I rarely go for gimmicky products like this, as I just think if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But you can never have enough moisturisers, so I gave it a go. The Vaseline Spray n Go claims to 'moisturise deeply and absorb in seconds to leave skin instantly soft, not greasy or sticky'.
It has a more watery texture than other moisturisers, which does mean it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave an oily residue. However, this does make me question whether it just leaves you with that temporary soft-skin feeling, rather than moisturising deeply. The scent is also nice, I chose the Cocoa, but it doesn't linger for long unlike other moisturisers. The one thing that is a huge bonus with this is that you can easily moisturise those hard to reach areas like your back, which I very often neglect out of not being double-jointed.
If I am honest, I wouldn't have paid full price for this at £4.99. Yes it is convenient, but it's only 190ml. My staple moisturisers are the Soap & Glory at £10.00 and 500ml which yes is double the price, but more than double the product. I had read a fair amount of rave reviews about this product, and after using it, I wouldn't rave about it. Most of the reviews were 'lazy' when it came to moisturising, which just isn't me. Maybe it's because I shower and moisturise at night, and because I'm a sedentary student that I usually have an abundance of time to get ready, so don't have the problem of needing to 'Spray n Go'. Maybe when I finish university and enter real world, this might be my new best friend, who knows?
Have you tried the Vaseline Spray n Go?
I have this in Aloe Vera & Cocoa Butter and I wasn't that impressed! I'll be sticking to The Righteous Butter! xx

The Righteous Butter is my holy grail too! These just didn't cut it in comparison.

I haven't bought this product and I think it's for the same reasons as you.. that it seems a bit watery and I'm a student who does have the time to moisturise! And it seems so expensive for what it is..! xxx
ReplyDeleteI brought this product but didn't think too much about it, found it wasn't as quick as it states, I'm using it up but I don't think I will repurchase :) xx

Same with me, I am trying to use it up, but someone commented that I smelt like chocolate. Which I'm not sure is a good thing! xo
DeleteI completely agree with this, definitely not worth the price or the hype! Lovely post! x

Hmm, this product looks really interesting, and I agree with you, it looks gimicky. The problem is that you still have to spray it and make an effort to use the product, which you would have to do with normal moisturisers too, so I'm not sure how it even saves any time?
ReplyDeleteGreat review lovely :)

That's so true, it would have taken me no more time to scoop out some of my body butter instead..
DeleteThank you :) xo
Thanks for the review, I've been curious about the product myself but figure if you're too lazy to rub in your lotion than you've got bigger problems. LOL www.thefitknitter.com
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting this for ages but cant bring myself round to paying that much for it ! it doesn't seem that it would last as long as normal ones :) xx
