This was a great natural moisturiser that smelt great, didn't irritate my skin and lasted a long time. Great value for money, under $5 from the warehouse. However I get bored of moisturisers and switch frequently but if I have to stick to a budget I'd probably grab another bottle of this as its one of the best affordable lotions on the market at the moment.

I don't mind this moisturiser. The packaging is ok. It's quick and easy to use and it lasts a while. The moisturiser itself is hydrating but I feel the consistency is too thick for my liking and it takes a while to absorb into my skin leaving me waiting for a while afterwards before I can do anything which slightly annoys me as I can be impatient. Whilst saying it is quite thick it isn't greasy at all and the smell is pretty good too. It isn't my favourite moisturiser though but I would buy it again as it is great for when I have super dry skin.
I have always used St Ives. My mum loved using St Ives Body lotions. Her bathroom was always filled with them. The packaging of the bottle is cool. I love the pump bottle its really easy to squirt out. The texture of the cream is liquid. It feels smooth against your skin. It feels clean and fresh on the skin. You get a lot of cream for your money. I always apply it straight after a shower. Its a great way to start your day. I will always use it. I would normally buy it in my weekly shopping. One bottle has lasted me about a month. My skin didn't dry out after use like others would.
My skin felt really nice and soft after this, and i have sensitive skin and it didn't react to this so i was happy with that! Nothing outstanding, just a good solid everyday moisturiser.
I'm useless at moisturising my body, but for a while there I was all 'girl, you've got to do this, you're not getting any younger', and during this phase I bought the Skin Renewing moisturiser from St Ives, because the idea of younger looking skin really appealed. (Funny that). I love the packaging, you can't beat a pump bottle, and the amount you get for the price you get (especially if it's on special) is excellent. What I especially liked about this product was that it didn't feel greasy on my skin and it didn't feel like a 'film' was left on it. It was super spreadable and sank it quickly. Also, I didn't go 'ugh' at the scent - heck, I didn't even notice a scent, which is a bonus as I prefer to let my perfume do the talking. Or, er, nostril invading. To be honest, I never noticed any dramatic change to my skin's elasticity, but I did like how it felt softer and smoother. Alas, laziness eventually won out and I stopped using it. Though if I were to buck up my body moisturising ideas again I would definitely reach for this product.
it does what it says it will. Its a light fast-absorbing moisturiser that doesn't feel greasy and doesn't take long to rub in. good value for money and the coconut and orchid milk lotion smells heavenly, although I don't have sensitive skin so I couldn't tell you if its ok on sensitive skin or not.
Tips: apply just after you have had a shower
These seem to last forever!! I really love the Oatmeal Shea which is nourishing, smells great and gives a nice sheen while out in the great outdoors. The vitamin e didn't do wonders for me and I felt as if it was a bit light as a body moisturiser, especially in comparison to the Oatmeal Shea.
We have these to use at work and have around 15 of us using it mainly for our hands and it lasts for ages! I always look forward to seeing which scent we have. They all smell gorgeous and leave your hands beautifully soft and hydrated and you aren't left with greasy hands which is really important. You don't need to use much which makes it very cost effective. I really like this brand of moisturiser and would recommend it.
I got this as a gift and I was very impressed with it so much so that I kept buying it. I have dry sensitive skin so need something gentle and not heavily perfumed. I use it all over my body minus my face and the difference it has made is enormous! My skin is so soft and supple I get compliments on my skin all the time and it's because of St Ives. I love the pump action bottle it comes in because it means no accidental squirts of too much product and it keeps the bottle clean. There's nothing worse than grabbing a bottle that's greasy from just rubbed in cream hands. The smells are delicious and subtle which is a big thing for me. I don't like overpowering smelling creams because it lingers for a while after. I team this with the St Ives scrubs and the combination works wonders!
Tips: Exfoliate with the St Ives scrubs before to get optimal results
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
