Strawberry Softening Gel Lotion

Not Moisturizing

Lightweight

Has a Sweet Scent

Scent Lasts Long

Pleasant Scent

feels refreshing

Easy to Apply

Easily Absorbed

Not Sticky

This product is a bit lacking in terms of hydration. If you're looking for more moisture, I'd recommend The Body Shop's Mango Whip Emulsion. While it feels a bit heavier than the Softening Gel Emulsion, it provides better hydration and still finishes without any stickiness. That's why I alternate between the two - using the Softening Gel Emulsion in summer and switching to the Mango Whip Emulsion in winter when my skin tends to be drier.

Not recommended for those with dry skin. You might not feel much hydration and could find it quite drying. For those with dry skin, I'd suggest the Mango Whip Emulsion instead. Personally, I also preferred the scent of the Mango Whip Emulsion.

Highly recommended for those with oily skin. It absorbs well into the skin without any stickiness, leaving a fresh feeling. Unlike typical emulsions that can feel tacky, this one applies smoothly. As someone with oily skin, I've noticed that after using this emulsion, the intervals between oil build-up on my skin have increased. I'm already on my third bottle!

스트로베리 소프트닝 젤 로션

If you apply this before your perfume, everyone you meet will compliment you on how amazing you smell!

Unfortunately, it lacks hydration. The scent is the only thing going for it, so I mix it with a deeply moisturizing emulsion when I apply it.

The fragrance is absolutely divine! The pump dispenser makes it so convenient to use. Plus, there's a safety pin-like feature that allows you to travel worry-free with it. So practical!

The hydration level is practically non-existent... It feels incredibly light even for summer use. There's no way you could use this in winter.

- The strawberry scent is quite strong. After applying it to your arms and legs post-shower, the entire room fills with a delightful strawberry aroma.
- It has a lightweight texture that absorbs well. It almost feels like you're applying an essence.

The ingredients aren't as good as I expected. While I didn't specifically get any back acne, I feel a bit uneasy about using it.

It smells absolutely delicious! When I apply this and walk around the house, my mom asks if I've been secretly snacking on something tasty and demands I share. The texture absorbs well, and the fragrance is just heavenly. Even though I received it as a gift, I personally want to purchase it for myself.

• Not recommended for dry skin
• This emulsion alone might not be sufficient during winter months

First purchased towards the end of winter 2019, then again in summer 2020! This is an emulsion I want to keep all to myself. It absorbs incredibly quickly, making it perfect for summer use!

• A formula that's not overly sticky
• A sweet strawberry fragrance
• A body emulsion ideal for summer use
• A design that hits the spot for strawberry enthusiasts

For those who dislike strong scents, The Body Shop's body emulsion product line might be a bit overwhelming. Even though I initially bought The Body Shop products because I liked the fragrance, later I started to think 'the scent is really strong'. However, this strawberry scent seemed to mellow out over time, which was nice!

The scent is truly 'delicious' as they say! After applying it to my body, I feel like I'm emanating a sweet and tangy aroma. It has a really sweet strawberry fragrance! The emulsion absorbs well, so I found it easy to apply. And because the scent is strong, I could smell the body emulsion even after getting dressed and going out. I think people who enjoy long-lasting fragrances will love this!

The scent might be polarizing. A friend who dislikes sweet fragrances said it made them feel a bit queasy. Also, the ingredients aren't the best. While it's not sticky, the hydration level is just so-so.

This body emulsion has such an adorable strawberry scent! When you apply it, the fragrance is so noticeable that everyone around you can smell it, and it even lingers in the room for a while. Highly recommended for strawberry scent lovers! The texture is quite gel-like, so it absorbs quickly without any stickiness.

For winter, The Body Shop has a separate line of thicker body butters. This one feels more like a hydrating emulsion - it's like a summer version of body lotion.

If you have extremely dry skin like me, you definitely won't be satisfied using this in winter.

For a light moisturizer, the scent lasts quite long and the hydration isn't bad, but it's not suitable for dry skin types in winter.

Texture: It feels refreshing! Like applying a hydrating emulsion to your body. There's hardly any stickiness, and it absorbs well, making application quick and easy.

Scent: The Body Shop is known for its fragrances, and this one doesn't disappoint. It has a really sweet, tangy strawberry scent. It might be a bit artificial, but if you love sweet scents, you'll probably enjoy this (I certainly do!).

Quantity: Because it's lightweight and absorbs well, you might go through it quickly. I recommend stocking up during The Body Shop's sales!

Ingredients: I have sensitive, atopic skin with some remaining eczema on my arms and sides. Even when my skin flares up and sometimes weeps, this product didn't sting or hurt at all! From my experience, it seems to be a fairly gentle product.

In my opinion, there weren't any downsides at all! I'm planning to buy it again and again once I finish each bottle.

The scent is amazing! I think the best thing about this product is its fragrance. If you love strawberry and sweet scents, you won't regret trying this. When I went out wearing it, my friend said I smelled like ice cream!

This isn't a moisturizer that provides enough hydration for dry skin, and the fragrance might trigger existing skin conditions.

I bought this solely to enhance the strawberry fragrance from the same brand. I'm glad I did because it smells delightful! Just like a strawberry tart! The scent lasts on the skin for about 4-5 hours. It's exactly what I was looking for!

I didn't find the hydration to be particularly impressive. However, I used it a few years ago, so things might have changed. The newer versions might have improved formulations.

The sweet and tangy strawberry scent is incredibly authentic, with over 90% similarity to real strawberries. The fragrance also lasts for a long time.
