Garnier Body Superfood Aloe Vera & Magnesium

Let me start by saying that the Garnier hair food conditioner has been my main thing for a few years now and it's all thanks to BR as that's how I got to try it so when I saw they have body food now I had great expectations & was lucky to trial it. The packaging is great I love the information saying what function and origin the ingredients are and the container itself is able to be repurposed - I used my empty hair food ones to mixup my hair colour into. The aloe magnesium body food is fantastic for my cracked dry heels - seriously hydrating cream. I also really like the aloe in it because it is soothing on my skin which gets sunshine several times a week when I'm at playcentre with the children and I burn very easily & my skin feels hot / burnt even when it doesn't look like it so having a aloe based cream to put on after the sun exposure is something I need. The aloe heals and gives releif. Magnesium tAblets are often used to support sleep so having some absorb through the skin helps with relaxation. I used this as a massage cream too before bed & I could feel the hydration the next morning. Having skin care products that penetrate through multiple layers of skin is something I want - so that nourishment is happening not just on the surface the skin is being prepared so that as exfoliation and new skin is revealed it is at is best. Love that this product days it does that and absorbs easy. For some the feeling of this cream may seem a wee bit greasy but if you have dry or dehydrated skin give this a try! The scent is like the hair conditioner but seemingly a little thinner in viscosity but more rich in hydration perhaps or texture wise. I'm almost half way through my tub now but I'm being heavy handed with my sore cracked heels and after some time in the sunshine. Thank you BR this product is helping me! My only gripe if there is ever one: the company is part of L'Oréal which does test on animals so there's probably a loop hole or something. If your very strict about that kind of thing. I will certainly be looking out for this body food I am happy with the results.

i got picked to try this, where to begin, i personally wouldn't use this again. it does work... but i couldn't get past the smell, and i was not a fan of the "wetness" of it. i personally like a more creamy/thicker cream, this just felt very wet putting it on. now if you can get past that, it really does work. i did the one arm test for a few days, where one arm has it and the other doesn't, and i can tell you the one i did it on is so damn soft, the other one feels like sandpaper in comparison. i mean its not that bad, but the soft one is sooooooo soft, it just feels really nice. i also used it on my husbands sunburn, worked a treat!

This product smells wonderful . But unfortunately for me it just sat on top of my skin for ages and left if feeling oily and a weirdly unclean feeling like my skin had been sweating. (This was a weird experience from me)

I adore this moisturiser!! The smell, the feel, the size, brilliant! It spreads super well and feels really nice to apply. The smell is gorgeous and not too strong and I love that you're getting a hit of magnesium at the same time! A little really does go a long way with this product and this means it would last a decent time as it is a pretty big tub. I love the tub because while it does take up a bit of room, it means you can actually get every last bit out of the tub, unlike pump bottles where you cannot get to the last two centimeters unless you cut the bottle open! The price really isn't bad for how much you get and how long it should last, I certainly would buy i! It is long lasting though I can't say I have tested out 48 hours as I shower every 34 but I certainly haven't had dry skin in that time and I've been out in the sun and generally do get dry skin this time of year but this does seem to be a long enough lasting moisturiser. I would definitely recommend this product, I really enjoy using it and for a reasonable price, why not?

I was quite impressed with this moisturiser. I have very dry skin and it works well. In winter I would require a more intense moisturiser but for the warmer months this is perfect. It absorbs quickly and easily, and smells AMAZING (I usually avoid fragrance in products but this one is lovely and doesn't cause any adverse reactions). The container is a simple tub which means you can get to all of the product easily, as opposed to pump bottles where half the product is left inside after using. However the lid is a bit fiddly to close properly, and I probably wouldn't trust it to stay leak-free if I was travelling and had the tub in my luggage. Overall a really pleasant lightweight moisturiser that I would recommend to all.

True to Garnier fashion this moisturising cream smells good enough to drink. It’s brilliantly thick and somehow still sinks into the skin quickly. I have very dry skin and have found this lasts all day without the need to re apply. I think 48hours is a stretch though, by bed time I noticed the dry patches on my legs are visible. I’ve found it to leave my skin feeling very smooth and hydrated, I even started using on my face on no makeup days because of the hydration it gives! Definitely would recommend.

I absolutely loved this. I was worried that it felt almost runny coming out of the pot, but it soaks in so we'll and left my skin smelling and feeling lush!!

I have been using this for the past week and I really really like it, the smell is so lovely and fresh & it’s a really nice moisturiser that doesn’t feel heavy on the skin at all! It’s part of my daily after shower routine it’s brilliant
