Great scent

I received this item for free as part of ChickAdvisor’s Product Review Club.

First off, I want to say how much I love the scent. It is so fresh and original: unlike any other “typical” lotion scents that we are so used to smelling.

I used this body lotion over my entire body after a shower, and it did the trick. I felt neither oily nor dry afterward, and the consistency is just right.

I do like the product itself; however, I must disclose that I do not support Unilever as a brand. While they have made a statement saying they do not test on animals, they do however use ingredients that may have been tested on animals. St. Ives is one of their brands that has not been certified by PETA or Leaping Bunny as Cruelty-Free. Until Unilever chooses to stop supporting the use of ingredients from countries that test on animals, I cannot recommend this product.

Fast absorbing and smoothing

First of all, I want to disclose that I received this product free for reviewing purposes. When I first tried this cream, I really liked how fast it absorbed into my skin. The scent was really nostalgic for me as it smelled exactly like Loreal kids shampoo. It has kept my legs smooth and soft for hours. I'd highly recommend this product and will be using this for quite a while.

can we talk about the smell for a minute?

there are 2 things I am looking for in my hydrating cream: the smell and the hydration effectiveness. This lotion meets my two requirements. The tropical smell is absolutely amazing and it hydrates my skin without leaving it sticky. I have always been a fan of St. Ives products and this one makes no exception.

Works great!

This is a really great lotion! I love the smell. I found it moisturized my body without giving me a slippery feeling. This product also didn't make my eczema flare up.

Weird packaging but quality product!

The packaging was very hard to determine what the product was at first but eventually, in tiny letters I read “body lotion”. The smell of this product is amazing and because of this, the bottle will be gone fast! I found that the product itself felt sticky once applied on your hands. Once my skin absorbs the body lotion it made my hands fell so soft and fresh. I am very amazed on how well this product works. Apart from the packaging being overwhelming, I would recommend this product if you have dry skin.

*I received this product at no charge in exchange for my honest review/opinion.

Votre nouvel hydratant quotidien !

La première chose que j'ai remarqué de cette lotion, c'est ça bonne odeur et la sensation de fraîcheur qu'il procure à la peau. De plus, celle-ci est vite absorbée par la peau ce qui ne laisse aucun effet gras et collant. C'est parfait à utiliser avant de mettre nos vêtements ou avant le coucher. C'est définitivement une bouteille que je vais laisser sur ma table de chevet. J'ai aussi remarqué son effet super hydratant sur la peau. J'ai souvent les jambes sèches après le rasage mais plus avec cette lotion. Puis, à la grosseur de la bouteille, vous en aurez amplement puisque ça en prends pas beaucoup.

A lighter lotion

At first glance, this lotion sounds more like a breakfast bowl than a body care product. The ingredients contribute to make a nice scent, but can be a little strong if your not into more fruity scents. It is a lot lighter than the lotions I usually use, but it is nice to use for a quick bit of moisture when you don't have time to wait for a thicker one to dry. This may not be enough though if you really need to moisturize well,but I enjoy it for a light day to day lotion.

Nice light cream

If you're looking for a light and nice smelling lotion, then this one is a great option. It's a good lotion to use in the spring and summer as it doesn't feel heavy. However, for winter weather, this cream is not as thick and moisturizing as I would prefer. Overall, not a bad lotion for less harsh weather on the skin.

Love the smell

I received this product to try out in exchange for my honest review.

First of all, I absolutely love the smell of this lotion! It isn’t too overwhelming a scent, and it doesn’t linger for a crazy long time after applying, which is both a good and bad thing, I’d say.

It is very thin and absorbs within minutes, and just as it advertises, it does not feel greasy afterwards. My only issue with it is that I have fairly dry skin, especially in the winter months, so unless you apply frequently, it does not do quite enough in the way of moisturization and skin hydration.

All in all its a great product though, and I will most definitely be purchasing more when I run out!

Thanks Chickadvisor and Unilever!

It moisturizes effectively

I got this product as a free trial, and I have to say it works exactly the same as other St. Ives lotions. I actually could not tell the difference, besides scent. Still not as effective for really dry skin, unless you apply multiple times successively (works perfectly for areas that are not a desert landscape).

The scent is a bit much, has a sharp flowery scent that lingers. Problem being that I am not sure what in it causes that smell, as I assumed this would be mildly scented given the ingredients. I do not have allergies, simply get headaches from flowery/flowery-like scents. Do have to say it does smell really good if you are not "scent-sitive".
