I’m a fan of L’Occitane products so I was excited to try this one. I do love how nice this body cream feels on my skin. It glides on well and is very soft and absorbing. However, despite the claims I find on so many products of being visibly firmly, I never seem to see or notice a difference when I use creams and lotions that are supposed to be firmly. The same can be said for this product. However, I do love this cream and how moisturizing it is. The jar it comes in is beautiful too. And while the scent is not my favorite, it’s light and not over-bearing which is what I prefer.

I’ve been a L’Occitane fan for years. I’ve probably tried almost all of their products, including the fragrances, (ESPECIALLY the fragrances) soaps, hand and foot creams. I love that they do little packs, bags, and boxes with smaller travel sizes, so you can get travel sizes of all the products and find which work best for you. I could spend ages in a L’Occitane store. Obviously, when a L’Occitane store is not available (we don’t have one in our town) being able to order it online is very useful.
This i a hefty sized jar of body cream, made with Shea Butter, which is excellent, L’Occitane do have a tin of pure Shea Butter, which is a highly moisturising ingredient, and they do feature it in a lot of their products This Artichoke cream is no exception.
It’ a nice, beautifully presented heavy jar, that looks beautiful in my bathroom.
It smells gorgeous, applies easily, an soaks in beautifully. It feels rich and luxurious, because it is. I don’t skimp on moisturizer whether it’s face or body, because I’m at that age where i really need it, and we have very dry air here. Hydration from the inside and the outside are both important.
So despite the price (and it’s not that excessive) i do recommend it.

This review is for the L’OCCITANE Artichoke Body Cream: Redefining and Cellulite-Reducing, Visibly Firmer Skin, Improve Skin Microcirculation, Intense Hydration, Artichoke Leaf Extract, 7 Oz
I looooooove the L’occitane brand! (Prounded ‘LOCKS-i-tan’ IIRC), a higher-end French beauty brand. I generally love their hand creams and anything lavender scented. This is neither of those, so I don’t have another L’occitane product specifically to compare it to. I can say, it’s the first beauty product of ANY type that promotes the incredient, the Artichoke. I do love artichoke flowers! And well, this is nothing like that, but I do love this cream as well.
IMO the price is too high, for its purported benefit that I personally have not yet noticed any difference with (cellulite management). Despite that, I love the subtle fragrance and the cream feels very nice on my skin – not greasy or oily, and it did not leave any residue on my sheets.
It also comes in super high-end / luxury-looking packaging. It’s probably the first body cream I’ve ever purchased that comes in a glass jar! FANCY! But…be careful if keeping it in the bathroom if you have pets / kids / clumsy partner (or if you happen to be the clumsy partner), since dropping this on a ceramic tile floor in the bathroom is gonna make a HUGE mess. Don’t ask me how I know… But that’s not their fault, and factors not at all to my review rating. Really, the minus 1 star is because of the price and lack of true benefit after a week of use, with comparing left to right thigh for any sort of skin texture differences.
Speaking of cellulite, while this is perfectly presented for a gift, I think it’d be a hard sell to give to mom for mother’s day, as you’re saying “hey mom, I love you, I want to get you a fancy gift, but I also think you need help with your cellulite”? Tread careful…
Unrelated to my review, but just FYI, mine did come with the top foil partially off, allowing for a small amount of spillage. I did not factor this into my rating whatsoever.

I recently lost weight so I’ve been looking for some options that could help with managing the loose skin and cellulite that has developed. I love artichoke and using natural type products so I was willing to give this one a try. Though I love the shape of the jar and the weight of it, the product itself I’m not a huge fan of. It is nice and creamy so it goes on smoothly but it leaves a bit of a stickiness behind. And I really don’t like the smell, at all. I tried using it multiple times, but the smell was just too much for me.

I like L’ Occitane products. This was up there with the others. This cream softens my skin and moisturizes it. I use it mostly at night and I can tell my skin feels softer in the morning. I have not seen any firming results after a few weeks though. I am not crazy about the scent. I have other products by this company that smell wonderful, especially their lavender fragrances. This does not have that same fragrance at all. This has been the biggest drawback. I don’t hate the scent but I wear this at night because I prefer a nicer scent in the daytime.

I had L’Occitane shea butter cream and it was divine, gorgeous, luxe. It felt amazing on my skin and I could really feel the moisturizing effects, especially on my feet.
This one however isn’t as deeply moisturizing. I didn’t purchase it for ‘cellulite reducing’ as that really is not going to work, y’all — you may have temporary results but they’ll go away and soon. Not sure about the ‘firming’ claims either but it certainly does feel as if it is hydrating my skin.
However, the scent is strange and a little off-putting for me. I liked the shea butter scent (if memory serves it at least wasn’t off-putting) but this one isn’t for me.
The jar is nice enough to leave out on a countertop or bedside table and can be reused.
This isn’t a big jar so just be aware of that this is 7 ounces. The shea butter was so thick and creamy that it lasted me a long time as a little went a long way. This one is a little thinner so a little more will have to be used.
While this is a lovely cream, I prefer the shea butter, so I wouldn’t order this artichoke cream again.
