I often receive free samples from companies wanting to encourage custom through testers being sent out.

I have had a few samples from Dove and they are always of a generous size which I feel allows sufficient usage for me (as the consumer) to gain real benefit from using the product, meaning I know that I want to purchase it.

The sample I received most recently was 50ml in size and in a minature sturdy bottle. I have been carrying it around with me for a few weeks and using it to moisturise as and when, and have found it more than adequate for the job. The texture is smooth but takes a little while to absorb into my skin (which is usually defined as being 'normal').

There is a scent which can be attached to the product which is pleasant not too over-powering, but is noticeable.

*INGREDIENTS*

Aqua, Glycerin, Dihydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Isopropyl Myristate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Tapioca Starch, PEG-100 Stearate, Dimethicone, Triethyl Citrate, Hydroxyethyl Urea, amongst many others.

*PACKAGING*

Bearing in mind that this is a product test/trial the packaging is very tough, sturdy and ideal for a stardard everyday situation where the product is used regularly or from time-to-time, or even if someone wished to take the product with them and needed it to be portable.

*PRICE*

I am unsure of any accurate pricing on this product as I have not seen it in the shops yet, but am lookiing for ward to it because I am interested in buying more of the product.

*Recommended?*

I guess it would depend entirely on price as to whether I would purchase this product as a full-size product, because while I do like it and have been using it regularly and am happy with the results - there is a limit with how much I would be prepared to spend on the product because I believe there are no shortage of great moisturisers available - and in all shapes/sizes which should allow easy transportation and long-lasting packaging.

It is for this reason I have provided the product with 4 stars because it does the job and I would use/buy it again, but the price will influence my decision to do so.
