Hello! I'm a typical girl that loves shopping for makeup, shoes and clothes, I model part time and work in a shop part time. Because I model I'm very choosey about what I buy, it needs to be good! So hopefully you'll find my reviews helpful :)

I've been using this stuff for a few years now and I love it :) I first bought some from Body Care when I was killing time and smelling all moisturisers in the shop (...like you do) and I stumbled across this little beauty! My first thoughts were 'this smells like chocolate truffles!!' which is a good thing, I read the front - 'Smoothes marks - tones skin' which I needed, being at that age where stretch marks were really starting to show, plus I had a few scars I wanted to cover up.
The back says - 'Palmers cocoa butter, enriched with vitamin E, is an advanced moisturiser that softens, smoothes and relieves dry skin. Also helps smooth and blend unattractive marks and scars. An excellent after tanning butter. Widely recommended for stretch marks, during and after pregnancy. Use daily for a soft, youthful appearance.'
So what more could you want? Its great on stretch marks, scars, dry skin, uneven skin tone, etc. Fanstatic stuff!! It wasn't very expensive either, about £3.50 at the time so I decided to buy it.
The bottle its in has an unscrew lid but the top of that presses open so it pops up a little at the side so its easy to just squeeze the moisturiser out. Unfirtunately it sometimes gets clogged with dry moisturiser but thats simple enough to sort out.
The moisturiser itself -
The first time I used this I thought it was amazing! It smells sooo good!! It goes on easy and blends in quickly too. Skin feels really soft afterwards. Sometimes, like if its a hot night and you use this it can feel a bit sticky for longer, but usually it absorbs quickly!
After using it a while -
Okay so after I had been using it a few weeks I did start to notice a difference!! Between the ages of 15-16 I had put on a bit of weight and had got quite bad stretch marks on my legs and hips because of this. But after I had been using this they had definately started to lighten!! I had them on the backs of my knees that have now vanished from using this fantastic moisturiser! The ones on my hips have faded to little silvery lines, hardly noticable and most of the stretch marks on my thighs have disappeared, faded to little silvery lines or tiny little pink lines. I think the result is pretty fantastic considering how they looked to start with!
Scars - The scars on my legs have pretty much faded to tiny little white marks now too. I used to use this on rejected surface piercings or rejected navel piercings and they've faded from dark reddish pink to white.
This stuff definately works on scars and stretch marks. I've been using it for the last 2 years and I'll probably carry on using it for ages yet or until theres something better (doubtful for the same price) Plus, it smells like chocolate!! Its great :)

Advantages: Great creamy,thick texture. Good purchase price. Last along time, the smell of the product! Disadvantages: As the bottle gets towards empty it is difficult to get the last bits of cream out
