Advantages: Lovely soft, smooth skin

Disadvantages: Not convinced of firming effects, expensive

This is not a product I ever would have thought of trying and I'm not sure how I came to own it but I do so I've been trying it out for the last few weeks and I actually quite like it. It costs £6.63 for a 400ml bottle in Boots, which I think is quite expensive for a body lotion.

The bottle it comes in looks pretty good and has a funny shape which makes it stand out from other bottles on the shelves. It has a flip top lid that makes it much easier and more convenient to use than screw top bottles, but it isn't see through so you can't easily see how much is left.

It's quite a runny white lotion with a really smooth texture. It doesn't have much of a scent to it really and I can barely notice the smell of it unless I really try, but when I do it just smells creamy with a slight fruitiness to it. It says on the front of the bottle that it has a new scent so I would have expected something more noticeable really.

It glides so easily over the skin which means that a little really does go along way with this lotion. It sinks into the skin almost instantly so it's not really necessary to massage it in, but doing so is supposed to help get the best out of the product and it's firming capabilities. It does feel nice massaging the skin with it on as it feels really smooth so my hands run easily and freely over the skin rather than dragging or pulling.

I do find it gives an instant firming feeling to my skin, not dramatic but definitely noticeable. It also leaves it feeling really soft and smooth and really well moisturised without any greasy feeling or residue left behind. I'm not convinced that it actually does genuinely firm the skin as the firming feeling wears off pretty soon after applying it and after using it for weeks my skin still doesn't feel any firmer, but it does feel much smoother.

Summary: A nice lotion but don't expect miracles
