Vitamin C has completely transformed my skin. Although, I have to admit that my skin didn’t agree with quite a few vitamin C products in the past, I finally found the formula works for me and this is it. This vitamin C infused face and body oil took me by surprise because I thought my oily skin could never survive an oil-based product and yet here I am totally blown away by it. Even though it is a skincare oil, it never made my skin greasy and has given me a glow from head to toe. My summer skincare kit was missing this product and I’m so glad for having invested in it. Here’s my honest review.
What Is It?
The St. Botanica Vitamin C Brightening Face & Body Oil is an antioxidant-rich blend of cold-pressed natural oils that polish, soften, and brighten the skin. It’s an intensive skincare oil formulated to reduce signs of ageing such as wrinkles and dark spots, and also reduce hyperpigmentation from head to toe. This oil can be used on the face and body and it contains ingredients like vitamin C, E, almond oil, tomato seed oil, olive oil, evening primrose oil, and aloe vera. It is a dry oil and so it gets absorbed very quickly by the skin and protects it from environmental damage.
Why Do We Love It?
It’s hard not to love it because it is like nothing you have ever seen. This oil comes with a spray applicator and the formula just goes straight to work once applied. Being a woman of colour, tanning and hyperpigmentation on my body have always been a concern for me while dark spots have always been persistent on my face. This oil literally did exactly what vitamin C is touted for and reversed my skin concerns like magic. It is a dry oil so this means it isn’t greasy at all and in fact, I also find it to be mildly exfoliating because my skin felt smoother and my tan disappeared within a few uses of it. As it also has tomato seed oil which is beneficial for removing tan, this face and body oil is ideal for summertime. The best part, is it didn’t break me out even in this hot summer weather and that’s noteworthy.

How To Use It?
Use it on clean skin only. It is best to be used immediately after a shower on your body and it can be used as the last step of a CTM routine as well. Simply spray the oil on your face and body and then spread it out with your fingers to evenly cover your skin. You will notice how shine-free this oil really is.

Don’t overthink just buy it. This vitamin C oil is really worth the hype and my oily, acne-prone skin approves of it. Add it to your cart right now!
