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

Really easy to use, just turn off the shower and rub it in. Don;t even need to use much so it should last a while.

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

Definitely softer and smoother. I was surprised as I thought it would rub straight off as i dried myself but it really made a difference.

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

I have always loved the scent of Sanctuary products and this is no different.

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

Definitely, this is perfect for me as I am always in too much of a rush to moisturise, but I have time for this. Will definitely buy again and add to my must-have list!!

Hello

I really looked forward to testing this as I love Sanctuary products.

I love the smell (doesn't last the whole day but definitely lasts for a few hours) but find the product runnier than I expected. Love the convenience of moisturising during my shower but I'm not yet convinced that it's making a huge difference to my dry skin. Will keep using and report back though.

I probably would buy it again for the smell and for the convenience

1. Very easy to apply and dries nicely with no stickiness.

2.Made my skin feel really smooth after using. I have quite dry skin so noticed a big difference.

3.The scent was lovely and lasted a long time.

4.I would definitely purchase this again. It is a really good product.

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

It saves so much time, just slap it when dripping wet instead of waiting around to be dry. Its great and super quick and easy.

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

I was impressed how soft my skin felt after using this. I noticed especially the day after and beyond how silky smooth it was whereas usually my skin doesnt feel as good.

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

I liked the scent, it wasnt overpowering, it was just perfect.

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

I would 100% be a regular purchaser of this from now on and will be recommending to everyone. I loved it and am majorly impressed!

1. I love this product, A small amount goes a long way, and it's a super fast to massage onto on wet skin and simply dry off, very efficient and good value. It's doesn't leave you sticky or with residue like other in shower moisturisers, I have tried.

2. I was left with luxuriously silky smooth skin, head to toe from the 1st use, which increased with each use, I felt throughly pampered with minimum effort, the last time my skin felt this soft, was after a full Turkish bath on holiday!

3. The scent was subtle, light and not over powering, so I was confident to use it all over, without irritation.

4. Yes, I recommend this product and will buy, for ease of use and the end result, it's great VFM, I would love this product to be available in the rose and damson Sanctuary range.

Thank You!

Apologies!

Q2) The scent lasted well into the evening after my morning shower!

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

It was very easy to put on and it has made me moisturise every day which doesn't normally happen!

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

I think my skin is softer overall, and I like how it has made me moisturise my stomach and legs which often get forgotten.

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

The scent is fine but I don't think it has lasted very long. I'm sniffing my arms right now and can't smell very much.

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

I think I probably will buy it once I've used it up and I'd definitely recommend it, but I need to see how much it is going to cost.

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

Very quick and easy, I found I needed less than normal as it spreads into my skin easily. So quick I'm now moisturising most days rather than once a week

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

My very dry legs felt very soft afterwards. Still looked dry the second day after using it once but with continued use, and more regular moisturising, my legs are starting to look smooth every day

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

I do like the scent, it isn't too strong and smells like luxury to me. At work I keep getting a whiff of it throughout the day.

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

Yes I would purchase it again and also recommend it to friends and family, in fact I already have

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?
I've a newborn who hates being put down or left alone - so speed and ease of use is very important to me. I found this product very quick and easy. It did feel as though I had to use far more than I would a regular moisturiser though - maybe because it's so light and sinks right in.

2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?
it's definitely made a difference to my arms and legs. Without a moisturiser they are dry and scaley year round.

3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?
I found the smell far too over powering, I'd have preferred something lighter and perhaps more feminine. I did feel the scent lasted well. I generally shower at around 8am and could still smell it at 4. By 8pm it was definitely gone. I think 8 hours is pretty impressive!

4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?
The scent unfortunately is just too strong for me, so I won't be using it again. I have, however, passed the remainder of the tube to my sister in law who loved the scent.
The product itself is effective and so easy that I will be on the lookout for another fragrance being released.

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

Found this super quick and easy to use after my shower, however, to feel like I'd properly moisturised I seem to have used a lot each application. I'm on application 4 and I've definitely used more than half the big tube already..... But By the time I got round to drying myself the lotion had pretty much soaked in.

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

My skin does feel smooth but I have very dry skin so probably not quite as soft as I'd hoped.

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

I actually like the scent, it's noticeable but gentle. I wouldn't be able to say it lasts the 12 hours claimed. But it does linger for a about 8 hours.

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

If the moisturiser was slightly thicker then I'd probably buy it. I'd recommend to others who may not need to use quite so much.

Thanks for the product test x

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

Very, I'd taken to applying baby oil during showering as a time saver and sanctuary beats it hands down.

