Garnier Body Superfood Aloe Vera & Magnesium

As soon as I opened the tub of Garnier Body Superfood Aloe Vera & Magnesium both my 9 year old son and my bf commented on how nice it smells & I agree. The fragrance is quite strong initially but softens once applied to the skin. Perfect for applying after a pre-bed (or anytime) shower or those times when you don’t want to wear perfume but still want to smell good. My skin felt lovely after using this fast absorbing lotion, no itching or reactions, just soft smooth skin & did I mention the fresh, clean fragrance? Body lotion in a tub has it’s pros & cons. Pros; no wastage, easy to get product out and you always know when you need to restock. Cons; the tub is a bit bulky & while there’s little risk of leaking it’s not an ideal travel companion as it takes up quite a bit of space both in a bag & in the bathroom. But since I love this body lotion it’s otherwise attractive packaging isn’t a deal breaker. I can’t say whether my skin was hydrated down to 10 layers but I did test the 48 hrs of moisturising & wasn’t disappointed. I even used it on my feet which are rough from going barefoot & was happy with the results. I love that Garnier’s Body Superfood Aloe & Magnesium is cruelty free, vegan & 96% natural origin. The fully recyclable packaging also states the origin of most ingredients which I liked. Would I buy this again? Absolutely. Though do shop around as prices range from $8 at Countdown supermarkets through to $25 from other suppliers. A body lotion has to be spectacular for me to pay $25 but $8 makes this body lotion great value for money. I will definitely purchase Garnier’s Body Superfood again & I will try other products in this range to suit seasonal skin changes-the Cocoa & Ceramide is next on my list.

Packaging I give 10/10 easy to read can't confuse it for anything else I own.

Scent was amazing smells so fresh I could almost eat it 10/10

Initial touch test was just ok. Product was alot thinner in consistency than expected, I prefer a more richer texture. 7/10

Rubbing into skin felt soothing and cooling would be amazing for a summer day. could definatly feel the instant moisture to my skin. My skin stayed moisturized allday after application 7/10

Now this is the biggest flaw and why I will not use the product the moisturizer leaves a weird texture on my skin almost like sunblock you know the oily water resistant feel. I thought maybe i used to much so tried a smaller amount and the texture was still the same dissapointing as it was quite promising in the first instance. I hated the feeling so much i won't be using it again

Packaged in a BIG tub, this lotion packs quite a punch. I love the tub. It means I can get all of the product out, which is not the case with pump bottles. Those, I have to cut open and scoop about two weeks worth out into a small jar. This has a lotion style texture and a little goes a long way. I have been using it for about four days and cqn see it's going to last quite a long time. I didn't think this would be moisturising enough as it is promoted for normal to dry skin, and my skin leans more to the dry side...but I was pleasantly surprised. My skin is moisturised all day. I am not sure how it would do in the colder months, but it works just fine now. Although the packaging says that it penetrates 10 skin layers deep, I don't think this is possible, and I am not a fan of this type of hype speak. The scent reminds me of tinned peaches? Kind of fruity and fresh, but not sickly sweet. The scent doesn't linger too long, and doesn't interfere with my perfume. Would I purchase? Probably, the price point is a bit on the expensive side, but you get a lot of bang for those bucks, and I think this will last me all Summer.

I can't tell if I love this item or not. The consistency and smell remind me of something - perhaps a face mask?? Its not necessarily a bad thing, but it throws me off a bit every time I use it lol. Its almost sticky, or 'goopy' in consistency but its not unpleasant at all, quite smooth and very easy to apply, soaks in easily to the skin. In terms of whether the moisturising effect lasts for 48 hours, I've not been able to tell entirely yet - though my skin certainly hasn't felt particularly dry. I'll continue to test it out and will update if anything else strikes me! I really like that it is in a pot rather than a pump, as I feel there will be less waste at the end - and the pot could be reused for storage which is a bonus!

I'm a big fan of the Garnier range and the moisturing cream didn't disappoint. This product is definitely a cream as opposed to a lotion. It is very thick and creamy, you only need small amount. It was easy to apply and mostly absorbs quickly. There is a light layer that stays on the skin to keep hydrated. There was no fragrance which was another plus for me. I would get this again.

I love the fragrance of this product, not over powering, but not too subtle. I love the feel of it going onto the skin and the fact you don't need a lot to cover an area. I used this on my skin that was scratched from gardening and it didn't sting and certainly helped soothe the area wonderfully. My skin feels lovely and definitely hydrated.

I’ve been using Garnier products for quite a few years and was excited to try this Magnesium & Aloe Vera superfood moisturiser. Very generous sized tub, which is great for me as my skins really needs the moisture boost all over!

I liked the colouring of the outside of the tub, makes me think nature. Easy to use screw tub. The smell is lovely, not too overpowering but still subtle and feminine (not too feminine) but I really like the smell. I’ve been using it every day and mostly after my shower at night and I actually think it’s helped my sleeping due to the magnesium, so that’s gotta be good!

It’s helped with my patches of extra dry skin and I’ve even talked my partner into using it. The consistency is nice, it’s not thick like a body butter but not runny either a good in between.

I really like this and will continue to use and most likely will purchase more in the future.

It was a great moisturizer! Left skin feeling very hydrated. I don't think it lasted for 48 hours thought, probably just 24 hours or until i had another shower. loved smell. liked packaging.

We already love the Superfood range of Garnier in this house, so I was excited to try the body moisturiser. It lived up to the reputation! It's a smooth, buttery cream that is readily absorbed by your skin. Love that it doesn't leave a greasy film, nor is it sticky or slimy. It's not a super thick cream, and a little goes quite some way. Definitely locks in moisture - my skin felt lovely for 24 hours. Absolutely gorgeous, fresh scent - not too overpowering but not so weak that it vanishes immediately. I had compliments on the smell so that's always a bonus! Love the pot - means you can lap up every last drop of this lovely cream. We suffer from eczema in this house and this cream didn't irritate us at all. I'm keen to try other variations to see if we react or not.
