Garnier Intensive Lotion Review

My skin can get really dry at times, I don't know whether it's the weather change, but Garnier seems to be the perfect lotion for my skin type! The smell is divine! And it keeps my skin soft and moisturised all day! Couldn't live without it

This is one of those times when an unassuming supermarket product gets it *exactly* right. This lotion is capable of playing in the big league.

The bottles are generous and easy to hold/dispense from, with a pale green colour to them that (to me) screams 'soft'.

The lotion is a decent thickness, and the two scents I've tried (shea butter and mango) have both been tastefully scented and not overpowering.

The lotion spreads easily and absorbs readily into skin, leaving no residual oiliness, greasiness, or sheen.

Skin is left soft, lightly perfumed, and feeling and looking healthy.

The easy to open and close bottle is very generous for the small pricetag, and the lotion lasts and lasts.

A must for anyone who wants a cheaper lotion that packs a powerful punch!

i love the sleek green packaging of this moisturiser, it always catches my eye at the supermarket.

It does say that will leave skin softer even 7 days after application but I always moisturise more regurlarly, especially my legs and especially when shaving/exposing to sun, sea etc.

It is a lovely light weight fluid, and a small amount goes a long way, I love the mild scent, and the scent does not hang around for ever.

It is easily absorbed into my skin and dries quickly.

It leaves my skin feeling soft and supple and beautiful.

For a supermarket product and the cost of this it is an absolute winner,

I first tried this product out a few years ago when I bought it off ebay. I enjoyed using it but then moved on to other things when it was done. A few months ago, I saw that this product was available here so I picked it up from the warehouse for around $8 which is a good price for 400ml of lotion.

I have the shea butter version which is for very dry skin. This product claims to be a rich repairing lotion that will leave you hydrated for up to 7 days. I read the back and it says if you use this for 4 weeks, your skin will still feel hydrated even if you stop using it. I decided to give this challenge a go as i have dry skin and if i don't moisturize everyday, then my skin feels really tight and my legs especially get a scaly look to them. I used this for the 4 weeks and then went 1 day with no lotion on my legs. I felt no dryness or tightness and my legs felt smooth and hydrated. I'm still really impressed by This! I'm sure i could have even stretched another day or two with no lotion but I'm so used to using it that i forgot i was trying not Too!

The actual lotion is a normal consistency, by that I mean it's not runny and not butter thick either. It has a slight sweet fresh scent and also absorbs pretty quickly and is not sticky.

The only thing I slightly dislike which isn't even a big deal is the lid. I wish it was flat so you could leave the bottle upside down when it was almost done. Also I'm not totally sure the cap is travel proof, it does up securely but I feel like it could easily get caught on something in a bag and open up.

I will definitely repurchase this, just not right now. I currently have at least a years worth of lotion to get through but once I have, I will go out and buy more straight away. I totally recommend if you have dry skin too.

I picked this up from the supermarket, was an impulse buy - the words "Intensive 7 Days Nourishing Lotion for Normal Skin" attracted my attention.

I have been using this for a couple of weeks now at night. It has a refreshing, aloe vera smell to it. It feels cool upon applying to skin, texture is creamy and light. My skin feels amazing and nice - behold smooth skin!

Definitely a good value for money and nice day-to-day body moisturiser.