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

Silky. As pp said, even OH was impressed

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

Yes and yes.there was even a trace after swimming!

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

Yes especially as it's £5 at boots til august! I gave the samples to my mum, religious nivea dry skin user and shes converted too.

As a side note the packaging does look cheap/mass produced.ok so it is mass produced but previous packaging had a lot more class to it and shallow as I am that would put me off other products in the range and gifting for Freund's/family.
Thanks for the opportunity to try.

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

Could not be easier. It literally takes a minute between turning off the shower and stepping out! It is runnier than a normal moisturiser- I wasn't expecting this the first time, so lost a bit down the drain.

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

The normally drier areas on my body were noticeably softer after just one use. I am particularly impresssed with how it has softened the skin on my elbows and legs. It felt a bit sticky a couple of areas, such as my chest, but it sank in very shortly after and did not get onto my clothes at all on dressing.

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

The scent is quite subtle and reminded me a bit of baby powder. It lasts several hours and is not too strong if you want to use perfume. Maybe a fresher, more summery alternative would also be nice, to have a choice.

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

Yes, I would buy it, but not at £8. I can't imagine the tube lasting long and there are similar products on the market for £3 to £4 in larger bottles.

How quick and/or easy was Sanctuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?
It's very easy to use. Initially it felt so wrong to be slathering it on when wet and then towel drying. I was bothered the towel would get slimy or greasy. However this wasn't the case at all. The cream is light and glides on easily. Because you're wet to start with it's very easy and quick to apply all over in less than a minute, or just on the areas you prefer. As it's summer I have been using it all over, whereas in winter I'd possibly concentrate on upper body alone.

How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?
It felt nice and soft and smooth and not at all greasy which I was worried about. I hate using body lotions that feel too heavy or 'sticky' and take an age to sink in, so this was an unexpected pleasure to use.

Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?
I am wary of many everyday products with a scent, as they can so often smell pleasant initially but gradually become cloying and irritating. I prefer to buy a specific perfume of choice and not use any other beauty products with a strong scent. I was therefore unsure whether the long lasting nature of the Sanctuary scent would put me off wanting to use it every day. However I was pleasantly surprised - I quite liked the fragrance and the fact that it was light means it would not necessarily be smelt in an overpowering way by other people. It lasted well, though I was only really aware of smelling it on my arms.

Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?
I would probably not have spontaneously purchased this without having been picked to test it as I tend to find that most body lotions are unpleasantly greasy or have too strong a scent for my liking (quite apart from the time they take to apply and sink in). However this product counters all of my pet hates about body lotions - easy to apply, not at all time-consuming, not greasy, nice and light, makes my skin feel soft and doesn't have an overpowering or unpleasant scent that irritates as the day goes on. I will definitely buy it again and probably all year round not just in summer time, and I didn't expect to be doing so! I will also be recommending it to others for all these reasons.

Many thanks for the opportunity to test the product. I am on holiday with my family, and my mum and teenage daughters have all had really good experiences using it too, echoing my responses above.

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

Very quick, very easy, really liked how convenient it was. It felt a bit weird to start with, putting it on wet skin, but works well.

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

Fairly soft - not greasy like heavier moisturisers.

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

I do like the scent, it didn't last that long but then again I don't mind that as it didn't clash with perfume. I really like the Sanctuary Damask Rose scent, would love it if it came in that scent.

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

Yes I would, and yes I have recommended it already. Great way to fit in a body lotion and be ready to go without having to wait for it to sink in (who has time for that in a morning?!)

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

Really quick and easy, I always intend to moisturise after a shower but can never be bothered but this is so quick and easy so I do.

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

Very soft and smooth. Loved the feel of it.

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

Yes loved it and it lasted.

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

I will always buy this product and have given friends the extra samples. Thanks for my free bie!!

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use? Very quick and easy to use, took no time at all at the end of my shower.
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product? Very soft and smooth, I have dry skin so could do with it a little heavier but I wasn't moisturising at all before so huge improvement!
3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin? Love the traditional Sanctuary scent and it did last, it's gone 7pm now and I just sniffed my arm and can still smell a v faint whiff of it which was applied at 630 this morning!
4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? I would depending on price of it and most likely would wait for an offer on it too!

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

This was really quick to use and to absorb into the skin. As my skin was wet already, application was very quick and I was really impressed with how quickly it dried and without leaving a greasy residue.

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

My skin was left feeling really soft and this lasted well over 24 hours.

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

The scent was probably my least favourite aspect of the product, however this smell didn't last long on my skin.

