Advantages: Fresh fragrance and feel

Disadvantages: Didn't soothe my legs and was a little greasy

I am always keen to buy and try different potions and lotions (as long as they don't irritate my skin, which can happen if I am not careful enough!!).

I have used vaseline before, and love their body moisturiser lotion. It really does stop your skin from drying out and is absorbed really well.

The bottle cost me £1.98 from Tesco, but it was on offer at the time.

I decided to buy this lotion for the feet and legs as:
1. I normally do not buy seperate lotions for my legs and feet and the only one I had is a pot of cream that I purchased from Poundland (and that didn't work) and so I thought it was about time I did!
2. It was coming up to the nice weather and I had to treat my feet and legs in someway as they are covered up normally 10 months out of the year! They needed a bit of sprucing up.

The lotion is in a light green bottle and has a distinctive shape to the bottle where it nips in at the 'waist'. It is easy to hold the bottle and the cap is a flip cap, which is easy to open.

I think the first thing you may notice when you open the bottle is the fresh, cool, minty smell that emerges from when you open the lid. Even saying that, the odour is not overpowering.

The lotion is a little runny. When you tip the bottle over to obtain some lotion, don't squeeze too hard, as you may get more lotion than what you bargained for!!

When I first applied the lotion I found that it didn't absorb as well as the moisturiser that I normally use from Vaseline. I found that it sort of lingered on my skin for a good 5 minutes or so before absorbing properly. It felt a little greasy.

I kept using the lotion every night for about a week, but I didn't notice what it was supposed to be doing!!! It does state that it can 'help soothe those tired legs of yours', but my legs were still tired!!

I have to admit that I stopped using it after the first week and just kept moisturising as normal.

It did have a nice fresh fragrance to it, but I would not purchase it again. It is now retired to the back of the bathroom cupboard!

Summary: Use your normal moisturiser instead of buying this one
