I've bought every firming cream on the shelf and quietly binned most of them. This is the first one where somebody else spotted the difference before I pointed it out.

Four weeks in, my husband asked what I'd been doing differently. I hadn't told him about it. The back of my thighs are genuinely smoother and the skin on my tummy feels tighter than it has since before my second.

It sinks in fast and doesn't wreck my sheets, which is the other reason I've actually stuck with it.

My problem with body oils has always been the twenty minutes of standing around in a towel afterwards. This one is absorbed and gone in under a minute — I put it on and get dressed.

Texture on my thighs has softened a lot over about six weeks. Not gone, softened, and I'd rather say that honestly. The glow is immediate though, and that part I noticed on night one.

Sounds silly written down but I hadn't worn anything short in about three years. The dimpling on the backs of my legs made me self-conscious enough that I just stopped.

Two months of using this nightly and I wore a slip dress to a wedding and didn't think twice about it. My legs catch the light instead of the shadows now.

Setting expectations because I nearly gave up. This is not overnight. The first week I felt softer but couldn't see anything different.

Around week three the texture on my hips genuinely started to change, and by week six it was obvious in photos. Four stars only because I wish the pump gave a slightly smaller dose — I waste a bit.

The crepey skin under my arms was the thing I actually hated, and every firming product I found warned you off using it anywhere that delicate.

This one is gentle enough that I use it under my arms nightly with no stinging at all. Six weeks and the texture there has smoothed out more than anything else I've tried.

Started with the 150ml to test it. Was through half of it in a fortnight because I kept using it everywhere, not just where I meant to.

Ordered the three-bottle bundle the same week. The smell is warm and gingery rather than that sickly sweet thing most body products do, and my partner has commented on it twice.

Eighteen months after my daughter and the loose, crepey skin across my lower stomach was still bothering me more than the weight ever did.

I'm about ten weeks in. It's not a flat stomach and I wasn't expecting one, but the skin itself feels firm and elastic and like my own skin again rather than something borrowed.

I'll be fair — I skipped a lot of nights in month one and saw almost nothing, then used it properly every night in month two and the difference was clear.

Consistency is the whole thing with this. It absorbs beautifully and doesn't mark clothes. Docking a star only because it took me a while to work that out.

This is a confidence thing more than a beauty thing, which I didn't expect to write in a review for body oil.

Three months of nightly use. The backs of my thighs and my bum are visibly smoother, and last week I left the lamp on. I hadn't done that in a long time. That's what it was worth to me.
