Being a fan of Dove soap bars and shower cream I thought i would try the nourushing firming cream when my other brand ran out. At first try I didn't like the scent although I know that comes down to personal choices. The lotion is very thin,I thought this would help nourishment and absorption. It however left my skin very dry and gave me no nourishment at all. I applied it twice a day and did not notice any firming effects on my skin after using the entire bottle comoared to previous brands . I would not purchase this product again or recommend it to anyone.
The price is average and available at clicks for R52.95.

Dove Firming Nourishing Lotion with a toning effect. According to Dove, elasticity is key to making skin noticeably firmer and Dove Firming Nourishing Body Lotion is dedicated to doing just that. Its unique formulation combines rich nourishment and white tea extract, well known as an effective antioxidant, for an invigorating effect. Skin elasticity is boosted and skin is more toned only 24 hours after a single application. The unique Deepcare Complex includes skin natural nutrients and rich essential oil to help gradually improve skin starting deep down.

I received a 250ml bottle of the Dove Firming Nourishing Lotion with a toning effect from Beauty Bulletin to review. I did not use any other products in conjunction with this body lotion to ensure that I could trace the effects of this lotion. Below are my observations after use.

1st impressions: The body lotion has a slightly thin texture, which makes it a great summer lotion. It is a lightweight body lotion that absorbs quickly and easily into the skin without leaving any residue or the skin feeling clogged. On application, I could really feel the lotion sinking into my skin. Afterwards, my skin felt intensely moisturised and hydrated. It is lightly fragranced. However, I did not notice any toning effect during the 24 hours of first use.

After 3 weeks of use, I have not experienced any toning effect. There are many favours that come into play regarding skin elasticity and toning, e.g. diet, exercise, etc, working from the inside out. This lotion is supposed to work from the outside in. However, on me it does not produce any noticeable results. The Firming lotion is a great moisturiser for the warmer months because it is lightweight.

Skin is more toned only 24 hours after a single application. Thumbs up for this one!
