Garnier Body Superfood Watermelon and Hyaluronic Acid

I was so excited when I heard Garnier were doing their Skinfood in a body lotion and the fact that it comes in the same giant tub. It smells like watermelon but not in an artificial way and leaves a subtle scent on the skin. I’ve been using this morning and night and the dry skin on my legs has gone. I’ve also used it over scratches on my arms and it didn’t sting at all. The best thing about this product though is definitely how quickly it is absorbed into the skin. I can apply it and put clothes on straight away. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to try the other scents . Thanks BR for giving me the opportunity to try out this divine body lotion.

Literally on the first use I noticed a difference in my skin, it looked smooth and hydrated. I even woke up with my skin still looking and feeling hydrated, which I didn’t even get from high end body moisturisers! I found it was fantastic after a day in the sun. The smell is amazing if you like the smell of watermelon and a little of this goes a long way, the only problem I had is that it’s in a tub and I would have preferred a tube or bottle for hygiene reasons.

Thanks for another absolute winner from BR. I've tried most of the Garnier Superfood Haircare range so was super excited to try the bodycare range.

I love the distinctive tubs these products come in - they're not full of nasties ((96% natural ingredients!), and they smell so delicious.

The watermelon one is fairly true to it's true scent - it's not too overly sweet or overpowering, and lingers nicely. The best thing of all is how quick this one absorbs into the skin. It promises 48hr hydration, and although I've been using it daily, I feel like it would be still nice and hydrating after a full day. I noticed after a day out in the garden that when my skin warmed up I could get the occasional whiff of watermelon which was so nice.

I prefer to use it after a shower or bath to make the most of soft skin - a little goes a long way, and with the quick absorption, you don't have to wait around for ages before getting dressed.

It's a great price point - the perfect size for sitting on the bathroom shelf, and is stackable (more flavours here I come!)

So first thing I have to say about this as you can tell from the title…It. Smells. Amaaazzinggg!! You know when you get a watermelon scented anything and theirs a very light hint of smell? This is like a big sweet watermelon bang of smell opening the jar. Sooo good. Worth mentioning my skin can be sensitive but the fragrance didn’t irritate my at all, not even a slight sting which is a normal reaction from some moisturisers I’ve tried in the past. It has hyaluronic a lucid in it which is great for holding moisture in the skin. The tub is huge, such a generous size and the product is light and a little goes a long way and it is slightly gel like and has a lot of slip I guess (there’s a word for that I can’t think of right now, high viscosity maybe haha) As a dry skin sufferer I’m used to heavy oily thick moisturisers and this is light fresh and non greasy. So it’s a huge change from my usual. I did find I needed to apply daily although it states it hydrated for 48hours but it’s worth mentioning I get very dry skin…it’s probably still working deep down inside my skin layers. It absorbs into the skin fully in a few minutes and leaves it fresh feeling and soft…did I mention the smell? So good. This tub is going to last me a long time and I’ll definitely be purchasing and trying the others in the range I’m really impressed with it. Definitely recommend trying and so keen to continue using throughout summer.

Well well, i kind of fell in love with it the first time i opened the lid. The gel was slightly creamy looking and had a very delicate touch of pink. It’s scent was very subtle like natural. It had an appearance that looked so much like yogurt. No wonder they had a do not eat sign on it. It’s texture was surprisingly light and extremely spreadable. I felt like dipping my fingers in again and again. It was fun.

It comes in a decent sized tub container like the Garnier hairfood. The light, soft texture was amazing. It smooths off into a thin layer after spreading so don’t need a lot to cover. A little goes a long way. The gel cream has a slightly cool texture which makes it perfect for the summer season. My skin absorbed it nice and quickly. No greasy nor overly sticky feeling.

It states on the container it hydrates skin up to 10 layers deep, so will see whether my skin improves after a longer term use. It also states that it is fast absorbing and it’s exactly right. This is perfect for your quick after shower-before bed routine as it just sinks in. Gives your skin a quick drink of hydration when you need it.

Looking forward to trying the repair butter tub.

The Garnier Body Superfood Watermelon and Hyaluronic Acid gel-cream smells really amazing, just like sweet, juicy watermelon. It feels like a drink for my skin, very hydrating. The only thing I’m not happy about is the after feel on my hands; it’s almost like a waxy texture and I don’t like the feel of it, I need to wash my hands after each use. It doesn’t feel that way on my body so I’m happy with how hydrating it is and it soaks in well. I’m not sure if I’d use it again due to the funny feeling on my hands. I love that it’s cruelty free and vegan.

The tub size of 380ml and in a resealable twist top tub is so great for me and great for travel! That was one of the first things that made me really like the product. Second thing that really struck out for me was how great the product glided on and remained on for the entire day! I came home after work and my skin was still smooth. Definitely hydrating as they advertise! The product washes off nicely in the shower and I didn't have any residue as some other hyaluronic acid products do. The scent was really nice and subtle which I preferred.

My only critic would be how sticky the product is when applying - I did not really like how sticky my hands and fingers felt after applying.

Other than that, I would absolutely be buying this again as a body lotion! I love how smooth this product makes my skin and the scent is not too overbearing. The tub size and twist cap was a massive selling point for me as for travel this would come in handy!

This gel cream body moisturiser is packaged the same as the Hair Food tubs that are classic garnier now. I love the gel cream, it’s lighter than a standard cream, less greasy feeling. It really does hydrate! It is a little sticky for about 20 minutes after applying but maybe I was too generous with the amount. After that though it’s amazing! The only issue I have with it is the scent, it’s too sickly sweet for my taste, that’s the only reason I probably wouldn’t buy again, if it were more neutral I definitely would!

This comes in a big tub, just like the hair food. Upon opening, the scent of watermelon is quite strong but it does die down on the skin. The formula is a pink gel cream, that goes on easily and absorbs really quickly. It’s ideal for using in warmer months as you can get dressed straight away and it doesn’t feel sticky.

I was initially attracted to this particular variety as it contains hyaluronic acid, an ingredient I love in skincare. My skin does feel hydrated but as for those “48h hydrating” claims? Well I shower every day so I can’t say if it hydrates for that long. It does leave my skin feeling hydrated all day and it felt even more so after a few uses. As for the other claim of “hydrate skin up to 10 layers deep”. I’m not sure that’s even scientifically possible.

Along with the bold claims, I’m also not a fan of the packaging. The texture is not so thick as to warrant it being in a tub. I feel a bottle or tube would be more hygienic and easy to store in the bathroom. Also the plastic the tub is made from is not easily recycled in my area. I think the tub is really just to fit into the branding for the superfoods range.

Overall this a good product that I enjoyed using. If you are looking for a gel cream for summer and love the smell of watermelon, then this is for you!
