"Unfortunately gave me a reaction"
This product just didn't agree with me. The smell is lovely & the rich butter glides onto my bump, but since using it I came out in a bumpy rash across my stomach. It's a real shame as I enjoyed using the product, but it just didn't work for me on my pregnant skin.

"Would definitely recommend"
When I first opened this I thought it wasn't going to be very easy to use but once you have some on your hands it rubs onto the tummy easily, doesn't come off on clothes and has a lovely smell :-)
I have stretchmarks from previous pregnancies but after using this I don't appear to have gained anymore.

"Great product"
I have been using this tummy butter for a few weeks now and love it. The butter is quite firm and waxy when it first comes out of the tub but once it has been warmed in your hands, it rubs into your tummy really smoothly and leaves a great smell of cocoa butter.
I already have stretch marks from my first pregnancy but by using this butter, I don't seem to have gained any more and have noticed my original stretch marks to be less obvious.
I think this product is good value for money, it does what it says on the tin and you get quite a large quantity for the price. Even after using it every day for a few weeks, I still have a lot left. I would definately pay £5 for it.

"Fantastic smell and a great moisturiser!!"
I really loved this tummy butter because it smells fantastic and it’s easy to apply. I have been using the product for 2 weeks and I have definitely noticed a difference in the smoothness of my skin and my skin tone seems to be improving now also.
I got stretch marks when I was pregnant with my daughter 2 years ago and they still hadn't gone so I was amazed that after using the Cocoa tummy butter now they have started to fade - just goes to show it's never too late!
I highly recommend this product and will be telling my friends about it! I also plan on continuing to use it so that I can try to get rid of all my stretch marks.

"Not bad"
I love the smell of the Cocoa butter, and it seems to go a long way - I think the pot will last me quite a while. I used a different product during my first pregnancy, so having compared the two I would say the downside to Palmer's Cocoa butter is that it didn't seem to sink into the skin quite as well and by the next morning (when applying overnight) as it the skin was still a bit sticky. Having said that I will continue to use it in the hope that it keeps further stretch marks from appearing...!

"Love it !"
Very good value for money as it is a large pot !
As others have said it has a stong scent but all palmers products do,it is quite difficult to get the butter our of the tub could maybe do with soe sort of spatula !
I would only advise to use this at night as it is quite greasy but is amazing on the skin,every morning I wake up to a super soft tummy !!
I got my stetchmarks from my other 2 pregnancies but dont seem to have gained any with this one,lets hope this butter keeps them away !
It is VERY moisturising and does what it says on tub !
I think its going to last ages and if it does run out I will be buying some more.
Would recommend to everyone,fab product !

"Good moisturising effect"
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter comes in a generously-sized jar. It has a nice aroma (a tad too strong for my personal taste, as I prefer cosmetics with a more subtle smell, but nevertheless pleasant if you love cocoa butter products). I am now 37 weeks pregnant and used this butter for the last couple of weeks instead of my usual cocoa butter stick from a different brand.
It is very easy to apply, and it has very good moisturising effect. In fact my tummy still feels moist after several hours. I use it before going to bed, and probably wouldn't use it during the day, as it doesn't absorb quickly and a lot of it goes on the clothes. I am very affected by the itching at this stage of my pregnancy and this butter helps to some extent to reduce itching on my tummy. On the whole, it offers a good value for money, and it does a good job of moisturising.

"Luxurious Intensive Moisturising For Your Bump "
I am currently 29 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby. Although I haven't got any stretch marks from any of my pregnancies (I put this down to using another variety of Palmers Cocoa butter throughout my other three pregnancies). It was nice to try another variety from the Palmers range.
The Palmer's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter came in a round flat tin with a screw on lid (Making it harder for toddlers to open and spread around my living room, an added bonus).
When I opened the tub the butter was quite hard and had a waxy feel to it. Although it was quite difficult to scoop some out of the tub when it was warmed up in my hands it felt really lovely and smooth. It felt even better as I rubbed it into my bump. I loved the luxurious soft feeling after I had used it. The butter really gave my tummy a great moisture boost which lasted quite a long time (over two days) that really surprised me.
The butter has a really sweet smell which I found was quite overpowering at first. It smelt like I was rubbing caramel on my stomach. This soon faded a bit and I was left with a pleasant milder sweet smelling fragrance.
Before trying the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter I started with an intense dry itching on my stomach. The butter really helped adding extra needed moisture and I haven't experienced this since.
At £5.14 I think Palmer's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter is good value for money as when you use it you don't need to use a lot to get the moisture and you need plus a little bit of the butter seems to go a long way.
An excellent product from a very reliable company, which I will certainly enjoy using and would recommend to anyone.

"Absolutely Fab!"
when i opened the package, the first thing i did was open the tub and smell it. i use other palmers products and absolutly love the smell!
after just 2 uses at bed time i showed my mum my stretch marks and she said "they've faded"
unlike other products i've used i can tell it doesnt just rub off on my clothes because even the next morning my belly still feels moist from the butter.
needless to say i'm more than happy with the results of this product, not only have i noticed a difference in my stretch marks but other people agree, i love the smell and the texture of it too!
