I have the coconut milk and orchid extract one. It smells amazing and leaves my skin soft to the touch, I get my partner to massage it into my back (I have back problems) instead of using oil and it is easy to rub in and does not go all lumpy or feel yuck at all after. I wouldnt use any other moisturizer

Reviews
I have never actually owned this product before but my flatmate does and she lets me use it all the time! I love how it's in a big pump bottle, so it lasts ages and is easy to use. It smells great and leave my skin feeling super soft and hydrated. Only downfall is it takes awhile for it to absorb completely so you have to wait a little while before getting dressed or you can just chill in your dressing gown for a while.
This isn't my favourite nor is it the worst lotion I've used. I usually only buy this lotion when it is on special as it does moisturizes your skin but it just doesn't feel like it does much for me. I do like how you can get quantity for the price you pay. This product comes in different scents and different types for different measures of need for the customer. However, the product is runny and it doesn't absorb fast or easily compared to other brands I've used. Personally I buy it if its on special, but it nothing special in my opinion.
I don't mind this moisturiser. The packaging is ok. It's quick and easy to use and it lasts a while. The moisturiser itself is hydrating but I feel the consistency is too thick for my liking and it takes a while to absorb into my skin leaving me waiting for a while afterwards before I can do anything which slightly annoys me as I can be impatient. Whilst saying it is quite thick it isn't greasy at all and the smell is pretty good too. It isn't my favourite moisturiser though but I would buy it again as it is great for when I have super dry skin.
To be honest what made me buy the St Ives body lotion was the packaging. The oatmeal and Shea butter picture looked edible and well I just had to try it. The fragrance isn't amazing but it's not harsh. I use it mainly for my upper body as it doesn't help much on my legs (which are very dry)
Such a lovely light refreshing smell. Isn't oily and can pop clothes straight on with out worrying about oil stains. Feels gorgeous
I use Coconut Milk and Orchid - Gentle for sensitive skin on my kids bodies they all suffer from dry sensitive skin and found this to be just perfect for their skin
Tips: Try the testers if possible everyone is different I can't use it as it irritates my dry sensitive skin
I used this product all summer and now going into the winter its still doing a great job. I have a medical condition which means that my skin is very dry and sometimes itchy, this body lotion has made my skin moist and not scaly or dry at all. Feels nice - not oily or sticky - and smells great too.
Tips: Always apply moisture after shower/bath, skin will more readily accept moisture when warm.
I have a few on my shelf to choose from depending on the condition of my skin at the time, however the vitamin E one is my favourite. Vitamin E is great for dry skin, I apply straight after the shower and it keeps my skin feeling soft and supple all day. Smells great, feels great, an all round great product
Tips: Apply straight after the shower to maximise moisturising power
I have used the vitamin e moisturiser and while it was fast absorbing, I did not find that it moisturised my skin as much as other brands that I have tried. My skin needs a richer moisturiser as it is a bit more hydrated and dry so this didn't really meet my needs as much as it might others. It is a big bottle and value for money though.
