I bought this product just before christmas and have nearly made my way through the bottle. For me, when it comes to moisturising my body I quite lazy at it so in the past I've ended up with areas of dry skin, especially from shaving my legs.
I think the main reason why I've never been able to get into moisturising before was it just takes so much time and I don't want to be spending loads of time each day just moisturising.
The main things that caught my attention from with the Garnier Intensive 7 Days Soothing Gel-Cream is that it claims that it "absorbs instantly" and "skin feels intensely hydrated for up to 7 days", which for me is great as it means that I only need to apply it a couple of times a week.
My first impressions was that it smells nice (a sort of floral-peachy smell) and I really liked the gel-cream formula. it spreads really well and doesn't feel too thick and gloopy or too thin and watery, also its not greasy or sticky.
I find that it soaks in really quickly like it claims (well maybe not quite instantly, but it cuts down that annoying wait between applying a moisturiser and being able to get clothes on without it being stuck to everything). I also would agree with their claim of it lasting for a few days. I don't really have overly dry skin, so I find that in most areas I only really use it once a week, but I have found it great to use after shaving my legs (which dries out my skin a lot).
Throughout my holiday I was regretting not bringing this a long with me. I found that all the aftersun creams did nothing for my skin, e45 didn't feel great on my sunburn and my skin still felt quite dry, so I ended up having to use my face night cream on my areas of skin where I got sunburnt just to try and keep some moisture in it. After coming back I slapped this on and my skin feels great again.
It's a pretty inexpensive product at around £4.99 for 400ml (or £2.99 for 250ml), and a little goes quite a long way.
Bottom Line
Would I purchase this again? Yes!
Would I recommend to a friend? Absolutely!Massive thumbs up for Garnier Intensive 7 Days Soothing Gel-Cream!
