To keep the skin soft, supple and hydrated this winter, VLCC is out with two body lotions – Almond Nourishing Body Lotion and Cocoa Butter Hydrating Body Lotion. I’ve been trying out the Cocoa Butter variant for some time and in this post, sharing my take on the product.
Product Description
Cocoa butter is one of the best natural skin conditioners. It contains fatty acids that help in hydrating the skin deeply making it look and feel soft and supple. Enriched with antioxidants this nourishing emollient fights environmental stressors and free radicals, keeping them from damaging the skin cells that trigger premature aging. Combining the benefits of Cocoa butter with conditioning qualities of olive oil and aloe gel VLCC has whipped up this beautiful hydrating body lotion that moisturizes the skin and keeps it looking young, flawless and radiant.
Benefits:
- With SPF 15
- Deep hydration
- Enriched with Cocoa butter
Price: Rs 155 for 200 ml & Rs 255 for 350ml
I had actually expected this lotion to be quite thick, luxurious and smell like dark chocolate. It is not thick but has a medium consistency, quite light, spreads evenly and absorbs into the skin without leaving any greasy/oily film on top. It also hydrates the skin quite well and once I apply it, I’m sorted for nearly 5-6 hours. I would say that this lotion will work well on those with normal, slightly dry and oily skin but if you have very dry skin and need extra protection, you will probably need a lotion that is thicker.
I am quite happy with the VLCC Cocoa Butter Hydrating Lotion. It is reasonably priced and does a good job in hydrating my skin. The only thing I don’t like about it is the smell. Like I said earlier, I expected it to smell like dark chocolate. It does not. In fact, it has a mint and aloe vera kinda smell which is pleasant and refreshing but I expected chocolate. And since I did not get chocolate, I’m disappointed. Other than that, no other complaints 🙂
