This is my second venture into Palmer's. The previous one was Palmer's Cocoa Cherry Lip Balm, and this time is a body lotion. It comes in mini bottle so it's very handy to bring when traveling. It has SPF 15 with UVA/UVB protection, so it's okay to use if you don't expose your body to sun light too much. It is also enriched with vitamin E to keep your skin delicate. It claims to smooth marks and tone skin.
I love yummy fragrance, so I was attracted to buy this lotion because it smells exactly like hot chocolate! If you love Britney Spears Fantasy, Hidden Fantasy or Vera Wang Princess perfumes, you must like this lotion too. But let me tell you, this lotion's fragrance is VERY strong! So it might not be very pleasant to smell in hot and humid summer days. The smell lingers on your skin for long hours, so you could still sniff your hands after a couple hours. Trust me, you'd be tempted to lick your own hands! LoL!
The moisturizing properties are great. It really soothes your skin, though it's a bit sticky. So, I believe this lotion is better be used in winter/cold weather/air conditioned room. The lotion has creamy yellowish color and texture, so it is very thick and difficult to drip out from the bottle when it's almost running out. Texture wise, I like my former body lotion from Yves Saint Rocher better than this one. Because Palmer is rather sticky, maybe because it has sunscreen ingredients? However, the smell lasts longer than Yves body lotion.
In conclusion, it's a GREAT body lotion for winter and spring seasons. I bought it at Watsons, cost me NT $80/50ml or below US $3.
I rate it 4 out of 5 points for its fragrance, moisturising effect and price. ^^
