Garnier Intensive 7 Days Shea Butter Body Lotion Review

The Garnier Intensive 7 Days Shea Butter Body Lotion costs £2.99 and is quite a great body lotion. Though it does have an awkward uncomfortable stickiness (or greasiness) to it when you apply it to your skin. This goes away after a while. The moisturiser does work when using it for a couple of days, it has helped my skin feel moister and way less dry.

Performance and Efficacy

I found this to have a bit of a sticky residue on the skin after application; the residue does subside after around 20 minutes of application but it's generally not something you want to feel after using a body lotion. However, I found that it's also a super easy lotion to apply onto the skin though it is quite runny which viscosity would've provided a more money saving aspect to this as you'd need to use less.

The scent of the product is quite strong so you just have to endure it while applying it. I did find that my skin felt much softer days after using this especially as my skin is usually quite dry. I also didn't find any adverse reactions to this product while using it but I still recommend doing a patch test if it's your first time using it just to be sure (it's better to be safe than sorry).

I would say that with how you get from the product 400ml it lasts quite a while despite its runniness. Especially at the price it's practically a bargain and I've found myself using this when my body butters run out as a go-to for smoothing my skin.

Conclusion

At just £2.99 for 400ml, the Garnier Intensive 7 Days Shea Butter Body Lotion is an amazingly budget product for dry skin. I found that the runny texture does make it quick to spread despite needing to use more. Though the initial stickiness/greasiness is noticeable; it subsides after around 20 minutes and leaves your skin feeling softer and more comfortable after using it for a few days. The strong scent isn't really a great thing with this and I suggest doing a patch test to make sure that you're not allergic or have a bad reaction to anything in the product.
