The Naturium Body Wash That Has Become A Firm Fixture In Our Routine

Naturium The Smoother Body Wash Review | Space NK
Ingredient-based beauty brand Naturium has given its bodycare line the same treatment as its skincare offering. Heavyweight ingredients such as glycolic acid and vitamin C take centre stage and the huge 500ml bottles are still incredibly affordable. There are currently four body washes to choose from, including The Brightener, The Glow-Getter, The Multi-Vitamin and The Smoother.

With the launch of Naturium The Perfector Salicylic Acid Body Wash, we decided to revisit our Naturium The Smoother Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash review. We road tested the formula for two weeks to see if Naturium’s The Smoother Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash lived up to its promise of gently sloughing away dry, dead skin. After all, this body wash be the ultimate spring prep and help minimise our summer bodycare routine. Here is our SEO coordinator Hanitra and beauty editor Victoria’s review on Naturium The Smoother Glycolic Acid Body Wash…

Hanitra's Naturium Glycolic Acid Body Wash Review

Naturium The Smoother Body Wash Review | Space NK

I am a big believer that bodycare is skincare and that is one of the main reasons why I was looking forward to the launch Naturium’s bodycare line, especially after trying and loving the brand’s skincare. I regularly use glycolic acid on my face to help ease acne and discolouration and smooth out skin texture. I think the idea of adding exfoliating acids to a bodywash is a great way to exfoliate your body without the hassle of adding in extra steps.

I found the texture of The Smoother really creamy; it felt very soft on the skin, and I really liked that it didn’t lather too much (I’ve included a swatch below). To me, it felt like using your usual bodywash and I almost forgot that the main purpose was to exfoliate my skin. After the first use, my skin felt smooth without any dryness, which usually happens when I use ingredients like AHAs. I followed with and was looking forward to the next day to see if my skin felt different.

The next day my skin felt super soft and supple, and I could tell that the layer rough and dead skin that accumulated over the winter was gone. I also tend to get body acne and after a couple of days, I saw that some spots were less red and smaller.

I already know I’ll be using this all spring and summer long to keep my skin feeling sooth. I’m really intrigued to see how this formula will impact the patches of discolouration and pigmentation I have on my body. A huge bonus is that you get a lot of product for a really good price, I think it’s totally worth it.

Naturium The Smoother Body Wash Review | Space NK

I’m quite routine with my bodycare. I like my morning products to be quick, effective and easy (Nécessaire The Body Serum Fragrance Free, £ 46,00 is a firm favourite) and my evening formulas to be incredibly indulgent and pampering (think Aromatherapy Associates Revive Shower Oil, £ 32,00, which I use in the bath and shower). I slotted Naturium’s The Smoother Glycolic Acid Body Wash into my morning routine. [copy] [copy]The first thing I noticed was the luxe texture – it’s super creamy, almost whipped and feels incredible. While the formula is super creamy, I also noted the absence of intentional fragrance. There is a slightly clinical scent to The Smoother which comes from the ingredients. This scent didn’t linger for long and I didn’t mind it on my body, but I didn’t enjoy using Naturium’s Glycolic Acid Body Wash as a face cleanser purely due to the scent.

In terms of results, my skin definitely felt smoother and softer, particularly the backs of my arms. Any little bumps were non-existent after using Naturium’s Glycolic Acid Body Wash for a week. I also skipped my usual exfoliator and used this body wash before adding Tan-Luxe self-tanning drops to my moisturiser. Impressively it didn’t look patchy or streaky.

The Verdict On Naturium The Smoother Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash

NATURIUM The Smoother Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash, £ 18,00 is great value for money; the 500ml bottle will last you all summer and doubles up as a face cleanser and body wash. The creamy formula gently exfoliates without causing any tingling or leaving red patches.

The lack of fragrance won’t be to everyone’s taste, but it does make this body lotion more accessible for those with sensitive skin. If you’re looking for an effective, multitasking body wash, this will be a great addition to your beauty routine.
