Agave Velvety Moisturizer by Yves Rocher Recommended by Whom You Know

Dermatologically tested.

The first thing I look for in a moisturizer is the perfect balance between scent and performance. I hate that sticky gooey feeling many lotions leave on your skin. Yet those sometimes have the best scent. So I was happily pleased to try Yves Rocher Agave Moisturizer. Perfectly scented without being over bearing leaving my skin smelling fresh-I was delighted.  The lotion was true to what they said “velvety” to the touch and just luscious to lather on. It was rather addicting and I found myself making sure I did not miss a spot. My skin which is tanned at the moment looked alive and rejuvenated. It lost that leathery effect that the sun can have on you if you do not hydrate your tanned skin. Overall a wonderful product from the highly respected Yves Rocher!


So after using the Yves Rocher body scrub, I absolutely had to use one my favorite moisturizers of all time! I say that because it is truly appealing to my skin and I am so glad that I got it in addition to the scrub. It is made from agave sap, which is known for its hydrating qualities. It also contains konjac gum which is responsible for leaving my skin so velvety smooth! I have to tell you how amazing my skin feels after applying this lotion. It’s like soaking in a cool, hydrating bathtub of moisturizer. No kidding. My skin is immediately refreshed and smooth as a baby’s bottom. Of course, when you use it with the Yves Rocher agave scrub its effects are increased. However, I definitely recommend using this whenever you get the chance because your skin will thank you for it. 



My biggest complaint about body moisturizers is that they leave a greasy or "wet" feeling after it is applied.  The Agave Sap by Yves Rocher soaks into my skin. The fragrance is wonderful, and it is extremely light weight, making this perfect for summer! My skin feels refreshed and moisturized!  Unbelieveable velvety to the touch, I love it!  You will love not only the way your skin feels but more importantly your refreshing  scent.  It lingered all day for me, which in a hot summer in nyc, is really important.The packaging is super as well. A lot of times I notice that it is difficult to get moisturizer out of a pump style package, so I tend to lean towards open bottles. This has a nice, open bottle, which allows you to access all of the remaining lotion once you are towards the end of the product.
 
Yves Rocher Agave Moisturizer makes my skin feel like butter. I have been looking for a great smelling and hard working body lotion for a long time. I'm finally happy to say that this is it! This lotion is my favorite! I have dry skin in general but this lotion really helps me have that nice soft skin that I naturally don't have. The smell is so soft and sweet I just can't get enough! I really love that the lotion isn't thick and greasy. Thanks to this lotion I have been getting many compliments on how soft my skin is - WOOHOO! Oh and not to mention the moisture lasts all day long. You don't have to worry about reapplying!

Yves Rocher’s new BODY CARE line has its roots in
the Yves Rocher Botanical Garden in La Gacilly, France,
the knowledge centre for plants.
Created in 1977 and a member of the JBF (Jardins Botaniques de France et pays
francophones) and the BGCI (Botanical Garden Conservation International), the
Yves Rocher Botanical Garden is the embodiment of the Brand’s knowledge of
plants and its respect of biodiversity.
Its mission:
• To preserve and perpetuate plants: a veritable conservatory that contains 1,100 plant species
useful to mankind. Every year newly discovered or re-discovered varieties are added
to the collection.
• To research: a place to observe and experiment, the Botanical Garden allows the
Brand to study growing conditions and improve on plant varieties in partnership with
agronomy centres.
• To educate and inform: open to the public year round, the garden is a living showcase
of what the plant world can offer humankind in our day-to-day lives.
Listed in Michel Racine’s Guide des Jardins de France (a guide to gardens in France),
the Yves Rocher Botanical Garden was awarded the highest rating in the “gardens worth
the trip” category. 
Yves Rocher’s Commitment
