Tonic 4 my Booty?

Garnier Body Tonic £4.15 for 250ml at Superdrug

This product was on offer for so long at superdrug,



Every time I walked into to pick up tat like cotton wool pads i could see it's garish yellow bottle out of the corner of my eye. Eventually I caved.

The tube says:

"moisturises and firms the skin in one invigorating step...non-greasy gel-creme texture...enriched with seaweed extract and phyto caffeine known for its stimulating properties, each day skin feels firmer...proven effectiveness" Along with many more "facts" and numbers.

Pros


  • Skin does feel firmer, softer and hydrated for the whole day
  • Delish lemon verbena scent
  • Dries quickly
  • Dermatologically tested
  • Large amount of product for the price 
  • Uses "naturally derived ingredients whenever possible"

Cons


  • Skin is firmer over time ONLY with continued use
  • Sort of tacky texture which you really have to rub in
  • Toned skin feel only proven with a test on 25 women
  • Seven day smooth skin feel only proven with a test on 52 women

Overall marks are a solid 8/10
I do prefer the garnier seven day range, which is a similar formula and comes in plenty more scents, but this one was going really cheap and I don't regret the purchase.
