St Ives Body Lotion

I received this body lotion as part of a gift pack at Christmas, it definitely works well & sinks into my skin & lasts all day, not sticky. Also inexpensive, I will try the Skin Renewing one next time because the Oatmeal Shea has quite a distinctive smell which I don't like.

A good moisturiser, which is in a big bottle- which is definitely as a plus as it lasts for ages! I found this moisturiser takes a little while to absorb into my skin and seems slightly greasy.

These days I use Aveeno which is far superior - although this costs more its worth it for my sensitive skin.

This isn't my favourite nor is it the worst lotion I've used. I usually only buy this lotion when it is on special as it does moisturizes your skin but it just doesn't feel like it does much for me. I do like how you can get quantity for the price you pay. This product comes in different scents and different types for different measures of need for the customer. However, the product is runny and it doesn't absorb fast or easily compared to other brands I've used. Personally I buy it if its on special, but it nothing special in my opinion.

To be honest what made me buy the St Ives body lotion was the packaging. The oatmeal and Shea butter picture looked edible and well I just had to try it. The fragrance isn't amazing but it's not harsh. I use it mainly for my upper body as it doesn't help much on my legs (which are very dry)

I used to use this for years, and sometimes still buy it when I am grocery shopping. I loved the slight hints of scents it use to have, as it wasn't over powering. It used to leave my skin soft and moisturized. It was hydrating for the skin and didn't leave a greasy residue that some lotions do leave. It was worth the amount of product for the dollars $ side of it. You got your moneys worth, as it was so affordable. The packaging is simple but works fine with getting the product out with the pump on the top. However, when it gets low you have to take the pump off to get the rest of the product out, but that doesn't bother me. I usually do that with all my lotions bottle that have a pump lid.

I've used this off and on in the past, it's a great cost effective moisturiser that is easy to use with the pump dispenser.

I found it moisturised my body well, and smelled delicious too. The only thing is that it didn't moisturise my legs for the whole day, and needed reapplying.

I have had this moisturizer for so long and have only just used it up. Part of the reason I hadn't used it up fast enough was the pump.

The pump, is a genius idea, but the product is too thick. With each pump, I got less and less product on my hand, and I used about 4-5 pumps for my body. So that was annoying. And about 1/4 of the product was stuck in the bottom of the massive bottle, because the pump somehow pushed it away and made a well around itself, so the product wouldn't go up.

The smell, while not overpowering, got boring after a while. I'll admit it was nice at first but after using it everyday it got just... boring. Nothing was exciting enough for me to want to write home about it, and nothing will make me remember how amazing it was.

I will say though, it absorbed really quickly and that's always a plus. Otherwise, I don't see myself repurchasing this product, which is a shame. Maybe a different smell would be better? Or perhaps this stuff just isn't for me :-)

Love how these smell, but they don't moisturise my skin well. They can be quite liquid-y in consistency, and the pump-bottle mean that I seem to leave quite a lot of product behind in the bottle. The pricing is good and I end up going back to this in the warmer months when I don't need as much hydration.

I started using this brand of moisturiser when I was 18 and have done so until a couple of years ago. This moisturiser is great value for money and lasts a very long time. A great quick fix for dry skin, used mostly on my legs so cannot comment on other parts of the body. I have sensitive skin so using this straight after shaving my legs did not cause a reaction. After being more adventurous with my moisturisers I would say it is a product that moisturisers but doesn't really have the x factor.

It's ok for a lotion and basically when I bought this I was like its gonna smell nice and it did a little but sometimes I got sick of the smell to be honest. It was a good moisturising lotion for the price and I wouldn't of used it but I bought it so I just used it all up and never got it again. But it's good for $10 and another lotion around the same would be nivea body lotion.
