Garnier Body Superfood Cocoa & Ceramide

I absolutely love Garnier Hairfood so when I saw a trial for the new Superfood body butter I was super excited! As soon as this arrived on my doorstep I ripped into it and started using it immediately.

It comes in the same packaging as the Hairfood....a huge tub which resembles a yoghurt pottle. Now my pet peeve with this is there was no protective cover on the top and the lid can easily be opened as it doesn't have a seal you need to crack. So anyone could open it in the supermarket and stick their dirty fingers in which is just icky.

It is a thick consistency and the scent for me is just ok. It's definitely not a really nice cocoa smell like others I have tried. It says 48 hours hydration and fast absorbing.  It does rub in well and make my skin feel nice however it doesn't blow me away!

I feel like I have used much better body butters and this just doesn't hit the mark for me. The scent is also a big let down. I would be interested to see what the rest of the range smells like. For me this is just a bit average.

I have quite dry skin especially in the summer months and this was a great way of combatting that. The product is easy to use, absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling great for hours afterwards.

I like that it's natural and the company don't test on animals as well. The smell is also great and I'd be keen to try the other options available. I will definitely be repurchasing.

When this arrived my kids were so excited to open it up! They called me from work to tell me about the smell and the feel and immediately launched into using it. We have subsequently all been fighting to have a go. It smells amazing, the package is huge and the texture is so soft and buttery. I have really dry skin and it has cured that on my skin! I have ditched all my other moisturisers for your body and am solely using this. I have noticed a massive difference in my shins and elbows. I think this will become our family staple. The big packaging means I don’t mind too much sharing with the girls!

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.

Was excited to see a body butter range being released from Garnier. Generous sized tub, this is going to last me a few months. Not too fussed on the scent. The formula is more a thickened cream, not like a traditional butter that is more solid.

Feels great on the skin and keeps skin hydrated and moisturised. Don't like it as much as I thought I would. Still a worthwhile purchase. I like what the company represents and the product works well enough that I would consider repurchasing if needed.

this smells so good and yummy like chocolate, but also is a great body butter that is so smooth and not harsh on your skin at all.

Wow, this stuff is AMAZING! I totally love it and it’s my new favourite. It definitely does what it says it will and takes away all the dryness on my legs, arms and elbows! Love the smell and the feeling it leave's.

Loved trialling the repairing butter. I applied it straight out of the shower and it absorbed super quick into my skin. It smells delicious but not over powering, the smell also lasted. I loved that it was not greasy or sticky and hours later my skin was still soft. I will definitely be purchasing again.

Packaging: love the extra large tub! It’s a generous amount of product and you can scoop out plenty for your whole body.

Scent: lovely cocoa/coconut smell. Not at all over powering (eg Sol De Janeiro) but I still got an occasional waft of fragrance through the day

Product: a thick moisturiser somewhere between body butter and cream consistency. It took a bit of effort to rub in but I personally am reassured by that - it felt like I was pushing it into my skin rather than it just sitting on the surface. I would t say the hydration lasts 48 hours - only 12 at the most. But with the warm weather over the last week I felt confident to go out with bare legs after using this.
