Evolu Smoothing Body Lotion Review

This moisturiser does what it claims. This is a super hydrating moisturiser that really hydrates any dry skin.

The formula has quite a thick consistency but I would say the consistency is typical for a body moisturiser. The tube only comes in 200ml so personally I would use this to target dry areas rather than a whole body as you would need to use quite a lot.

The formula feels nice on the skin. It rubs in quite easily and it doesn't feel sticky for too long and manages to soak into the skin quite well.

The fact that this has no chemicals in it is a real plus as you know exactly what is going onto your skin and I think it would be good for anyone with sensitive skin.

The smell of this moisturiser didn't seem to smell like the ingredients of the moisturiser and instead I found it smell kind of like cola lollies but I wouldn't say it is bad, just not the smell I was expecting.

Overall I think this is a really nice moisturiser, the packaging is nice and the bottle is easy to squeeze out. I think this is really good for hydrating any badly dehydrated skin.

The Evolu Smoothing Body Lotion came in a nice rectangle box. The design was minimalistic which I think was meant to mirror how the product has no chemicals or parabens in it. At first smell, I thought it was a bit weird but I soon got used to it. I think because it is a natural product I had bias going into it but really is smells just like any other body lotion. The amount you get is good, and a little goes a long way so I would say that you get what you pay for.

Now onto the actual body lotion. It is a nice texture. Not too heavy but at the same time not too runny. When it is first rubbed into the skin it can feel a bit tacky but after a minute or two it absorbs in and makes the skin feel nice and smooth. It didn’t irritate my skin at all and I would attribute that to the product being quite natural. I found that after the first week of using this product my skin no longer itched which I had previously had problems with due to my skin being really dry. I think this body lotion really did wonders in re-hydrating my skin. I would definitely recommend this product to anybody who is having problems with dry, itchy skin.

I really like the fact that this body lotion absorbed quickly and felt really nice on my body. And it smelt nice! :) The only downside was the price. I was given this as a gift, but I probably wouldn't purchase it for myself as I think $30 is a bit pricey for a body lotion and to be honest it's one of those things that I'll use if I have it but I generally won't go and buy for myself. (I'm love beauty products, but moisturiser is one of those items that I always forget to use!).

This is an utterly gorgeous body lotion. It smells natural and delicious - I love the essential oils, and the packaging is great and easy to use.

I only need to use a small amount (so the 200ml tube has lasted a long time). It absorbs really quickly and leaves my skin feeling silky soft with a subtle fragrance.

I love the natural ingredients and the fact that it is NZ made.

I love how this body lotion is packaged for starters. The packaging feels so nice and luxurious and looks really pretty with the colour and designs printed on it. This body lotion smells exactly like citrus ice blocks you would eat after a good summers day at the beach, though the citrus smell is not overwhelming but really pleasant, calming and refreshing. I had recently gone to the beach and my feet felt so dry and cracked on the heel, so I decided to use this lotion for the first time and I loved the way it felt and soaked in almost instantly. My dry skin basically disappeared once the lotion soaked in and since then my feet haven't been cracked or dry at all. I really like this lotion and it is good value for the RRP.

I have trouble with dry skin. Especially on my shins where it looks cracked sometimes. I haven't found a moisturiser that makes my skin feel soft without being greasy. Until now.

I really like the packaging of this product. The tube is actually quite a decent size and I was expecting something smaller.

It is made in New Zealand which is really cool!

It smells okay. Not amazing but it's a fresh, clean linen type of scent to me. It doesn't linger long on your skin which I like because then it doesn't take away from my perfume.

The lotion sinks into my skin well when it's rubbed in. It makes me skin feel so soft and hydrated without being oily and greasy feeling.

I think I've found my new must have moisturiser

As always when I get selected for a trial I am always really excited, at the prospect of trying something new! This was no exception. It was great timing as my skin has been very dry lately as it normally is at the end of Winter.

The product itself is a lot bigger than I was expecting which I was happy about because it means I have so much product left to use! It comes in a nice box that has a nice green mint like colour on it. It also has a lot of information on the box. The product itself is in a standard lotion bottle with a sturdy flip cap. I usually end up somehow breaking flip caps but this one is nice and solid making sure my cream stays in.

I've mostly used this on my hands as they are the most obvious case of dry skin. From the first application I was hooked! I have shared this out to a lot of my friends as I now carry it around (even though it is quite big). I love the scent, it is subtle and yet very refreshing. It doesn't smell like fake fragrances it really smells like the ingredients used.

Straight away my hands were refreshed! The cream absorbed relatively quickly without feeling oily. My hands were left soft and smooth and I believe it has helped keep my hands more moisturised! Now I only moisturise once a day as opposed to 2-3 times two weeks ago.

Love this product! Wish it came in smaller sizes so I could keep them in my bags!

I have a history of bad eczema and this makes me nervous to try new lotions. However I will eat humble pie because this product is excellent. The lotion spread easily and it soaks in quickly. This is the best lotion I have ever used in terms of it soaking into the skin. The packaging is easy to use and I love the scent of the lotion. This is a definite winner.

I never tried any of the Evolu products before, so I was excited to get chosen to be part of the trial team for the Evolu Smoothing Body Lotion. Evolu is made right here in New Zealand, contains no nasty chemicals and it’s cruelty free! The Evolu Smoothing Lotion is also suited to all skin types. My skin gets very dry in winter and I already have a lot of stretch marks, I couldn’t wait to try it to see how well it will smooth out my skin.

I use it after my showers in the morning and night time while my skin is soft and can easily absorb the lotion. I squeeze half a pea size for each section of my body and rub it in my palms before I rub it into my skin. I rub it in a circular motion to equally distribute the lotion and until my skin has absorbed it. The Evolu Smoothing Body Lotion has a pleasant smell with a hint of lemon and lime, which are two of the ingredients of the lotion. It has a thick white consistency and took a while for me to rub it into the skin, but that’s the only thing I didn’t like about it. Otherwise it’s a wonderful product. My skin stayed matte but hydrated all day and the lotion didn’t give a sticky, shiny look or feel. My skin also felt very smooth with no signs of dryness and my stretchmarks even felt smoother.

I really like the Evolu Smoothing Body Lotion and I recommend it to anyone who has dry skin or stretch mark problems.

This is the second Evolu product I've tried and I absolutely loved it! The lotion is super absorbent, applies easily and is very hydrating. I have in the past used a combination of baby oil and body lotion to feel fully moisturized however since using Evolu lotion I haven't felt the need to use anything else in addition. It does nourish and moisturize problem areas like elbows, knees and heels and provides relief from winter skin. It isn't noticeably fragrant but it is not unpleasant either. I would definitely use again, especially in winter.
