1. The Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle was incredibly easy and quick to use which is exactly what I hoped. The first time I tried it, I would have preferred it to be thicker because some of the product slipped away down the plughole. However, I am now very used to the consistency and very happy with it
2. The product definitely made my skin feel softer and smoother but the feeling didn't last very long - certainly not all day so I ended up using body lotion later in the day.
3. I like the scent because it's quite fresh and definitely not over-powering nor too sweet but the scent only lasted a few hours and I would have preferred it to last longer
4. I would definitely purchase the product and definitely recommend it. However, if someone has very dry skin I would also recommend that they combine it with using a body lotion or body butter later in the day.

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

I was very surprised with how quick and easy it was to use. It just glides on with the water. Very much preferable to standard body lotion which I often find difficult to rub in.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

My skin certainly feels lovely and soft once it has dried.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

The scent is the best thing about this. My husband asked if I had a new perfume. It disappears after a few hours but it is beautiful.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

Definitely, I gave the two free samples to my mum as she uses a lot of body lotion. She said she would be buying more and so will I. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of this product test!

I was very surprised to find I loved it! I rarely moisturiser my body as it's too time consuming and I dislike the feel when it doesn't absorb straight away. Smell is a luxury Sanctuary scent and usually lasts until bedtime.
I will definitely buy it again. The only downside for me is the texture, it's too runny, which doesn't seem necessary when applying to wet skin.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

I found it easy to apply and the packaging was user friendly with wet hands! The product itself was a little light/runny but not too bad. A lot lighter and less greasy than the traditional/classic sanctuary body butter/ lotion.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

I thought there was a noticeable difference, and felt softer and hydrated after using it.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I really liked the scent and thought it was just about right. Any more would be a bit overpowering!

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

At the right price, yes! And I'd certainly recommend it ;)

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to trial it!

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

It was very quick and easy, just slapped it on after my shower.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

Very soft and smooth.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

It smelt lovely and lasted all day.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

I would but it and recommended it

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

Really easy. By the time I've finished showering my 10 month old is usually really fed up and wanting picked up - so I have no time to moisturise! This was so quick and easy to apply I've used it every day since it arrived. My skin is very grateful!

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

I don't have hugely dry skin for the most part, except my legs. I've noticed a small difference to the dry areas, but they really need something more intensive. The rest of my skin feels lovely and soft though, I've noticed a real difference.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I did like it. It was a bit strong at first but settled nicely and left me smelling fresh but not overly scented.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

Absolutely yes to both. I took it on holiday and my mum and sister both had a go, they are both always in a rush and loved it too.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

very easy, and not much is needed per application so a tube should last for a while

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

it felt a little softer but not dramatically so. there were a couple of days when I haven't used it this week and my skin feels no different to before I used it. maybe with ongoing use it will become consistently softer.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I found the scent reasonably pleasant but a bit 'older lady'. the scent lasted all day on my arms but faded on my chest during the day.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

I would probably recommend it, but personally I don't think I will buy anymore for myself.

1. Really easy to use. Literally about a minute at the end of your shower to apply all over your body.

1. I found it made a huge difference to my skin, it feels much softer and smoother already.

1. I love the Sanctuary scent. I think it is very distinctive and I think it is quite long lasting so you get the benefit of the scent for a big chunk of the day.

1. I would definitely recommend it, it does exactly what it claims to do at a good price too.

1. I found it very easy to use. I don't get much time in the shower, and it took less than 30 seconds to moisturise my whole body!

1. My skin did feel softer and look better after using the product.

1. I wasn't keen on the sanctuary scent when I smelt the tube, but it didn't smell as strong when applied.

1. I would definitely buy this product. It made it possible for me to take care of my skin easily and quickly. Thank you Boots and Mumsnet for introducing me to a great product!

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

Very easy to use- slapped on quickly straight after shower, then continued as normal. Liked the fact if it was thin- find traditional body lotions too gloopy/ sticky.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product

Felt moisturised and smooth, legs especially. Have sensitive skin so was worried about reaction but was fine.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I like the scent a lot but don't love it on me. As I choose products on scent this would make a difference. I felt it lasted longer than other products I use.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

Sorry pressed send too soon. I might buy the product again, especially for holiday times when I want to be moisturised. If there were options on scent including one I loved I would definitely buy again. So easy to use.

I loved how easy and faff free this product was to use.

My skin felt smooth and soft afterwards.

I loved the smell and it lasted on my skin.

I may purchase in the future the thing that would put me off is that it doesn't last very long, I'm almost finished with the tube already.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?

It takes about 30 seconds when I'm still in the shower cubicle and sinks in straight away so I can towel dry as soon as I step out.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

I don't have particularly dry skin but it did feel nice after use.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I love the Sanctuary smell and it lasted quite a while. Actually though, this puts me off using it everyday as it would clash with my perfume. I prefer something with more of a creamy smell for everyday use (Shea butter for example).

