I have normal to dry skin, so when this came out I had to try it-I was sold on the fact that it was to be used in the shower-saving time. It does leave my skin feeling soft but i feel greasy even after washing it off. my hands felt like they had a slight film on them. It has a slight clean scent to it,which is nice I do like the ease of use of the pump but I don't think I will repurchase as there are other quick options out there these days

Reviews
I received this product in my December Beauty Box and was so excited to trial it after reading so many rave reviews. I have to say- either I have midget hands or the rest of the world must have super strong hulk hands!!!!! The in shower moisturiser comes in a large, wide plastic bottle which dispenses product from the bottom. It took two hands and an almighty squeeze to get the product out and this only got harder as your hands got slippery from using it! Unfortunately, for me the packaging completely over rides any positives- if you can't get the lotion out, it doesn't matter how good it is. And it IS a very good moisturiser- it is rich and lightly scented and leaves your skin silky. I love the concept and feel with a complete overhaul of the packaging, it could be a must have for my beauty routine.
I bought this when it first came out as I love the idea of an in shower body conditioner, especially in winter so I can stay in the shower longer! It was ok at moisturising but that meant the awkward shaped bottle also kept slipping out of my hands! I really didn't like the smell either. I didn't intend to buy this again but did when I ran out of body lotion on holiday in Brazil. It was great in a hot climate as I found I couldn't apply normal body lotion easily as I would be sweating as soon as I got out of the shower. It was in a smaller bottle but the plastic split and it ended up leaking all the way round Brazil! I guess this just isn't for me!
Tips: Great to use in hot climates but I think Lush makes better in shower conditioners although they are a bit spendy.
I have only just tried this product, I received a free full size sample last week. I personally would not have purchased this due to the price and I hate the packaging (Cheap... Keeps falling over in the shower !!!) However I suffer from really dry skin and this product has somewhat help. Would I purchase this again NO not unless the change the packaging.
Tips: Buy Something Else
I gave this a go and wasn't a huge fan. It left me feeling really greasy and when I dried myself I ended up having lint from the towel stick to me like crazy.
I have very dry skin so I thought I would try it and purchased two bottles one for each bathroom, I found it hard to use i squeezed it and due to the cream being as thick as wet cement I had to squeeze it between my knees, also I found after a few uses that I still needed to use moisturiser, I will not be repurchasing because if I have to work that hard in the shower to have to moisturise anyway haha well it. Defeats the purpose of the product. I may as well buy 8 scratchy tickets.
Tips: Use knees it's less stressful on your hands
Sadly, this product did not live up to expectations for me. I have very dry skin so was very keen to try this product, along with the ease of use and ability to put my clothes on straight away post shower. When used as directed, the moisturiser felt great and was easy to use. I was sceptical when I towel dried myself that it was going all over the towel. My legs felt smooth and looked hydrated. However, this did not last. Within a couple hours, they were starting to look dry again. I would not purchase this again and would continue to use my normal routine.
I have pretty dry skin, so am always on the look out for new products to help with it. I got a sample of this, and tried it last night. What a disappointment. First off, it smelled like men's deodorant which is not ideal for a product that I'd imagine mostly women would use. Unscented would be much better, or a more feminine scent. Then I rubbed it on, and washed off as instructed. I felt a bit sticky afterwards, and had to wait a while to get dressed which was not great. I feel a bit less dry today, which I suppose is good, but I'd certainly never choose this over any other generic body moisturiser. A real shame, for something that had the prospect of being a very cool and handy product.
Just tried my sample - I'll never, ever use this again (I threw the second sample away!)
I found it thick, gloopy, and when I rubbed it all over, it left a rubbery film on my skin. Had to use the cheap nasty gym soap in the dispenser on the wall to wash it off. Some got in my hair and now I have greasy patches in my hair. And the smell is not pleasant. Even after washing it off, when I towelled myself dry I felt slippery and moist (not moisturised, but moist, like sweaty...), and my clothes stuck to me.
I'll keep to moisturising after my shower!
Despite the promises made this product did disappoint me. The lotion does not do as well as applying the traditional way. The bottle is too big to hold comfortably and apply at the same time. Nivea is my favourite brand but this product will not make my shopping list again.
