I picked this lotion up from the warehouse, something new to try. I really liked the smell of it, and the size of the bottle was good, showing you get quite a lot of product, but I found it to be a bit greasy/oily on my skin, and I had to kind of sit and wait for it to dry up/absorb properly. I ended up giving mine away as there is others on the market that do a better job for me.

I suffer from quite dry skin, especially on my legs so I was looking for a nice thick moisturiser that would sink into my skin and keep it hydrated. I found this product to be very light and that instead of sinking into my skin it sat on the surface and took ages to absorb. It does have a really nice scent to it but not the type of moisturiser for me.
Tips: Apply and allow time for the skin to absorb it before getting dressed.
I am reviewing the Mango formulation of this lotion - the smell is amazing a perfumey take on Mango, but sadly the formula is unbearable for me, it feels nice going on but it stays tacky all day on my skin and drives me insane with the oily feeling residue which sticks to my clothing and makes me feel all itchy. A real shame as this is a lovely product otherwise, but the fact it doesn't ever sink in properly is a real deal breaker for me. It is also super cheap, readily available at your supermarket and comes in a nice big bottle.
I ran out of body lotion & this was on sale at the supermarket so thought why not get it well it was a wrong move. The bottle is a decent size & it also lured me into the purchase but upon the use I was disappointed I thought perhaps I need to give a good go so that I did I used it right up to the end of its bottle & was sadly dissapointed it never hydrated any part of my body. My legs & arms were still cracked still & because the bottle was a good size I was very excessive ( heavy handed) which made no difference zero nuddah ziltch. I wouldn't repurchase this it's like jist putting water on my skin and that's it.
I really wanted this to work for my very dry patchy skin because the price excites me so does the size! The reality is it's just not that great for me.
I used the Shea Butter formula for dry skin and found it very hard to rub it in to my skin. It would leave white streaks of cream that my skin wouldn't absorb which made clothing hard to put on after use.
Usually Garnier products are my go to skin care products but this time it had me wondering why! I am sure that people with normal skin might find it well worth using but for me I just wasn't sold on the product.
The smell however was divine and I loved the fact that the smell lasted for a long time on my skin. The bottle is quite big for the price which is good because I love a good bargain when it comes to size for price like this.
The easy squeeze bottle is easy to use and gets the last drops out but I prefer pump bottles to minimize wasting product by squirting out too much at one time. I really don't have much to rave about other than that.
Tips: Probably better for a person with normal skin as an all over general body moisturizer not for targeting skin problems such as dry
