Garnier Body Superfood Aloe Vera & Magnesium

Even though I knew this was going to be good, because I love Garnier products, especially their hair food, I am shook by just how amazing this moisturiser is!

I was gutted when I saw the "flavour" I was sent was the aloe vera and magnesium body superfood, however, as soon as I touched it I was so pleased I was. I probably wouldn't have tried this one if I hadn't been sent it and now I will continue to buy it all summer long (and then some likely!).

It has an almost gel-like feeling at first, cooling and smells like summer! It is thick and rich yet somehow also light. It literally glides onto the skin and sits for a minute before it magically absorbs. I was worried for a minute it was going to stay sticky, but fear not, it melts into the skin leaving you with the most luxuriously soft, smooth feeling and looking skin. It is like I've just come out from the spa after a full body treatment.

Furthermore, let's not forget how good it is for sunburn! Yes, I know, sunburn is bad. I use sunscreen on myself and my children daily, but our sun is so harsh and sometimes after a bit of gardening or sport, despite our best efforts to slip, slop, slap, we end up with the dreaded burn. Garnier Body Superfood Aloe Vera & Magnesium is a lifesaver! So cooling and moisturising, applying this before bed after a sunburn is the most relief I've had and helped me get off to sleep easily. My kids, daughter 16 and son 12, both love it too. I've also used it on my and my daughter's eczema when it needs soothing and it is perfect and doesn't sting or irritate, but leaves it super hydrated and relieved of itching and burning.

I'm looking forward to trying ALL of the others and will keep a supply of each for every type of skincare need I'll be back to share more on what the other types are good for.

Have a great summer everyone!

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

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!!

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 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.

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?

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 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!