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

Yes - I would both purchase the product again and recommend it. The ease/quickness of the application process really appealed to me.

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

Very quick and easy to apply. I'm a big girl but it spreads so easily I don't need to use much.

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

Noticed a difference after the first use but now I've been using it everyday for a week my skin looks and feels so much softer.

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

Yes I do like it but would prefer a more citrus like scent. Did last on skin all day but it is very very subtle so would need to closely smell skin to get it.

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

Depending on the price not being extortionate I would definitely buy it. I've already recommended it to friends and given my 2 sample bottles away and they also like it. It's made a huge difference to my skin which I've always neglected due to time constraints. This is lovely.

Thanks for the opportunity to try this product. I've really enjoyed taking part

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

I found it really quick and easy to use. Just literally slap it on all over and then towel dry.

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

Very soft, I've got a dry patch on my right knee that is usually a bit too orange when I use fake tan (even with moisturiser before hand) but I've found it to be a lot less dry and scaly since using the Sanctuary Product.

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

Yes! I love the scent and it really lasts on your skin. I used it last night and have been getting whiffs of it all day today.

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

Yes I would buy it again as it's so easy to use. I never normally moisturise all over as I find it a faff but I will definitely continue to use this.

Right to set the scene I have 3 children under 9, I usually go to bed at 12.30/1am and alarm goes off at 6.50am, I jump in shower wash my hair, and leave by 7.25 as need to get bus, that includes drying and straightening my hair and make up. Moisturising is something I need to do but would rather sleep for an extra 5/10 minutes.

When I read about the sanctuary shower moisturiser and looked at my dry legs and arms I thought it would be a good idea but too much off a faff in the mornings.

So to answer the questions:

1. Yes it was quick and easy to use, didn't add more than a minute to my routine and it passed the test - I didn't miss my bus

1. Yes my skin felt so smooth and moisturised all day but not greasy. Especially in this hot weather I was worried it would be greasy but no really light yet really moisturising

1. I'm a big fan of sanctuary so loved the scent, by the time I got home from being in a hot office all day I couldn't smell it on myself but asked my husband and he said I smelt nice

1. I would definitely buy it, loved it. The only downside is that it is runnier which makes it quicker to apply but I seemed to use a lot up so not sure how long it will last, but I think it will definitely be a treat to me

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use? Very quick, I'm terrible at moisturing because I find it time consuming, but this was easy to apply quickly.

1. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product? No softer than usual, but I've only used for a week.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin? I loved the scent, and it lasted a few hours.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? I would possibly purchase it, and I gave a sample to my mum with a recommendation.

1 I found it very easy to use, it was a bit strange at first, standing there dripping wet and smothering myself in lotion. Ok in the summer but I wouldn't fancy doing it in the winter. I did feel as though I was wiping it off with my towel and some of the lotion did transfer onto the towel. However my skin still felt like I had just moisturised once I was dry.

2 my skin feels slightly softer but I was expecting it to feel silky smooth. I do have quite dry skin so perhaps it's not the right product for me.

3 It has the familiar sanctuary smell which I do like but the scent didn't last long on my skin.

1. I would recommended it to people who have normal skin, I think my skin is too dry for this product, however I do like the quickness of it and the scent.

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

I found it very easy to apply. The first time I squeezed out too much because I was expecting it to be thicker. I was surprised that I didn't leave any greasy residue on the towel but there was none.

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

My skin felt incredibly soft. I got Dp to stroke my arm and he said it was as smooth as a baby.

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

I hated the smell, it was far too heavily perfumed for me. I'm a bit sensitive to strong smells, they can induce migraines.

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

I would purchase it again in a different scent. It was so much quicker than my normal body lotion. I love the idea and the softness just not the smell.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use? Nice and quick to use - sunk into the skin quickly so didn't have to wait ages to get dressed.
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product? Did leave my skin feeling smoother.
3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin? I like the santuary scent so thought the scent was nice. Only lasted a few hours though.
4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? Yes I would recommend especially to Santuary Spa fans. Yes and will continue to use myself.

1. I loved how easy this was to use - once I actually remembered in the shower! It absorbs really easily and you can get dressed straight away which is a real plus when you are busy. I hate that sticky feeling after you moisturise and this product has none of that. It is a bit thin so will be interesting to see how long it lasts.

1. Skin did feel soft and smooth, and does seem to last all day.

1. I liked the fragrance, it's fairly light and didn't last that long.

1. I'd definitely buy this again, it fits so much better into my routine than standard moisturisers and gives lovely smooth skin.
