Body Shop Face Treatment Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The Body Shop has provided skin care and bath and body products like the Body Shop Face Treatment for more than 30 years. The company strives to find the best natural ingredients from "the four corners of the earth", according to the company website. The Body Shop is also dedicated to protecting the "beautiful planet and the people who depend on it" through environmental policies and programs. The product line for this company includes bath items, skin care, makeup, hair care and fragrance. The products can be purchased through the company website and at other online retailers. They can also be found at the physical stores that are found in department stores across the country.

We are pleased to see that the company offers a generous 60-day money back guarantee on all purchases; however, we also wish we would have been able to find customer testimonials as well. This information shows that the company stands behind the products they sell, and offers consumers the ability to shop with confidence. When we examined the information for The Body Shop Face Treatment, we were happy to see that the company offers plenty of good ingredient and benefit information.

Product Details

We believe it is always a good sign when a company discloses a full ingredient list that allows consumers to make educated decisions about their skin care. The ingredients in The Body Shop Face Treatment include Water, Cyclomethicone, Butylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium Behenoyl Lactylate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Squalane, Dimethicone, Kinetin, Camellia Olefera Leaf Extract, Butyrosperum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Tocopheryl Acetate, Mica, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Titanium Dioxide, Xanthan Gum, Tin Oxide, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Fragrance, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, DEA-Cetyl Phosphate, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben.

Unfortunately, we do not see anything in the formula of The Body Shop Face Treatment to suggest that it would be particularly effective in diminishing the appearance of wrinkles. These substances might include matrixyl, argireline, soluble collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are all conspicuously absent from this list. We are further concerned with the fact that there are so many parabens listed at the bottom of the formula, since these substances have been suspected to be possible carcinogens.

The Good

  • The Body Shop provides complete ingredient lists and a 60-day money back guarantee.
  • The products are available from numerous sources online and in stores.

The Bad

  • There are no proven anti-aging ingredients in The Body Shop Face Treatment.
  • The company website does not include customer testimonials.
  • There are potentially harmful ingredients in the formulas.

The Bottom Line

We know that many consumers enjoy The Body Shop products for the bath and body, and may be tempted to give the skin care line a go as well. However, if you are looking for a product that will effectively turn back the clock on the skin, there are more potent formulas available than that found in The Body Shop Face Treatment.

** Our Top Skin Care Choice **

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2010: Hydroxatone

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Hydroxatone is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and contains all four of the most effective and exciting ingredients for reversing and preventing wrinkles: Matrxyl 3000®+ Argireline® + SPF + Hyuloronic Acid. No other formula combines these ingredients into one cream, and the Hydroxatone® website has testimonials from customers who have seen results. Argireline® and Matrixyl 3000® are two clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptides, while SPF provides sun protection and Hyuloronic Acid penetrates tissue to keep skin young and supple. Clinical data that a formula works says it all, and the Hydroxatone® website provides ample proof. When you factor in the trial offer, the potent formula, the user testimonials and the clinical studies, it's easy to see why Hydroxatone is our top anti-aging pick. >> Read more about Hydroxatone

Optional – For Enhanced Results: Hydrolyze®

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze
