Wood I didn't get a feedback request email either, I just found the thread by chance because it popped up in Active!

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

Very easy, seemed to go a long way as well because it went on wet skin. I forget to moisturise usually so this means it's all done in one step!

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

Reasonably soft, as with any moisturiser.

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

I do like it, but find it more of an evening scent as it is quite heavy. Would be lovely if they did a fresh lemony/citrusy one for daytimes!

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

I would likely purchase again and i do like sanctuary products as gifts for friends/teachers etc so it is likely I would buy for others too. I'd recommend it simply because it's easy to remember to use it, very convenient.

I have just tried for the first time today and I have to say I'm fairly impressed so far.
1 Goes on very easy and doesn't leave you sticky.

2 Skin feels nice and moisturised but not heavy.

1. Pleasant scent and quick to use.

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

Both quick and easy. Applied in seconds, rubbed in easily.

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

Being honest I'm not really sure I noticed a difference. I suspect it'll be good for when I have really dry skin on holiday. But for day to day use it didn't seem to make much difference.

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

Loved the scent and it really lasted all day.

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

Probably not as didn't get much effect. But I would recommend Sanctuary products and look out for others as I really liked the scent.

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

Super easy, easy enough that it's convinced me I can fit this in to my daily routine! I would never moisturise my body normally as it is too much faff but I liked this. The cream is quite runny, I did a good job of accidentally moisturising the shower floor the first time I used it, got used to it now though.

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

Nice and soft, my arms are feeling very smooth.

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

Scent is okay, I prefer sweeter smells but this isn't bad. It didn't last very long, a few hours later it was starting to fade and by end of day I can't smell it anymore.

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

I would definitely buy this again, I would prefer if there were different scents though. I would recommend it to friends with busy lives like me!

MN - I didn't receive an email prompting me for feedback, is there anything else I need to do? i.e. survey?

I left out the last question. I would buy and recommend to others as I normally never get round to using moisturiser due to lack of time.

So finally found time to leave feedback

1. Very easy to use, sometimes think it feels a bit "slimy" using on wet skin but got used to it quickly and takes no time, means I have done it every shower rather than only weekend ones.
2. Has made a huge difference skin feels really nice and soft, this may be due to using it more as applying wet takes much less time than normal.

3.Scent was fine, I thought it was light and fresh, seemed to last for a few hours on my skin. 4.I would definitely buy it again, appeals to. My lazy (time saving) take on beauty, gave one of my samples to my friend who tells me she loved it and we will be making a trip to boots soon! I've kept the other one for travelling, lol!

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

Extremely quick and easy. The only thing I was unsure of was how much to use.

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

Definitely felt softer and smoother.

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

I find it a little too strong and would prefer if it did not linger as much.

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

I would buy it again and recommend it, however would prefer a lighter fragrance.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use? Really easy :D
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product? My skin felt lovely and smooth.
3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin? I liked the scent, it wasn't overpowering but didn't last too long.
4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? If the price was right I would get it again yes and would recommend.

Thank you for letting me test this product

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

Really easy and quick - I am really bad at using body lotion even though my skin is dry because it is such a faff. This took very little effort.

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

I think the first time I used too much product and I felt a bit sticky. The second time was much better and my skin felt soft all day.

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

I have to be honest and I prefer other scents, but this one didn't last that long on my skin so I wasn't too bothered.

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

Yes I would buy again, and I've given one of the sample sizes to my best friend who is a Sanctuary addict to try out - I'm saving the other one for holidays!

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

Super quick and super easy, I got into the habit of reaching for the bottle straight out the shower, applying the lotion and then drying straight off. It felt a bit strange at first as I felt like I was wiping off what I had just put on! I was able to easily make this part of my morning routine

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

my skin felt really smooth and soft and I kept that feeling all day

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

I loved the scent it, I totally associate that signature smell with sanctuary products

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

I would purchase it again, I saw it on sale in boots for about £5.00 and I would be happy to pay that much for a bottle (full price was about £8.00, and I would probably leave it on the shelf at full price.) I would recommend it as it was quick and easy to apply, the scent lasted really well and my skin was smooth and soft.

Did anyone else find that the lotion in the sample tube was thicker than the lotion in the full sized tube?

1 The cream was very easy to use but because it's so thin you get through it fast. With putting it on wet skin it's a little difficult yo tell exactly where you've been, although I can't think of an answer to this short of adding colouring and turning your skin blue.

2 My skin was lovely and soft afterwards, despite shaving which usually leaves my legs very dry.

3 I really disliked the scent - very musty. Fortunately it didn't stick around on me (or I got used to it). It did stick on the towels though so they had to be washed after each use.

4 scent aside I liked this. Would I buy it again depends on the price - I wouldn't spend more that £4 on it though. I'd be very happy to be given some (thank you!) and the mini versions will go in my holiday bag. Great for if you're in a hurry.

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

Very quick & easy. I have not had to think about it. The timing of the application is ideal. I have very dry skin & used to moisturise daily but have fallen out of the habit and now can't face applying moisturiser as it makes me sticky/ feels like a waste of time.

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

yes to soft & smooth but not greasy and not sticky.

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

a pleasant scent but quite light. A variety would be nice.

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

Yes, definitely. The concept works well for me.

1. Very quick and easy. It is a little sloppy so you have to be careful not to drip any off your hands, but it applies well and dries quickly.

1. It really did make my skin feel smooth but without that sticky or tacky feeling you often get with other lotions.

1. Quite a strong, almost masculine smell, but I liked it.

1. Yes, I'd recommend.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use? Very quick! Mainly because I am always late and I have still been able to use it without feeling rushed, It takes less than a minute to apply. It's a little runny but its not really an issue. Doesn't leave marks on towels I don't feel it leaving a residue on my skin once applied.
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product? It was instantly noticeable, I never moisturise as much as I should as is takes too long but this was really convenient.
3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin? Its lovely and I would say it lasted at least 8 hours.
4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? Yes and yes, I saw it on an introductory offer in Boots for £5 I prob wouldn't pay more than that though.

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

Very quick and easy to use, went on easy though I did avoid my boobs as still breastfeeding.

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

Skin felt softer after first use, was pleasantly surprised.

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

To be honest I wasn't keen on the scent, it seemed a bit old fashioned. I'd prefer a more citrusy scent. It was quite strong initially but couldn't smell it later on (around 6h after application).

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

I would consider buying it if it was on offer but wouldn't be keen to pay full price. I may recommend it, again if it was on offer.

Thanks for the opportunity to test it

I can't see how to give the feedback! Is there a link or is it just a post on here? First time testing on Mumsnet

1. It was easy to use and not at all sticky which I thought it might be. I didn't towel dry after applying, I thought this would defeat the object iyswim. Soaked in / dried quickly. No residue.

1. Skin much softer after first use. Kept using and my skin stayed super soft. Better than other stuff I've tried, including oils and body butters. Really surprised. Really impressed.
2. Sanctuary scent stayed. A little too much for me. Too much to use after a morning shower as I like to wear perfume during the day. Would have been far too over powering. I would have preferred a milder scent. The sanctuary sleep scent would have been perfect, as I typically have used this before bed.
3. I would definately use this again, based on how my skin is after I've used it. Only downside was the scent (if you can call that a down side). Would definately recommend.

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

This was the whole reason that I was keen to test! It's really, really easy, even for a lazy person like me.
I squirted it very liberally!

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

My skin felt softer! Almost as if I should've been doing this sort of thing for the last 20 years.

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

It wasn't too overpowering and I was pleasantly surprised at how long it lasted.

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

Yes I would recommend it and have already passed on the cute sample size! I plan to buy it again because it's the only way I'm going to moisturise. Watch out for doing your feet in the bath though!

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

VERY - quick and easy.
Multiple factors contribute to me not usually moisturising after showers:

1. Time
2. Laziness
3. Time

This product is super convenient. The light-weight formula works in its favour as the speed of application is about a minute for my whole body: I literally slap it on, rub a little and pat dry.

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

Skin felt soft but was initially strange to not feel the usual greasiness that I've come to associate with body moisturisers! This really is a "put it on and go" type product. No sticky sensation, perfect for summer.
Considering that body butters can take much longer to apply hence do not get used regularly, this is a vast improvement and a practical addition to the day.

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

Generally I'm not a fan of perfumes in moisturisers. I definitely recognised the familiar Sanctuary scent and it wasn't offensive. I wasn't particularly aware of it lingering on my skin, but I see that as a positive rather than negative. I like that it remained part of the "just showered" smell rather than a substitute for perfume.

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

Definitely - to both.

Have already recommended it and I cannot see who would not benefit from it!

It truly is a miracle product for me as I have been struggling to juggle different commitments over the last year and "me" time fell to the bottom of priority list. This product is such a simple step to the day, easy to incorporate even for those who lack any beauty regime but with lasting results that leave me feeling like I have pampered myself in some way despite the daily chaos of a toddler and baby.

Thank you for this opportunity.
Well done Sanctuary for another great quality product.

. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?
Very easy. Just followed the instructions. I didn't think it would sink in but it does. It also doesn't feel sticky like other moisturisers do on my skin and I liked that.

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

Definitely felt like I'd moisturised. Feels soft the morning after too.

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

Yes I love the smell of sanctuary products and could still smell it the morning after.

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

Yes I would buy it. I'm quite lazy with applying moisturiser after a shower and since getting this I've done it most nights as it's hassle free.

It was really easy to use. Thought it might leave me feeling a bit slimy but it was absorbed nicely into wet skin.

It did leave my skin feeling much softer

I personally didn't like the scent that much but it didn't last very long anyway (and to me that was a bonus) maybe something fresher would be better.

I would buy again at the right price with a different smell. Because it's quite runny I used a lot each time so can't see the bottle lasting that long

Hi, thanks for giving me the chance to test this product

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

.it was so easy to use. Much less work than traditional moisturiser. A small blob spreads really well, so I simply did one big swipe to spread it around. I was worried about it making the shower floor slipping but it didn't seem to drip at all

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

My skin feels great. Massive improvement. It was quite dry and flakey but using this a few times a week has shown a major improvement

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

Sadly the scent was far too heavy and overpowering for me. It also covered the towels so dh was thrilled

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

Will be watching closely to see if it's released in a lighter scent. Love the product but scent was not for me.
I have already recommended and would happily do so again

1. It was incredibly easy to use this product. I do not normally use body lotion because mornings are so hectic and I do not have enough time. This lotion was fantastic - it's super quick to apply, so I have no more excuses not to moisturise. I found it especially great after shaving my legs.

1. My skin feels very soft and smooth. My legs can get a bit dry this time of year and now they look and feel fab!

1. I really like the Sanctuary scent. I have purchased Sanctuary body sprays in the past. I don't think the scent lasted 12 hours. It's very strong when first applied but probably last about six hours, and is very faint twelve hours post application. It might be a good idea for Sanctuary to make an unscented version of this product for those who don't like heavily scented lotions or have sensitive skin.

1. I would purchase this again and have already recommended it to friends.
