St Ives Renewing Collagen & Elastin Body Lotion Review
5:44 AMHi my loves,
I hope you're doing well! In today's post I will be reviewing the St Ives Renewing Collagen & Elastin Body Lotion. I've been testing and trying it out for the past few months so lets get started!

Price, Packaging, Quantity
You get a very generous 620ml of product and it costs anywhere from 5-10$ depending on where you purchase it from. I got it in Srilanka for 3750/- LKR which is about 12$.The St ives Renewing Collagen & Elastin Body Lotion comes in a large plastic bottle with a pump. Although the pump can be locked I don't recommend travelling with this because not only is it a massive bottle, the pump is not the most secure. However, you can always transfer your lotion to a smaller travel sized container which is what I do every time I want to take this with me on my travels.

My thoughts
I was on the hunt for a day time body lotion because my skin has been very dry lately. But I also didn't want anything that is too heavy because I absolutely despise the feeling of being sweaty after using a body product that's too rich for your weather and skin type.That's when I stumbled upon this body lotion during a deep online research session. Side note, I was also looking for a product to use on my stretch marks and I saw a few reviews from people claiming it helped renew their skin and lightened long term hyperpigmentation and I was like oh I definitely need to try this now!
It has a subtle fragrance that I personally find very refreshing and the formula is neither too light nor too heavy. If you have very dry flaky skin, this may not be the product for you. On drier areas of my skin like elbows, feet, etc. I prefer to use a body butter or something heavier.
But for everyday use I find this to be perfect.

However, one thing I've noticed while using the St Ives Renewing Collagen & Elastin Body Lotion is that your skin only looks and feels hydrated while it's on. The minute it's washed off, my skin goes right back to feeling dry. Meaning, it doesn't help improve moisture levels over time. So I disagree with St ives' claims and all the reviews I saw that claimed it transformed their skin. After using this body lotion for several months, I can confirm that it makes no significant difference haha. Oh and I don't see any improvements in the appearance of my stretch marks either.

Cons
Hydration is temporary
No improvement in skin texture as claimed by St Ives
Would I recommend this?
If you have normal to dry skin, I definitely recommend the St Ives Renewing Collagen & Elastin Body Lotion if you're looking for an everyday body lotion! I know I'm repeating myself but I feel like the 620ml of product is very generous, considering how much it costs. However if you suffer with extremely dry, flaky skin, you're better off using a body butter paired with a body oil to finish.Thank you so much for reading my loves! You can check out my last post here. It was a review of the Luvesence Spanish Jasmine Body smoothie which is another recent body care favourite of mine.
Have a great day,
Zaha.
