1. Very quick and easy to use - mornings are always hectic in our house but I can fit this in easily
2. Skin definitely felt softer
3. I like the scent - it's not too heavy and doesn't last all day
4. I would recommend the product and would consider buying it again

1. I was really impressed with how quickly and easily I was able to moisturise my skin in the mornings, was a bit sceptical about being able to towel dry straight away afterwards but the cream didn't seem to wipe away. Having it in the shower has meant that I'm more likely to remember to use it daily, and the fact that I don't have to wait to get dressed afterwards is a total bonus.
2. The skin on my legs and ankles does seem to be much more moisturised than before, perhaps because I'm moisturising daily now rather than whenever I remember/have time. I do definitely see an improvement.
3. I like the scent, it's the same one as the salt scrub so for me instantly recognisable. However I do think it would be nice to have a fragrance free version, as the scent is quite strong, lasted a few hours and may not suit everyone.
4. I would buy this product again, and would recommend it to others. It's quick, easy to use and it works.

1. How quick and/or easy was Santuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle to use?
Very quick and very easy. I never usually have time to put on body lotion after my shower but this honestly took less than a minute to apply.
2. How soft or smooth did your skin feel after using the product?
Impressively soft! I was sceptical that a product you applied when you were wet then towel dried would actually make any difference but it really did. I actually dislike the feeling of 'normal' body lotions as I think they feel sticky for ages afterwards but this absorbed quickly without any stickiness.
3. Do you like the Sanctuary scent? Did you think it lasted on your skin?
It's the traditional Sanctuary scent, which I don't mind. It would be nice to have a range of scents though.
4. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it?
I'd definitely buy this again and have already recommended it to family and friends.

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

Very easy. In fact, I don't think it could have been quicker. With normal moisturisers you have to dry first then spend time rubbing the cream in, and then leave it to dry. None of that here. The process of moisturising took less than a minute.

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

I rarely moisturise due to the hassle/time factor, so I'm comparing the product to a base of nothing. After using the product everyday for a week, my skin felt less dry, but not significantly so. I find my skin gets driest in winter, so it would have been good to test it then.

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

Its the typical sanctuary scent. I don't mind it, but given a selection of choices, its probably not one I would go for. The scent didn't last all day, perhaps a few hours.

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

I will probably buy it again, not because it made a significant difference to my skin, but because the industry/marketing tells us its important to moisturise our skin and I can never be bothered. This product makes me feel that I'm being kind to my skin without much work.

I loved this product!. Thank you so much for sending me some to try. This was such a treat!

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

The product was really easy to use - I kept it in the bathroom so I didn't forget to put it on after a shower. I am rubbish at maintaining any type of pampering type routine so this product was perfect for me as it was so quick to use.

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

My skin definitely felt much softer after using it. I was impressed at how smooth my arms felt especially my upper arms which I don't like as the skin feels quite rough.

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

I like the scent but I think I would purchase the product if there were other fragrances available.

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

I would definitely buy it again both for myself and as a present. Also yes I would recommend it.

thanks again.

1. Very quick and easy to use, applies well.
2. Skin felt soft and smooth after the first use and has continued to give good results.
3. I liked the scent not to over powering, lasted on the skin for the right amount of time.
4. I would purchase the product again, it has helped to reduce the amount of time I previously spent showering and moisturising, which is great as I have two small children to work around :) would recommend

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

Really easy, just rub it on when wet. There was no streakyness or waiting for it to be absorbed.

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

Really smooth! It seemed to moisturise well.

1. Do you like the Sanctuary scent?

I really like the scent, but it would be nice to have the sanctuary scent 'with pomegranate' or 'with 'elderflower' or something like that.

Did you think it lasted on your skin?
It lasted a while but not as long as others. Later in the day I couldn't smell it.

1. Would you purchase the product again? Would you recommend it? I would purchase it if I needed it, and yes I'd recommend it for quickness.

1 - product very easy to use. As it goes on wet skin it is really easy to apply.
2 - skin felt really soft after use. It even managed to get rid of my scaly skin I have on my shins and this was after using every other day for a week.
3 - loved the scent of this. It prob lasted a couple of hours, couldn't really smell it after that.
4 - unfortunately I wouldn't buy this product again as it seems I'm allergic to it, annoyingly! Same happens with other rich moisturiser products. Seems to bring the skin on the back of my knees and tummy out in a rash. I would recommend it though. Gave one of the smaller ones to my mother who is also loving it and she will prob go on to buy again.

