Advantages: Smells great, works really well

Disadvantages: Expensive

I received this body puree as part of a gift from a friend, and as with the rest of the items I received, it's not something I would ever have bought for myself, as it's much more expensive than I can really justify for a body lotion of any type. It costs £2.90 for a little 60ml bottle, or £7.80 for a full-sized 250ml bottle.

It comes in a clear plastic bottle so you can always see how much you have left. It has a press-top dispenser on the top, which makes it much easier and more convenient to use, and really easy to control how much you use.

The puree is like a fairly thin gel type consistency, which feels very light, fresh and cooling on the skin. Because it's so thin it spreads really easily over the skin and a little goes a very long way. It has a smooth texture which feels silky as it glides over the skin, and it absorbs really easily leaving behind no greasiness or residue.

The effects this has on my skin are fantastic. First of all it's a great light moisturiser which leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated, without any of the heaviness and pore-clogging feeling that heavier lotions and creams can give. And secondly it has a very soothing action on the skin. It's great for applying to irritated or sore skin, and it calms it right down with it's cooling sensation. It makes a great after-sun and after-wax lotion as it soothes and clams any redness or irritation right down almost instantly.

The scent is gorgeous, a very fresh and uplifting fruity pink grapefruit scent, which is in no way artificial smelling or too strong. The scent stays on the skin all day too so you stay smelling fresh and sweet all day long!

This really is a fantastic body moisturiser, and really versatile too, I just wish it wasn't so expensive!

Summary: A fantastic light moisturiser for irritated skin
