I love how this body cream is chock full of good for you ingredients! In addition to providing deep hydration, this product contains ingredients with multi-tasking properties which contribute to your skin’s overall health, texture and elasticity. Though I usually stray away from products containing fragrance, I must say that this body cream smells absolutely delightful! I often find that products that are creamier in nature take longer to absorb but this is not the case with this body cream as it absorbs in seconds! I have not had an adverse reaction when using this body cream. Definitely reach for this body lotion if you want to walk around feeling and smelling amazing!

Nothing! I have used this product for years and I have nothing bad to say!

Overall Thoughts: I have been using this body lotion for years now! I love how lightweight this formula is as well as how easily it absorbs. I have tried other body lotions on the market, but I often find myself coming back to this product because I don’t care for heavily formulated products that leave my skin feeling sticky and greasy after application. Due in part to its fragrance-free and relatively simple formation, I have not had an adverse reaction in all my years of use. This product keeps my skin feeling smooth and moisturized! Another benefit is that a little goes a long way! One bottle of this lotion always lasts me a good few months even with daily use! This product is definitely an oldie but a goodie!

Overall Thoughts:
I love how hydrated and refreshed my skin feels after using this facial mist! Since my skin tends to be dry and dehydrated in the colder months, this facial mist is really a game changer. I usually apply this mist after cleansing my face in the morning and evening in preparation for the rest of my skincare routine. So far, I have not had any adverse reaction to this product! I appreciate that this product has a very light, pleasant natural rose fragrance. I feel like the exclusion of artificial fragrances really made a difference because I prefer products intended for facial use not to have a strong or overpowering scent profile. One of the benefits of this product is that it is not limited to facial use! You can use this for your neck and hair as well!