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?

I would definitely purchase it again as it feels like a little treat and is so easy. I usually end up throwing away the body lotion in gift sets as it is too much faff and takes ages to be able to put your clothes on. This was a refreshing change and I would definitely recommend it.

How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?
It was super quick! Definitely less than a minute to do my whole body! So handy being able to use it in the shower.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?Really soft especially my arms/ elbows they were super smooth.
2. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?

I really liked the scent, it wasn't overpowering but lasted a good few hours

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?Yes I would, i think it has definitely made a difference to my skin and has now just become part of my shower routine.

1. Very quick and easy to use, good texture and great if you're in a hurry.
2. So soft I keep stroking my skin!
3. Lovely Sanctuary scent which lasts well, have had compliments!
4. Yes and I have!

Thank you for letting me try this.

1. It was very quick and easy to apply and I liked the fact that I didn't have to wait for a lotion to sink in before getting dressed.
2. Skin felt really soft, my arms still felt soft later in the day but the skin on my legs is much drier and the shins needed a bit of a top up with lotion later.
3. The smell is divine, recognisably Sanctuary and I loved the fact that the smell lasted on my arms, couldn't resist having a sniff of my forearms during the day.
4. I would recommend it and would buy it again

1. it was really easy to use. I neglect body moisturiser but being able to put it on wet is making me use it everyday. Plus it absorbs when you dry so doesn't leave a residue meaning you can dress straight away.

2. my skin felt really smooth and nourished. It kept my skin smooth enough to use granular tan on it when it was dry without patchiness when fading.

3. I really enjoy the sent. It lasts most of the day and makes my towel smell really good too.

4. I will definitely be purchasing. It does run out quite quick because it's a thin consistency but worth the purchase

Omg so easy to use I'm a mum who never gets time to moisturise so to have it in the bathroom and pop it straight on is amazing. It's easy to use and smells lush.

My skin felt lovely and soft so much so my girls even mentioned it and you don't get that sticky thick greasy feeling that some moisturisers give.

As I've already written it smells absolutely amazing and lasts for hours which is amazing especially in this weather when I'm hot and bothered.

Yep definitely and already expanding my sanctuary product collection (small ATM) but will get bigger if all products are like this.

Very quick and super easy to use.

Post sun exposed skin felt much, much softer, great improvement.

Love the sent, not the same as original scent but still very pleasant.

Yes, I would buy this. Even my teen DD liked using it and is pestering me to buy it.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use? It was fairly easy to use however I was unsure as to how much I should put on with my skin still being wet. It felt like I may have been putting too much on and then taking it off with the towel afterwards.
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?

It felt soft and smooth on the days that I used it but I don't feel as though my skin is softer from using it regularly.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin? I love the smell. It lasted for around half a day.
2. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? I would recommend it to someone looking for a wet skin moisturiser although I don't think that I would buy it for myself again as it's a bit too expensive.

I really loved this, I have sensitive skin but had no reaction, and it has the Sanctuary scent I have loved for years. My skin felt amazing and the smell did last a long time, I even had comments at work!

One thing though. The whole idea of putting it on when my skin was still soaking wet from the shower was a bit alien. I forgot a few times and dried off, so had to go without, which was a bit annoying!! And I wasn't sure if I was putting enough or too much on - it seems like I was using less than I would of a moisturiser normally and still seemed to do the job, so that's a bonus!

I would definitely buy this product, I love the smell and how my soft my skin feels, no dry patches on my arms from the sun. Normally I don't have time to moisturise and have loads of unused bottles in my bathroom, this will not be one of then!!

Update - I've been using this now solidly for a couple of weeks, and I take back my comment about it not being able to cope with my lizard-like lower legs. The dry skin has completely gone.

I guess it's all about getting into the habit of applying daily - and it's no hardship because it's so easy to do. I shall definitely buy this again.

I loved that it was so quick and easy to use. Skin was soft but not noticeably more than usual. The scent though was awful. A really strong, old-fashioned floral scent which overpowered everything and lasted all day. It's a shame because I love the in-shower aspect of it but I wouldn't buy again due to the smell.

Sorry I'm late to the thread, I was on holiday when my product arrived!
I have now used it each time I've showered, and I love it.
It is very quick and easy to use. Much more so than regular 'dry skin' moisturisers.
My skin definitely felt smoother and softer after use.
I love the scent, it reminds me of Dune by Christian Dior. I love that scent! It lasted well too.
I would buy and recommend this product.

As others have said, I think a fresher, maybe citrus scent would be very popular.

Thank you, this has been a pleasure to test 😊
