The packaging is appealing ,stands out and definitely would attract me to look at it ,it has good information clearly marked on the container about the product ,however I would prefer it had an inner seal on it .,and a tighter lid and I wasn’t sure if it was recyclable.
On opening it look thick and creamy and felt lovely on my hands ,which is the first place I tried it ,then my legs which get very dry ,it felt somewhat sticky,greasy at first but within minutes had absorbed in to my skin .
After a few days I felt it had hydrated my skin quite well so why I have said it did live up to my expectations ,so for that reason I would recommend to a friend .
However the biggest downside for me was the fragrance,I did not like it and found it very overpowering,I like to wear perfume and this would not be a good mix ,it was the only smell I could smell and for that reason alone I would not purchase it for myself .
Real shame as the product did work quite well for me .,However i did have to use quite a lot to get the hydration I need for my skin . Price wise it is average not too expensive .
There's a lot to love about Garnier Body Superfood Cocoa & Ceramide body butter and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others with super dry skin.
For me, the tub is a drawback, I prefer my body lotions with a pump. Having said that the lid is nice and snug, easy to open with one hand. The repairing butter itself is thinner than I thought it would be, more of a yoghurt texture than a butter.
The cocoa scent is faint and definitely not offensive, doesn't stick around once it's all soaked into your skin.
The soaking in is the second drawback for me, this stuff takes agggges to be absorbed, even on my driest skin.
After noticing this on first use, I swapped things up and used it straight after the shower and let it soak in while I dried my hair etc.
Afterwards my skin was super hydrated, with just a wee bit of residual product and no greasy marks left on my clothes :)
All in all it's a great product, I'd love to see it in a pump bottle given that it's not a traditional body butter consistency.
Perfect for self care Sundays, it's probably not an every day usage item for me.
Tips: Make this the first step of your shower to give it time to soak all the way in before dressing x
