Here's my feedback:

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

Very easy to use! I'm terrible at remembering to use body lotion, and I find it such a chore, but this was simple. I've used it every single day since receiving the tube. Wet skin made it a really quick job to distribute and rub in. The lotion was quite thin, though, and a couple of times I dispensed too much as it ran out of the tube too quickly.

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

Lovely and soft, with a slight sheen to it. Although it struggled to keep my scaly lower legs moisturised all day - they were starting to dry out by the evening.

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

Yes, I adore it, that was one of the reasons I was keen to try the lotion. It lasted on my skin for several hours; in the morning I kept getting little wafts of it - lovely!

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

Yes, I think I will, if the price is reasonable.

Just one other point, I normally use the same towel to dry my body and my hair, but once all that oily residue was on my towel I really wasn't keen to use it on my freshly washed hair, so I had to use a seperate one. Not a major issue, though.

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

So easy, just as the paperwork described.

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

Very smooth and moisturised, I was able to get dressed straight away.

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

I love the Sanctuary scent, but I would have liked it to last longer.

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

Yes definitely! I love it. I don't have time for applying cream but this is so quick I can manage it. Thank You!

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

Incredibly quick and easy. Never bother with normal moisturiser but I did with this as the application was faff-free.

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

Fairly soft, more so than normal.

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

I did like the scent but didn't think it lasted long. This, however, is a good thing imo as smells bother me.

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

Yes to both. My only problem with it is that I get cold standing in the shower with the water switched off, so I'd be less likely to use it in the winter which is when I probably need it the most.

Tester:

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

Really quick and easy to use. I kept it next to the bath so I would remember to use it right away. It is not as thick as other moisturisers but it's wasn't too runny. It gets absorbed quickly and there was no mess or anything once it's been applied. After a few minutes I could get dressed as usual.

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

I have definitely noticed a difference, it's been a busy few weeks and I probably look so tired - I feel like my skin has been looked after which helps me look and feel better than if I hadn't used it, so it's been a good time to try it out!

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

I like the scent, I gave the 2 testers away for my mum and daughter to try. They both liked the scent, I do too. It doesn't clash with my perfume and has an expensive smell. It's not too weak or strong and it lasted well.

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

Yes I would recommend it. I am buying it again definitely I have already decided when I do Christmas* treat hampers there will be some of this in them.
I will buy it before then, what I have should last a while if I don't over-do it when you apply it, but I will treat myself to somemore I am done
*Sorry for saying the 'C' word 😚

When I apply it

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use? It was very easy only took a few seconds to moisturise as it was a bit runny and it absorbed quite quickly.
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product? My skin is definitely softer ,I was quite surprised to notice such a difference so quickly.
3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin? I wasn't too keen on the smell ,it reminded me of talcum powder,it last quite a while .
4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? I would like to purchase this again possibly with a different scent and I would definitely recommend it to all my friends.

1. Was very quick and easy to use. I applied whist still stood in the shower, this did make is slippery for whoever followed me in though.

1. It left my skin feeling soft and smooth from first use. Much more then my usual moisturiser.

1. I personably love the sanctuary scent. I found it didn't last all day, however I wouldn't like it to be too overpowering anyway.

1. I would definitely buy this and have already recommended to mum,sister and friends.

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

Really easy, it took no time at all which is a huge plus point.

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

It feels lovely and soft

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

No I didn't like the scent, it was very strong and made my towel smell as well. It lasts a while.

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

I wouldn't because I became a bit itchy, I have sensitive skin and I also didn't like the smell.

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

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

No I didn't like the scent, it was very strong and made my towel smell as well. It lasts a while.

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

I wouldn't because I became a bit itchy, I have sensitive skin and I also didn't like the smell.

1. Very easy to apply and distributed really well. I was cautious of towel drying it off but it's really effective. The moisturiser was thinner than I was expecting.

1. Skin felt lovely and soft after application and after a week of use my dry elbows are much softer.

1. I didn't mind the scent but it is a bit old fashioned in my opinion. I would prefer something fresher. The smell wasn't overpowering but did linger for a few hours.

1. I think I would purchase it as it's so convenient but I would prefer a different scent. I would recommend the product.

Thank you MN and Sanctuary for letting me test this. I'm so lazy when it comes to body lotion but this took no time at all and has made a difference.

Thankyou for the opportunity to try this product! Here is my feedback:

1. It was incredibly quick and easy to apply - seemed to take no time at all to be absorbed. The consistency was a lot thinner than I expected and a agree with others who said it was tricky not to spill some of it as a result. I was expecting my towel to end up sticky but that didn't happen at all.

2. My skin does feel softer and in better condition without feeling at all "tacky" which is how it's felt after using other moisturisers.

3. I have always loved the Sanctuary scent and found this quite long-lasting (probably still noticeable up to about 6-8 hours after application) which for me is a bonus; I don't wear perfume on an everyday basis.

4. I would 100% recommend it and would purchase again because I do have areas of dry skin but have failed to maintain a moisturising regime over the years because of time pressures; this really is so much quicker, which I think is the best thing about the product.

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

Very easy to use and super quick with no fuss which is a big plus for me as I am often in a rush or sometimes just a bit lazy with skincare. It is very thin and watery but fine once you get used to it and works well as I found it was immediately absorbed into my skin.

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

I did notice an improvement to my skin, it feels softer - much better than usual. Though I don't always use a moisturiser I think this one is more effective than a few others I have used in the past. Also I didn't find it greasy or sticky at all which is a big positive as many others are which is something that puts me off using them.

