  Pros

  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!

  Cons

  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.

  Tip

  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.

  Pros

  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.

  Cons

  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.