Overall a smashing product that I would happily pay for if my skin didn't react to it

So I've been using this for 2 weeks now....

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

Very easy, it's not very thick so was using quite a lot at first but even when I used a lot it still dried in lovely. I was worried about residue on my towels but there's been nothing. Saved me a good 15 mins as I was able to get dressed almost straightaway without having that greasy feel.

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

Lovely and smooth, didn't feel at all greasy and I've noticed my skin still feels quite smooth on days I haven't used it - I have normal skin with a tendeny to get a bit dry now and again.

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

I usually like the scent of Sanctuary Spa products, but at first I wasnt as keen on this one, it's got quite a musky smell at first but it wasn't so strong once I was dryoung and dressed and my skin smelt lovely all day. Overall it wouldn't put me off buying the product.

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

I would recommend it, passed the samples on to friends and they liked it too. The ease of use and the non greasy feel sold it for me.
Im on a bit of a budget so would happily purchase at the lower price point of £5 that it's been at the moment but wouldn't purchase so often at £8

Thanks for the opportunity and product

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

Very quick and easy. Have always found applying moisturiser a chore but this was fine.

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

Very soft and smooth for first part of day.

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

Yes but it didn't last very long.

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

Depends on the retail price.

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

Very easy - I was sceptical that it would all rub off on the towel, but it didn't. No dripping here either!

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

Softer after initial use, but the effect builds with continued use. I also like the fact that there's no greasy residue, so I'm not flapping about like a penguin for ages before I can get dressed.

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

Loved the scent, but didn't find it particularly long lasting

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

Yes, loved the effect, and it is so quick and easy (plus the bonus you can get dressed straightaway) that I now moisturise regularly- something I wouldn't normally think to do.

Thanks for the chance to try it!

Thank you for this wonderful treat! I love Sanctuary products and this was no exception!

1. It was very easy to apply. I agree with previous posters who have said it was a little runny. I wasn't expecting that the first time I used it but after that, I was more careful how I dispensed it!! It went onto my skin very easily and took next to no time to sink in. I thought it would just rub off when I towelled dry but it did not.

1. I was genuinely surprised quite how soft my skin felt after I'd finished my routine and was dressed. I do use your products quite a lot anyway, especially the body lotion.

1. I adore the Sanctuary scent. It lasted a few hours but then did fade quite quickly. Still, that just meant I had to slather on some more lotion! :) I agree that perhaps a couple of other scents (the Damask Rose scent you use in body wash etc.. for example) would be nice.

1. Absolutely would recommend (and have done!). However, I love it too much so I kept all the samples for myself!! I'm a mum of twins and rarely have time (or money!) for such treats so these are MINE MINE MINE!! :)

Thank you again. If you ever need a guinea pig again.... ;)

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

Really quick and easy. I was surprised at just how easy it was to apply actually. I hate moisturising normally, but this was so hassle-free that I didn't mind doing it.

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

Very smooth and soft. No more scaly legs for me thanks to this!

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

I have tried Sanctuary products before and found the scent instantly recognisable. It is a nice scent - however I would have preferred it to be a little bit stronger, as I didn't feel that the scent lingered on my skin for very long after application.

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

Yes I would. I must admit that I had doubts about it - wouldn't the towel just wipe it off instantly. However I have been proved wrong and I was really impressed. I would certainly recommend to others who often can't be bothered with the mess that moisturising "normally" makes.

1. The wet skin miracle is so quick and easy to apply. I always have good intentions to moisturise after my morning shower but then forget or am side-tracked. This is a much easier way of applying.

1. Has made a noticeable improvement to my scaly, dry legs and my elbows are definitely softer.

1. The scent does last on my skin but sadly I'm not keen on the smell. I would prefer unscented or a lighter smell as I find the smell quite over powering.

1. Would definitely recommend this product and would buy again in a different fragrance.

Thank you for choosing me as a tester.

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

Very easy - I thought it would be all messy and remain on my skin but it doesn't.