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

The scent is ok but I tend to prefer a more fruity one or unscented. I think it does last on my skin for most of the day but only very subtlety rather than being overpowering.

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

Yes I would recommend it and buy again myself, even though I'm not a fan of the scent, it was non offensive and I like the product for its ease of use and because it worked well on my skin

1. easy, use whilst skin is still wet and then towel dry as normal.
2. Skin was nice and soft after.
3. The scent is pleasant- just like other sanctuary products.
4. I would recommend but probably not buy as I'm on a tight budget.

I can't give feedback yet. Left for holiday before mine arrived. If the Post Office have it when I get home I will be back to update. I know my post sunbathing skin will need some help.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?
Absolute doddle. Step out bath/shower blob in hands goes all over in seconds and then wrap towel around yourself.
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?
Lovely. As good as a generic moisturiser is but soft and smooth in minutes rather than half and hour.

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

*I love the scent. Some variety would be nice too, but not the end of the word. However it didn't last as I had hoped. I was hoping for the longevity of Clarins or similar.

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

For £8 and the fact that it's sheer speed and convenience encourages me to mouisturise daily I will buy again. Articulately as Boots etc usually have good offers on.

I wasn't lucky enough to be a tester but just a heads up that Boots are selling this for £5 at the mo rather than the normal £8 and it's also on 3 for 2 so you can get 3 bottles for £10.Bargain!

I got some today and am looking forward to using it

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?
Really quick and easy. I am always in a huge rush so don't moisturise nearly enough because I dislike having the sticky legs afterwards & getting it all on my hands etc. Was dubious how well it would work after the shower but was great.
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?
Really smooth, all day long. Absolutely no complaints there. Without the residue I get from some moisturisers as well.
3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?
Yes. It felt "fancy" & like a treat using it. Lasted all day & into evening one night I went out.
4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?
Definitely. Easy. Good quality, moisturises really well.

My mum tried one of the mini bottles too - she echoed my comments. She was especially dubious of the method of application because she'd never seen anything like it before but thought the product was great.

1. Very easy. Just slap it onto wet skin. It did take me a couple of tries to work out how much to use. The first time I used a bit too much and it left my arms feeling a little sticky with residue.
   This is a good product for me because I'm a lazy bastard and I can't be bothered to spend time applying body moisturiser and letting it soak in. I'm pushed for time in the week so normally only do it at the weekend, but this is so quick to do I can now moisturise every day.

2. My legs, arms and chest feel much smoother and softer after using it for a week. Like previous posters, my legs can sometimes get a bit scaly, but not whilst I've been using this!

3. I'm not all that keen on the scent but it's not offensive. It didn't really last, which is fine by me!

4. I would think about buying it again, even if it's only during the summer when my legs are on show.
   I would definitely recommend it to busy and/or lazy friends.

1. super easy to use. I am a awful at moisturising so this was perfect for me, without standing around waiting for it to absorb. I noticed the difference straight away.

1. I thought my skin had a nice sheen to it after. There was no grease at all. Really absorbent.

oops posted too soon.

1. Nice light scent that lasted a while. I probably like a slightly stronger scent and perhaps more of a range of scents would be great.

1. I checked the prices online and it seemed to be around £8. I think it would depend on how long it lasted. I think I would buy again and definitely would if I found a 3 for 2 offer or similar, I would be stocking up.

Thanks for the opportunity to test.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use? Very quick and easy, would have preferred a thicker consistency as I seemed to end up using far too much.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product? Hmm, haven't really noticed much difference.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin? Love the scent, lasted for a couple of hours.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? Probably not, I think I need a thicker product for my skin.

Thank you for choosing me to test this product. Pre-children I used to use a body brush every day before the shower and fully moisturise after. My child is coming up 4 and I can count on one hand the number of times I have bothered with body lotion since having him

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

This couldn't be easier to use. I kept it in the shower and applied it before I got out. It is very quick so doesn't feel like a chore.

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

The first time I used it I really slapped it on, and it made my skin feel a bit tacky. So the next day I used less and it made my skin lovely and silky. I think less is more when it's used on wet skin.

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

I am not a fan of the Sanctuary scent having used the brand before. I would prefer an unscented version. Having said that I don't feel like the fragrance lingered on me so it's not a problem.

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

I would definitely purchase the product again. It takes seconds to apply and then you can just towel dry and get dressed. I have used it every day since it arrived and I will continue to use it. I don't think it's the most moisturising product out there but I already have a body moisturiser that I love and I'm just not using it. The convenience of this product would take some beating.

1.How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?
Really quick and easy! I put it straight on after switching the shower off and towel dried straight after

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

My skin felt really smooth and soft after using the product, my legs have never looked or felt better!

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

I love the scent, it lasted for 6/7 hours I would say but it is very subtle which is ideal as I don't want it clashing with my perfume.

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

^Absolutely! I have already recommended it to several friends and I will most certainly be buying more!

Thanks so much for letting me try this product, it's really helped with my dry skin and is so quick and easy to fit into my daily routine. Previous in shower moisturisers I have tried have left my skin feeling waxy and greasy so this was perfect. Amazing how it doesn't make the shower tray slippery afterwards too. Thank you^

1. Very quick and easy to use - turn off shower, apply, dried pretty quickly!

1. Skin felt noticeably softer and stayed soft all day.

1. The scent was quite subtle and lasted a few hours, but not all day.

1. Yes I'd purchase it again because my skin was noticeably softer after use. I would also recommend it to friends as it's quite easy to use and is quite the timesaver!

Thanks The Sanctuary!
