Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Puree by The Body Shop

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all coping well with the Monday blues!~

I remember doing a post on body lotion some time back, click Here to view it

And today, I'm back with another body lotion!~

Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Puree by The Body Shop

Product Description,
A lightweight moisturiser that softens, smoothes and hydrates the skin. Leaves skin delicately scented with the decadent Japanese Cherry Blossom Fragrance

Unlike many other body lotions I've tried, this lotion is water-based.

PS. Yes I've pumped too much on the back of my hands!~ I guess I'm just too tired to think right!~

This is actually in like a gel consistency when you pump it out.

But when you start blend it into the skin, it actually slowly becomes more watery and water particles is then formed and it gets absorbed into the skin, leaving them feeling smooth without any sticky finish

My Thoughts,

From my experience

This was actually purchased by my sister, who doesn't like oily feeling on her.

I was really attracted to the scent and I started using it too!~

What I like about this product, It is very light weight and it is a water based moisturizer, once the moisturizer is absorb into your skin, it wouldn't leave like a layer of lotion like how other body lotion could.

Another thing that I really like is it's scent.

I don't really know how to describe the scent of it. I don't know how cherry blossom smell like, so I can't say it is the same or it reminds me of that scent.

But it is indeed a pleasant scent to have on, and I really like it.

What I don't like about this product, I don't see any effect/results of it moisturizing my skin.

There's this period of time(which isn't like a week or 2), I've been diligently applying this lotion every morning and night but my skin is still so dry. There doesn't seem to be any improvement in it at all.

I told my sister about it and she said the same thing too.

Which kind of disappointed the both of us.

I don't know if it is because my skin is really dry and this moisturizer is to light weighted for me.

I like using this product when I'm going out because the scent of this lotion is strong enough to wear as a light perfume and it stays on for a few hours!~

Would I recommend this? I don't think I would. If you're looking for something that smells nice, then it's alright to get this, but if you're looking for something that will moisturize you skin, I don't think this product does it at all.

Furthermore, this product isn't cheap either, I can maybe buy 2 bottles of vaseline body lotion with this price.

As much as I want to say save your money, I think it is really up to you to decide.

I don't think this product is worth the purchase unless you're buying it for it's scent only.

This retails for SGD$22.90 at our local The Body Shop stores.

Does anyone have a different opinion about this product?
