I regularly buy Dove products and have always been happy with my purchases; I also get quite a few products free from them.
I signed up to their website a few years ago and since then, they have always sent samples of their new products, they also send a small bottle of something for my birthday every year, which is a really nice gesture.

My latest sample is Dove Visible Effects body lotion. I received a 50 ml bottle, the standard size is 250 ml, so this is quite a generous amount compared to other samples and as such lasted me almost two weeks.

Visible Effects claims to moisturise skin up to 90% more than the leading brand. It has Multi Layer Complex, meaning that while most creams stay on the top layer of skin, Visible Effects works on all three layers.
Dove had added specific ingredients aimed at each layer, namely:

Top layer - Glycerol Quat, to prevent dryness by holding the moisture in.

Middle layer - Glycerin, to replenish with immediate and long lasting moisture.

Bottom layer - Hydroxy Ethyl Urea, to nourish the layer and give it the moisture it needs to help cells grow.

The cream itself is a soft white shade; it is an average consistency for a lotion and blends in really easily. I find that it glides over the skin and sinks in quickly, within around five minutes.

Your skin is left feeling very soft and nourished; I have to say that it is one of the best lotions I've tried (and I've tried a few!).
It really does soften the skin, and this is a lasting effect, not just an immediate one.
After using for around a fortnight, I've also noticed that my skin also seems a bit brighter and generally healthier in appearance. I'm impressed with this as I've only used it every 2-3 days so, had I used it everyday, I can imagine the effects being quite dramatic.

Visible Effects is good for 12 months after opening; although I can't imagine a bottle lasting for more than a couple of months as it is a really nice product and not one that will be thrown in the bottom of a drawer and forgotten about.

I am very happy with Dove Visible Effects and have continued to use it. It is now widely available, and costs around £4.99. I recently bought a bottle from a local outlet for £3.50 though, so you may be able to find it cheaper.
