Testing the Lansinoh Calming Bedtime Butter
This Calming Bedtime Butter went down a treat with our testers. One mum told us: "My toddler absolutely loved using my cream, it was really nice to be able to use the same product... It feels lovely and thick and luxurious on my skin and the smell is really nice and calming". The skin benefits just keep coming, with another telling us that "it feels very smooth and smells beautiful," revealing "I love how soft my skin feels after using this amazing product!"
Not only does this cream moisturise your skin, it also increases relaxation and provides a super calming atmosphere when used. "The calming bedtime butter is exactly that - a thick, luxurious cream which has a beautiful relaxing fragrance," reports one mum. A happy tester also told us: "I use this calming butter after every shower and bath as it just leaves my skin super soft - I even used it on my baby after his first bath and it really helped him sleep better."
"The product is very creamy and rich, and smells beautiful! I’ve been suffering with leg cramps and restless legs during pregnancy, and rubbing this cream into my legs before bed has definitely helped me sleep more peacefully!" described one satisfied mum. It's good to hear that the scent is appealing - as one parent told us, "often I feel sleepy products have a slightly mouldy smell to them, this doesn’t and that would encourage me to use it in the future."
Not only are the contents clearly appealing, but the pot itself also got great reviews. One happy tester mentioned that it had "beautiful packaging" and "you get a huge 200ml tub filled to the very top". Another revealed that "it is a really good size therefore good value for money. When I first opened it I could instantly smell the lavender which was very soothing. The lid is easy to get on and off and the product was filled to the top without any spillage."
Final verdict
Overall, this cream really did its job and impressed our testers on all fronts. One parent summed it up very well, telling us: "The Lansinoh Calming Bedtime Butter because an essential part of my pregnancy self care routine, especially into my third trimester when I was suffering from a sore back. The cream was used to aid the massage which it was great for". We'd definitely recommend it to any mums looking to add something new to their skincare routine!
