Advantages: smells amazing - soaks in lovely

Disadvantages: expensive

Good enough to eat Palmers Cocoa butter formula comes in at a not cheap £3.19 from Boots (not sure of the price elsewhere)For this price you get 250mls of pure indulgence! In fact you feel like licking it off your hands as it smells like creamy vanilla with a huge hint of chocolate tones! The smell can last most of the day and makes you feel all warm inside (can even help to cheer up the winter blues)! Though I say all this the main purpose of this product is not it's smell, it is its moisturising properties!

Loaded with vitamin E you can already sense that this is a good moisturising product! But of course many products claim to be loaded with vitamin so does it really work on the skin?.......

The answer is, from my experience - YES indeed it works! I decided to buy this product on recommendation from a friend when I was pregnant! As many will know when pregnant the baby takes all the good nutrients - vitamin E being one of the nutrients that are sucked from your body! I bought it even though I was quite miffed by the price - but I also had heard that it can help to prevent large stretch marks so I decided this was the price I had to pay and by golly I havn't one stretch mark except on my chest where I hardly applied the cream when pregnant. There is a Palmers stretch mark cream which is much more expensive at around £4.50 for the same sized bottle! I would recommend just sticking to the cocoa butter formula - well it worked for me!

<<<<<<Toning properties>>>>>

As I have mentioned before this product has properties which stop stretch marks occuring - this means it tones the skin and gives the skin more elasticity and you can actually feel the skin toning after just a couple of weeks (we can't get results like that in days without surgery)! It even helps even out the skin and after a longer while hides scars slightly! AMAZING!!!

.......<<<< DOWNSIDES >>>>.........

Of course as with everything there are the downsides.

<<<<<< Buy tub not bottle >>>>>>

The bottle of this product is most irritating as you can never actually get all of the product out - I ended up cutting open the bottle as I didn't want to waste a drop of this wonderous product - but I wouldn't recommened this way of doing things as the bottle is sharp when cut DOH! So I would recommend buying the tub in which you can grab every last drop of this delightful smelling product! Even the price isn't really a disadvantage really considering a 250ml bottle lasted me around a month!

This stuff really is amazing in comparison with any other moisturiser (even the mega expensive ones)!

Let me summerize...>>>>>

> Amazing toning properties

> Not too greasy after a couple of minutes _ best time to apply is after a bath

>Buy the tub not the bottle you don't miss out on any bits of cream then

> Full of moisturising vitamin E

> worth every penny

> Amazing - long lasting smell

>>>>>> NOW JUST GO TRY IT YOURSELF <<<<<<<<<<

Summary: Soaks in well, The most amazingly smelling cream ever, good for aftersun
