What They Say:

RRP: $21.95 (150ml) - Available exclusively from Coles
What I Say:
I also recently reviewed the Hydra-Oil, so if you’ve missed
my review, you can see it here.
The Hydra-Oil has been designed with an ingredient called
Tri Nano Oil which acts as a non-greasy emollient and helps with increased skin
absorption.
It claims to be specifically formulated to help diminish the
appearance of scars and other skin discolorations such as spots and stretch
marks, as well as aiding in evening out skin tone and nourishing mature and
dehydrated skin.
It is made up of essential oils, which helps to tone the
skin and remove the dryness to keep the skin smooth and hydrated. Hydra-Oil is
rich in vitamins which help fight signs of ageing and improves the health and
quality of skin.
Unlike other body creams, this cream comes in an aerosol
can, where the cream sprays out like a little like a shaving gel. The can is easy
to use – well the first time, but when you go back to get more and you have
slightly greasy hands from the cream, it does make it a little trickier to hang
on to the bottle.
It has a quite strong natural scent, no doubt coming from
the rosemary, lavender and chamomile oils used. This scent does fade once the
cream has absorbed into the skin, but still does linger around a little.
So how did the cream perform after using it for a few weeks?
Well, I have to say that I have not noticed any difference in the appearance of
stretch marks, scars or skin tone. But Hydra-Oil is recommending using to twice
a day for a minimum of three months to see results, and as I’ve only been using
it once a day for a few weeks it may be a little early to cast a verdict.
What I like:
- That it contains lots of natural oils including chamomile, lavender, rosemary, sunflower, and calendula,
- It is very moisturising
- It absorbs quickly and is non-greasy
What I don’t like
- That I cannot see how much cream is left in the can
- That the can is a little tricky to use when you have greasy hands
- The scent is a little strong
- That it contains parabens
Overall, this is a lovely body cream, which is
extremely moisturising and nourishing, yet absorbs quickly and without leaving
the skin feel greasy. At $21.95 for 150ml it is a little expensive for a
‘supermarket’, but as it is quite concentrated I’d dare say that the can would
last for a while, although again, this is hard to tell, as it is not possible
to see how much cream is left in the can – after two weeks of daily use, it
feels like I still have around half a can left. So if you have dry skin, I
definitely recommend that you give this body cream a go.
