This or That: Collagen Body Oil or Vitamin C Shimmer Oil?

Questions and Answers

Body Oils

A:

We’ve added not one, but two brand-new body oils to the Q+A range. While they might look similar on your bathroom shelf, they serve different purposes for your skin. Whether you're on a mission to target stretch marks and restore skin bounce, or you want to glow beyond the surface during the summer months, we’ve got you covered.

What do they do?

Collagen Body Oil is your skin’s daily dose of restoration. Designed to support firmness, boost elasticity and target the appearance of stretch marks, this deeply nourishing formula is ideal for skin that’s changed over time (such as post-pregnancy), or simply needs a little extra TLC to bounce back.

Vitamin C Shimmer Oil is your shortcut to naturally radiant skin. It hydrates and softens the skin while delivering a natural, sun-kissed shimmer that catches the light in all the right places. Powered by brightening Vitamin C, it’s perfect for holidays, nights out or any time you want to dial up the radiance.

What's inside?

The Collagen Body Oil combines plumping Vegetable Collagen, renewing Immortelle Oil, and nourishing Omega-9. With regular use, Immortelle Oil is key to this formula’s ability to help with the appearance of stretch marks, leaving skin visibly smoother and more even-toned. Omega-9 pairs beautifully with Collagen, working to strengthen the skin barrier, lock in hydration, and support elasticity for a supple, restored feel.

The Vitamin C Shimmer Body Oil blends brightening Vitamin C to help even skin tone and boost radiance with a natural shimmer to add a sun-kissed finish. To keep the formula light and non-greasy, we’ve used Hazelnut Oil, a fast-absorbing hydrator that deeply nourishes and helps soften dry areas, leaving your skin silky, smooth, and radiant.

How do you use them?

Collagen Body Oil is made for everyday nourishment. Massage into dry or damp skin after showering to lock in hydration, focusing on areas prone to stretch marks or in need of extra care.

Reach for the Vitamin C Shimmer Body Oil as your finishing touch. Shake well before use to activate the shimmer, then massage into dry skin on areas you wish to highlight, like shoulders, collarbones, and legs. Give it a few moments to absorb before getting dressed.

What do they smell like?

If you’ve used our Collagen or Vitamin C bodycare before, these irresistible scents will be no surprise. The Collagen Body Oil is fragranced with a crisp and juicy blend of Golden Pear and Grape. Meanwhile, our Vitamin C Shimmer Oil features a zingy and citrusy burst of Orange Zest and Grapefruit.

What if I want to use both?

Honestly? We’d recommend it. These oils are designed to complement, not compete. Use Collagen Body Oil to treat and restore, then reach for Vitamin C Shimmer Body Oil to enhance and achieve a natural radiance.

Whether you rotate them based on occasion or use them for different areas of the body, this duo covers all bases from bounce to brightness. These products are newly available in all larger Boots stores and online.
