St Ives Body Lotion

I recently bought the Renewing version of this body lotion, which contains collagen and elastin. I have had other body lotions from St Ives before as I think they are generally really good value for money, and I like that they are cruelty free and easily found in the supermarket. This time I decided to go with the Renewing version because I liked the sound of the collagen and elastin in the lotion working to renew the skin and making it look youthful. My skin is not really looking 100% youthful anymore, so I thought this was a great idea. However, while the lotion provides great moisturization, I have not noticed any skin rejuvenation like higher elasticity or any change at all in the appearance of my skin that is different from what a regular body lotion provides. On the plus side, the lotion has a great, non greasy consistency, and I also think it keeps my skin well moisturised for a long time. It quickly absorbs into the skin and only has a mild smell, which I like. Given that the Renewing lotion is the same price as the other options it’s really no loss, but next time I would go back to the Oatmeal Shea lotion as I prefer its smell and texture. And it keeps my skin hydrated for just as long.

Loovvve the hydrating version. Smells great, works brilliantly, especially on my two year olds skin when he needs a bit of moisture. Tends to go on quite thick and you have to work it in. Cheap, effective and easily accessible! What’s not to love.

My mum always has a bottle of St. Ives on her dresser and when I ask her why she always says, “Because it’s cheap.” And it is. I have really dry skin that will actually begin to flake and crack if I don’t keep it moisturised (maybe I should drink more water!). I never found any relief using St. Ives. Sure, they smell good, and there’s so much in a bottle that it’ll last you ages, but when your skin needs attention, I feel like you need to give it something else. Some people really love these moisturisers, and that’s fine. My mum genuinely enjoys applying hers day and night, it’s become her routine. I’ll stick to mine :p

St Ives you have done it again. I absolutely love the silky smoothness of my skin after using this product. It absorbs well and doesn't have that gross oily feel that sometimes moisturizer can have. Definitely will buy again!

A moisturiser that I always just keep replenishing. Great for daily use all over body to keep hydrated, fast to absorb and lightweight.

I have been using the Vitamin E and Avocado lotion.. I love the smell it's so refreshing. These are very big pump bottles and can tell it is going to last me ages. It goes on nice and silky, not sticky. I have been using once a day for 2 weeks and as for moisture, I wish it kept skin looking moisturised for longer because I am lazy with moisturising during winter. But applying it more often might help with this

We are using the Vitamin E Hydrating lotion at the moment and loving it. I don't normally like fragrance in skincare but am forgiving myself for this one as it is for the body. The scent is lovely, not too strong and overpowering. I like to put this on after my shower and it moisturises just nicely, it's not greasy and doesn't leave a sticky feeling. It's good that it comes in a generous size and the pump makes it easier to use :) Would repurchase!

Parabean FREE!!!!!!!!! love this moisturizer, goes on smoothly leaving my skin feeling so soft and smelling so good. definitely feel refreshed after using this product! lovely smells also!

The collagen and elastin variety of this moisturiser has been my chosen body moisturiser for several years. It has no parabens in it, which is a huge tick for me, and is very moisturising. My skin feels hydrated for the day after using this cream, even in the summer when I am swimming often.

The cream isn't greasy or sticky, so you can get dressed pretty quick after applying it.
