ritual. Cleanse, exfoliate (a couple of times a week), serum, moisturise, and let Vitamin C work its way through every step of your routine. Each formula is designed to complement the next, building toward a complexion that looks less dull, more even, and undeniably lit-from-within.
So, if your skin has been giving “meh” instead of “main character,” it might be time to let Vitamin C and camu camu’s Amazonian magic take the wheel. Your glow-up starts here.
