Hydrating Body Lotion Reviews

I purchased the Sukin Hydrating Body Lotion in a 250 ml bottle as I love the natural ingredients, have been using the cream facial cleanser for years and wanted to see if the body lotion could cope with my ridiculously dry winter skin.

The bottle itself is a handy size with a pump top. The pump on mine was faulty and after twenty minutes of shaking and pressing down, I found the only way to get some product out of the pump was by loosening the lid so it wasn't completely closed. It was a frustrating experience. However, after the initial drama, the pump worked fine.

The lovely list of natural oils on the packaging is a sight for sore eyes. They include sesame seed oil, rose hip oil, cocoa seed butter, shea butter, jojoba seed oil, avocado oil, wheatgerm oil, horsetail, burdock, nettle, tangerine peel oil, mandarin peel oil, and so on. Predictably, the scent is a bit of a hybrid - a mixture of citrus, lavender and vanilla. I quite liked it, and it remained as a skin scent until I washed again.

The lotion itself has a free flowing, light consistency, and I found it quickly absorbed into the skin. It left my skin feeling very soft, and this effect lasted beyond the first wash. It did not leave any residue on my skin, which is nice for summer, but in winter I do like a protective layer to shield me against the cold and the elements. Once my skin becomes scaly, this lotion is not strong enough to turn the damage around.

The nice thing about this body lotion is that it also works fine for a hand cream. In my job as a typist I need something that I can reapply frequently and will sink into the skin quickly. The lotion leaves my hands feeling silky, even after one wash, so it's perfect.

This body lotion is perfect for everyday use. It doesn't feel greasy, it absorbs quickly, my skin feels hydrated and nourished, and glows after I apply it.

I love knowing that this brand is ethically aligned and does not use any harsh ingredients. This lotion is packed with goodies and my skin is thanking me for it. I suffer from Keratosis Pilaris in some areas, but after a gentle exfoliation in the shower and a few pumps of this lotion, I feel so soft.

I've been using this lotion twice a day for a week and I will definitely be repurchasing it.

This body lotion is really nice. It has a light, uplifting scent that can't really be described.

It's packed full of moisture which is amazing for dry skin types. I like to use this on my legs after shaving, it makes them feel soft and smooth.

I love how affordable the product is, and how long the bottle is lasting so far. This is something I definitely want to always have in my cupboard for when my skin is feeling extra dry.

I am sure that this body lotion is great for some people. But for me personally, I found it excited to get excited about this product.

A great Australian and ethical brand who on the whole create no-fuss, easy to use and gentle products delivered on what they say for this product; it is hydrating and rapidly absorbed. It is a light weight lotion and almost milky in its viscosity. When I massaged it into my legs after a shower, other than the slightly waxy/herby perfume left behind, I barely noticed I had just moisturized my legs. I didn’t really notice any particular improvement in my skin, nor anything that a cheaper or more generic brand of body lotion could have provided.

I tend to get dry skin on my legs, especially after I shower, so my preference is that my body lotions/body moisturisers have a little bit more weight and oomph to them. Maybe 10 years ago, and my skin was a bit different, I would have considered this the right product for me as I used to prefer much lighter products.

This is my go to body moisturizer. It is non greasy and soaks into the skin with ease. I love how there are no nasty chemicals in it. I have been using this product for many years. I have tried many other brands but I always keep coming back to this one.
It is great on my very sensitive skin. I find this product to be better than the sensitive skin version. My skin tends to get a slight reaction to it and I don't find it as hydrating.
It is a great all over body moisturizer. I use it head to toe. It is great after I have shaved my legs and I use it all over the rest of my body too. It does not clog my pores or cause breakouts on my shoulders like other brands. I love the scent and the fact that it is all from natural ingredients. I find this product very soothing and I feel confident that my skin is absorbing all those lovely nutrients and natural oils without any chemicals. I feel my skin really benefits from it. I will keep buying this product for years and recommend it to anyone. Even my boyfriend loves it!

The fragrance of this lotion is subtle, sweet and with dashes of natural ingredients. It comes of the bottle by being pumped out, which is quite hygienic and easy to use. However, its hard to get the remaining lotion at the bottle.

Skin feels slightly softer, but a tiny bit greasy. The smell is nice, and very relaxing, perfect for applying just before bedtime!

I have quite thick skin, so to have it penetrate my skin and make it softer is already great!

I love this product! Perfect for applying after shower to help prolong tan and doesn't leave an oily residue on skin, the only thing I didn't like is the time it takes to absorb into skin due to having a bit of a watery texture but leaves your skin feeling so soft and hydrated !

I love that this is a natural product that is still very affordable. It's non greasy, doesn't leave any powder/residue, sinks in quickly and smells beautifully herbal.

I'll use this after showering and I won't have to worry about standing around waiting for ages until I can get dressed or getting moisturiser stuck to my clothes.

The ingredients are great, lots of natural oils and plants. Come morning I have lovely soft and supple skin. I'll be sure to repurchase once my bottle is empty. I'm definitely a fan!

I have been using Nivea body lotion and Dove Silky for quite some time and wanted to try something without too many synthetic ingredients and see if it really does make a difference. I picked this product because of the affordability. I use body lotion very liberally and often twice a day, so I run out of body lotion/cream very quickly.

The product is a white lotion comes in a pump bottle. I prefer pump packaging for body lotion over tub/jar because of the convenience, although it can be quite painful to get the last bit out of a pump bottle. After the reviewers here commented on the "lovely" (etc.) scent here I was actually quite surprised when I smell this product - the scent is not unpleasant, but it is barely noticeable and for me it smells like a fresh ream of A4 paper, which i don't mind. However, considering the plant oils and extracts used in this product I was really surprised that it does not smell any more "green".

The lotion is not the easiler to smooth only skin. I have to use a bit of effort to rub it into my skin but once it is spread out it is very quickly absorbed, without stickiness. I can get dressed to work very quickly.

This lotion may be good to use in summer. However, I do not find this lotion moisturising enough, especially now that the weather is turning cooler. I often feel like I needed another layer after a few hours. My skin does get itchy if it is too dry, and on a number of occasions, my skin is itchy by lunch time (i.e. after approximately 4 hours), and I had to layer on another moisturiser to cure the dryness.

Overall, I am impressed at the ingredients that they use given the low price, but I will only re-purchase this product for use in Summer. It is great for people with oilier skin, but in my opinion not suitable for dry skin type.