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

I think it's making it softer - need a few more weeks to really test it.

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

I like the scent but haven't noticed it lingering for long.

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

Yes if the price wasn't too exensive. It's easy to use and doesn't make my skin feel 'heavy'. Thank you.

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

Very quick and easy! I get very limited 'me' time so moisturising often goes out the window until now. Even i have time to use this.

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

Really soft after and longer after my shower than when just using a moisturising shower gel, mainly noticed on my legs.

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

I love the scent, it lasted for a couple of hours but would like it to have been longer

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

Yes. perfect for a busy mum, one less thing to worry about.

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

It took a couple of gos to get used to using it straight out of the shower but once I got used to it it was so much quicker and easier and I think I used less that my usual moisturiser.

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

My skin felt quite smooth although am not sure it's made a long lasting difference at the moment but I haven't been using it for long.

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

I didn't really notice a smell which I like as I prefer products without a strong smell.

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

I would depending on the price and would recommend it as it was really quick to use especially as a mum who is trying to have a quick shower whilst looking after a toddler and meant o did actually get to use moisturiser!

1. The product was quick and easy to use. It is a little bit runny compared to other moisturises but I just towel dried at the end and it was still effective!

1. My skin feels so soft since using this. I've been using the product for about a week now and I can see a huge difference. My skin stays soft for the whole day and I've even had my little one comment on how soft my arms were!

1. *Smelling my skin* - been 4 hours roughly and I can still smell it! It's a classic sanctuary scent which I quite like!

1. I would use this product 100% again. The convenience and ease is brilliant!

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

very easy. I was skeptical at first, but got used to the idea of applying to wet skin. It went in easily and was absorbed quickly. It was a quick process and it spread well on wettish skin.

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

The skin was impressively smooth afterwards - very good indeed. I have dry legs that really suffer and it made them softer.

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

I like the scent. It lasted for a very long time.

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

I would purchase it - and would use it after most baths. Sometimes i do like to dry right away - so wonder how it will be in Winter when I just want to wrap myself up right away. I would recommend this to others - nicely soft skin, good scent and easy to use.

1.Very quick and easy to use.

1. it created very soft and smooth skin even after one use.
2. It had a go scent ( not too strong) Cannot say how long it lasted as showered and used it before bed so was asleep soon after.
3. Yes, I would purchese again and recommend it to friends.

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

It is very quick and easy to use Sanctuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle.

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

My skin felt so soft after using the product and it stayed soft for hours after.

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

I did like the sanctuary scent. It last a couple of hours before disappearing. I would have liked it to last longer.

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

I have already purchased this product again as have enjoyed using it. I would definitely recommend it to others too.

The product was so easy to apply. Wasn't sure that when I dried myself I wouldn't rub the product off but it stayed on my skin well and didn't appear to leave a residue on the towels.
My skin is noticeably smoother and softer which I'm suprised at as my thighs are usually lizard like.
The scent is gentle and not offensive but not long lasting. The smell wasn't entirely to my taste but wouldn't put me off buying the product.
I'd definitely buy the product again as it made a difference to the look and feel of my skin. Sadly I'm greedy and didn't pass the other free samples on I kept them all to myself!!! Thankyou for choosing me to test the product

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

really easy/quick. Just put it on and get dried as normal!

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

I definitely noticed a difference, my skin felt really smooth

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

I loved the scent, it wasn't too overpowering but felt really clean. I could smell it all morning!

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

If it was reasonably priced then I would buy it & I would definitely recommend to others!

Loved it!

1. Very quick and easy once I'd actually read the instructions! It really takes no time at all, although I suspect I will be less keen to stand in the shower with no water on once the winter months arrive.

1. Really soft and smooth, even after first application. I have very sensitive skin and can't use many scented or "beauty" products, but this hasn't irritated me at all.

1. I like the scent but don't really notice it. I don't have a great sense of smell though.

1. Yes, I would, dependent on pricing.

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

It was very easy to use, if slightly runnier than I expected.

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

Nicely soft, but I didn't think that the softness was especially long lasting at all.

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

I love the scent., but again I didn't think it lasted particularly well.

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

Yes, for a holiday perhaps. I would recommend it with the reservations above.
