Today I’ve brought to you a review of the TBS Drops of Youth skin serum and eye-concentrate duo from their Nutriganics range. Long back, I was invited to the launch event of these two miraculous products at The Body Shop store, City Center, Kolkata. If you don’t have any idea what it was all about then read the full post here. At that event, we were presented with the products by the brand.

As you can tell by the name the Drops of Youth duo works as anti-ageing treatments. I use the skin serum twice a day after cleaning my face but I use the eye concentrate only in the nights. I have seen that applying the eye concentrate in night gives it more time to sink into the skin and also it helps relaxing the eye area which is very refreshing for the entire body and soul.

Drops of Youth Skin Serum

The Body Shop Nutriganics Drops of Youth Duo| Review

Packaging: The skin serum comes in a glass bottle packaging with a screw lid that actually is a dropper. When you push the top of the lid the fluid gets collected into the dropper and then when you push again it gets dispensed. The dropper is also made of glass which makes the whole thing inappropriate for travelling.

How to use: I use it twice a day after cleaning up my face and neck. I take about 2 drops of it (a little goes a long way) and gently apply it on all over the face. Then I follow it by applying my moisturizer. This product is supposed to be applyed on bare-face after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing.

Consistency: The product is quite dense in consistency but then it is not sticky too. It spreads easily and uniformly on the skin without giving that sticky feeling. It blends effortlessly and sinks into the skin within no time. As it isn’t very thick and viscid it could be used throughout the year without any hassle.

My Experience & Review: I think this is the first time I have been so impressed with a skincare product. When I started using, it seemed to be an average product to me- a serum that works as an anti-ageing agent, but soon I was proved wrong. I have been using it for almost two months (or more) and over the time I have found out that my skin has improved magically. I am blessed with a good skin, I don’t have acne and blemishes but I do have some other minor problems like uneven skin and occasional breakouts. This serum has worked as a magic potion for me as it has eliminated the unevenness making it visibly smooth and soft. The occasional breakouts I used to get during ‘that time of the month’ or after threading my eyebrows no longer appear. I have not brought any changes to my lifestyle or diet so I believe it’s the serum that has prohibited the furtive breakouts from appearing.

The price is slightly on the higher side but believe you me people, it’s worth every penny!

Drops of Youth Eye Concentrate

The Body Shop Nutriganics Drops of Youth Duo| Review

Packaging: This product comes in a plastic bottle-type packaging with a pump which has a metallic roller-ball end. It also comes with a semi-transparent plastic cap. The packaging is very sleek and travel-friendly. It can easily fit into a purse or wallet while travelling.

How to use: I use this concentrate only at the night because I have found that it works best when you rest your eyes after the application. In this way, you give some time to the serum to sink into the eye area which results in fresh and awakened eyes the next morning. You have to pump a small amount of product (that you can see dispensing from the roller-ball area) and apply directly underneath he eyes with the help of the roller ball. Don’t tug and pull as you might reverse the operation that the product is supposed to do. After you spread the serum evenly, now you have to use your ring finger and gently pat it until it sinks in entirely.

Consistency: It’s a concentrate so it has to be a little denser in consistency. Again, this product is not sticky and spreads effortlessly. It doesn’t leave the eye area dehydrated post application.

My Experience & Review: I have been noticing some fine lines under my eyes and you know that it is not a delightful sight for a woman. I started using this hoping that it’d fade away the nefarious lines beneath my eyes, but it did nothing like that. The fluid is very cooling and it instantly removes any sort of tiredness from the eyes making them fresh and awakened. The metallic roller-ball applicator works best as the metal soothes the eye area and provides the cooling sensation that is most required after a hectic day. For me, it works as a potion that soothes my eyes, makes them look awakened, eliminates the puffiness and takes the fatigue away. It doesn’t fade dark circles, doesn’t work on fine lines and unlike the company claims it doesn’t make the eye area look firm instantly but with continue use, it makes the eye-area look firmer over some time. The key ingredient is the stem cells of the Edelweiss flower that grows in the Alpine region in the adverse conditions and considered as natural anti-ageing agent.

My overall experience with this eye concentrate is pretty good. It’s a product by the liaison of nature and science which leaves me in no distrust that it will work best for me. If you want an eye-concentrate that is supposed to eliminate dark circles and fine lines then you should stay away from it.

Price: Rs. 1995/- for 10ml

The Body Shop Nutriganics Drops of Youth Duo| Review

Overall, I have been loving both the products a lot, especially the skin serum. 30ml of products goes for a really long time. I have been using it for two months and a few days and I guess it would last me for another two months at least. The eye-concentrate is also a decent product for soothing your fatigued eyes. If I ever plan to repurchase any of them, it would surely be the skin serum. I highly recommend the serum. If you buy it, it would be a smart and fruitful investment. I hope you liked the post. I would be more than just happy if you find this post helpful. See you again soon. Till then stay safe and keep smiling!

If you are following me on Instagram you would know that I was invited for a product launch and bloggers event at City Center, Kolkata by The Body Shop. We, at first were kept in some suspense about the product. On 13^th November, 2014, Bollywood actress and the brand ambassador of The Body Shop India, Jacqueline Fernandez was in the city to unveil the product. The product is an eye-concentrate from the Nutriganics range, named as Drops of Youth Eye concentrate. We, the Kolkata bloggers were presented with the Drops of Youth Power Duo which consists of the newly launched eye-concentrate and a skin serum.

Drops of Youth Power Duo is rich in the perfect combination of Nature and Science. The stem-cells of the Edelweiss plant that grows in the Alpine region has been used to made the products. These products- the Power Duo i.e. the eye concentrate and the serum get absorbed to the skin and make it more youthful and fights the signs of ageing effectively. When the lovely Aradhika Mehta, the National Manager of The Body Shop India was explaining us the formulation the only word that kept resonating in my mind was ‘Natural’- who doesn’t like to feed their skin with natural ingredients.

The Drops of Youth Power Duo makes your skin firmer and younger looking while the eye-concentrate makes the eye area bright and the eyes wide open. It fights fatigue and all the ageing signs like under-eye bags and fine lines.

Apart from the launch, the bloggers were offered some fun activities like taking instant pictures, eating delicious snacks, getting their portraits and caricatures done and a lot of chit chat and enjoyment. It was my first time attending an event, so I was a little nervous at first but not till Swarnali (Dreams and Drama) came up to me and gave me a hug. Then I got to meet a bunch of lovely Kolkata bloggers. I always wanted to meet Swarnali and Shayoni and The Body Shop India made my wish come true. I am really happy that I got the opportunity to meet the lovely girls there. I can’t forget to name the two beautiful ladies- Aanchal and Aastha who were very sweet throughout the event and made me feel very comfortable there.
