Garnier Body Superfood Watermelon and Hyaluronic Acid

A moisturiser that’s a gel and a cream in one?! I am a huge fan of the Garnier hair food range, so I was incredibly excited to be a part of this trial.

The package is a pot with a screw top lid. A nice, decent size and a little certainly goes a long way. I personally prefer a pump bottle as I hate closing lids with greasy hands afterwards, but it’s not a major.

Now for the smell. As I have tried three of the hair food products, I was looking forward to drooling every time I open the lid. However, for me, the smell is not drool worthy. It smells like fake watermelon flavoured candy tastes. Not my cup of tea, but the scent doesn’t linger on the skin for a long time, so it’s not too bad.

I definitely feel like my skin is hydrated and plumper looking, especially on my legs. Just in time for summer! I do really like how this moisturiser feels. If you apply a bit too much, it takes a long time to soak into the skin properly - less is more! It’s better to apply a little and then add more as you need it.

On first opening the Garnier Body Superfood Watermelon and Hyaluronic Acid to get my first impressions, I must say I was a little disappointed with the scent. I honestly thought it would have a light watermelon scent but it smells to me as though it has the same basic fragrance as a lot of other Garnier products, with a slight cucumber scent added. That being said, the body gel-cream surpassed expectations with its performance. Hydration is second to none, and I found it so satisfying to run my hands over my skin and revel in the softness it provides. I find that due to a health condition, no matter the weather nor the season, my skin is constantly dry and dehydrated. This body cream has removed the yucky papery and roughness to my skin, and the hydrating effects last for the full 48 hours on me which I absolutely love. The consistency is neither too thick nor thin, and I found that I didn’t need to use a huge amount to ensure my skin gets fully hydrated and soft. There’s no lingering stickiness or greasiness on my skin afterwards and it’s absorbed quickly, so I love that I can dress straight after putting the cream on. I will definitely be purchasing more of this, and I’m keen to try all the other ones as well. Another excellent product yet again from Garnier.

I really enjoyed the scent of this product..and the texture. Hydrates for roughly 36hrs before skin starts to appear dry again.. It clearly does what it says except for the time frame.. is an absolute pleasure to use - my sister and neice tried it and love it aswell.

This comes in a big tub, just like the hair food. Upon opening, the scent of watermelon is quite strong but it does die down on the skin. The formula is a pink gel cream, that goes on easily and absorbs really quickly. It’s ideal for using in warmer months as you can get dressed straight away and it doesn’t feel sticky.

I was initially attracted to this particular variety as it contains hyaluronic acid, an ingredient I love in skincare. My skin does feel hydrated but as for those “48h hydrating” claims? Well I shower every day so I can’t say if it hydrates for that long. It does leave my skin feeling hydrated all day and it felt even more so after a few uses. As for the other claim of “hydrate skin up to 10 layers deep”. I’m not sure that’s even scientifically possible.

Along with the bold claims, I’m also not a fan of the packaging. The texture is not so thick as to warrant it being in a tub. I feel a bottle or tube would be more hygienic and easy to store in the bathroom. Also the plastic the tub is made from is not easily recycled in my area. I think the tub is really just to fit into the branding for the superfoods range.

Overall this a good product that I enjoyed using. If you are looking for a gel cream for summer and love the smell of watermelon, then this is for you!

I really enjoyed trialling this product. Firstly, the scent is amazing, the first thing I noticed when opening the container was the summery fruity scent. I love that when you apply it to your skin, the scent lasts on your skin for quite a while. The lotion is smooth and easy to apply to the skin, and absorbs quickly just as it claims to. You don't need to use a lot of product when applying as it spreads so easily. I really like that its not a greasy formula so you can apply it straight after a shower and not have it transfer on to your clothing. It feels very hydrating and doesn't make your skin feel tight or tacky like other brands I have tried. I think this product is very well priced at around $16, and the container is huge (with product filled right to the top), so it will last a while. Overall I am very impressed with this product and would definitely repurchase as its so affordable.

Thanks for another absolute winner from BR. I've tried most of the Garnier Superfood Haircare range so was super excited to try the bodycare range.

I love the distinctive tubs these products come in - they're not full of nasties ((96% natural ingredients!), and they smell so delicious.

The watermelon one is fairly true to it's true scent - it's not too overly sweet or overpowering, and lingers nicely. The best thing of all is how quick this one absorbs into the skin. It promises 48hr hydration, and although I've been using it daily, I feel like it would be still nice and hydrating after a full day. I noticed after a day out in the garden that when my skin warmed up I could get the occasional whiff of watermelon which was so nice.

I prefer to use it after a shower or bath to make the most of soft skin - a little goes a long way, and with the quick absorption, you don't have to wait around for ages before getting dressed.

It's a great price point - the perfect size for sitting on the bathroom shelf, and is stackable (more flavours here I come!)

This product was amazing, I have really dry skin on my legs and this product made them feel so soft and moisturized. It's not thick and heavy like others, it's light and refreshing. I would definitely recommend you try it!

Hyaluronic acid & watermelon?! What an incredible combination!! The scent of the watermelon is TO DIE FOR! The scent stayed on my skin for majority of the day and I noticed such a dramatic change in the hydration of my skin. No other cream, moisturiser or skincare has been able to give my dry skin hydration (and for such a long time) the way this superfood has. I would recommend for anyone to try this cream, especially if you are wanting something fruity and to lock in hydration with this hot hot summer coming up! I really enjoyed the texture of it also, the gel cream feels so luxurious. The hyaluronic acid in it is a massive winning point for me, why wouldn’t you want a moisturiser with ingredients to help with fine lines, reduction of scarring & wrinkles. I have definitely noticed a small change in the fine lines in neck & chest area after just over a week of using it, I can’t wait to see more results. Garnier is becoming a brand that I am definitely wanting to look into more and am keen to try more of their products after this. I am super excited to use this all throughout summer!

This moisturiser is sooo good! In the first few days my skin felt more hydrated, soft, smooth. It absorbs into the skin so well too. It’s almost like a gel. The best part, the smell! It’s smells AMAZING!! Overall my skin has never looked or felt better. My once extremely dry skin is now looking nourished and hydrated and this moisturiser is now a very welcome addition to my everyday skin routine.
