Hey girls..so I am in search of a bb cream and a serum..bosy shop products really suit me specially the tea tree line.
Should I buy the "moisture white shiso bb serum with spf 25"? or the "vitamin c skin boost serum"?
The bb serum is a bb cream+serum+antioxidant+sunscreen. And the vitamin c skin boost serum is a good antioxidant.
Please help!!

I'd go for the vitamin c skin boost serum...it has far more benefits for the skin than the bb cream.

If you look at the ingredients, you can see that the vitamin c serum is really just fragrance and a tiny bit of vitamin c so it's not really skin care.
I would go with that BB Serum because at least you have SPF which is very important.

The skin boost can react far quicker than the above mentioned bb cream to fade acne scars and even out skintone plus its going to be far better at prevention in regards to premature aging.

@Kitty...you can always layer spf over a serum...that's what I do.

Yep but I'm now even looking at Paula's Choice review on it. Personally I would not throw away money if I got no benefit other than perfume. And there needs to be at least SPF 30 when using a vitamin c serum, otherwise those pesky acne scars do not vanish or fade.
'Vitamin C Skin Boost is a silicone-based serum that contains more fragrance than vitamin C (listed as ascorbic acid). In addition to the fragrance, this also contains several fragrance ingredients which only add to the irritation the fragrance presents. Fragrance isn’t skin care and there are plenty of serums with vitamin C that either omit fragrance entirely or contain a much lower amount. This isn’t the serum to choose if you’re keen on vitamin C, especially because there are precious few other beneficial ingredients to be found here.'

@Kitty...I just peeped that out. That is indeed a bad one. Body Shop has some great stuff but this one is a nay.

I agree with Kitty about the body shop serum always go with a stabilized vitamin C serum over a c ester but I'm wondering if you can trust reviews from someone who has a skincare line there goal is to push there own products I rather get reviews from a unbiased source if you can find one
