The Drops of Youth™ Youth Liquid Peel* is one of The Body Shop’s best selling products. It promises fresh, smoother and more luminous youthful-looking skin and 88% of women agreeing that it ‘instantly feels like dead skin cells are lifted’. With promises like this you have to wonder whether this product is really worth the hype.

Made with 95% ingredients of natural origin, it only takes a couple of pumps of our new Edelweiss Liquid Peel to gently exfoliate and leave skin looking smoother, more luminous and feeling fresher – just ask the 117 women who tried (and loved!) our new peel in an independent user trial*. I love this product. I’ve used it for 2 years and use it once a week and my skin loves it. By far my favorite skin care product 😊 – @faylanigan In this post we’ll be exploring 2 key questions, does it work? and is it vegan? The Body Shop Drops of Youth Liquid Peel | end of bottle review Does it work? My First Impression There’s one more surprise – our recyclable bottle*** is now made with 100% post-consumer recycled plastic too. What’s not to love? There are very few products that transform your skin straight away but I noticed a big difference instantly. It’s like I finally understood what bright skin meant!Following our previous conversation about the Drops of Youth Liquid Peel, I am happy to inform you that the product indeed is vegan and I apologise for the misleading information. Retinol expressed as Retinol acetate. The radical protection factor (RPF) was measured in vitro by electron spin resonance. As I’ve reached the end of the bottle, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with this product. I can’t deny that it works wonders, but there’s something a bit off about the ‘dead skin’ that comes off it clumps. As the residue built around my bottle I had to wonder … is that just part of the formula? I’ve received the confirmation about this from the relevant team and can assure you that it definitely is vegan and you can feel free to use it. The Body Shop Customer Care Team And that’s not all. We’ve now enriched every bottle with double the concentration of edelweiss, which is naturally (and rather uniquely) strengthened with leontopodic acid known for its antioxidant properties. In fact, the tiny edelweiss plant is so resilient and powerful that its extract has 43% more antioxidant power than retinol.** Pretty extraordinary, right?

It’s so good for freshening up your face and getting rid of all that dull skin 😚 SO GOOD you can actually see the dead skin clump up as you rub this in 👀 or is that just what they want you to think? 😒 I tried this from a friend and I’m 100% in agreement with you, it’s what’s in the product!– @thecrueltyfreebeautybox I HATE this with a passion, it’s like I’m waxing my face with a ball of glue! A friend gave me the tip of using it on my feet!– @cruelty_free_emmy
