Dr Botanicals Lemon Superfood all-in-one Rescue Butter - review

Dr Botanicals Lemon Superfood all-in-one Rescue Butter is a new entry in the Minis Collection, a range of natural skincare and body care packed in tiny tubes. This butter is a hydrating treatment for body and face and comes in Dr Botanicals’ signature 50-ml tubes in a shiny, deep yellow shade and its unique design inspired by periodic table elements. It’s small enough to fit perfectly into your handbag and hand luggage but big enough for months of applications... 

Dr Botanicals Lemon Superfood all-in-one Rescue Butteris an intensive and multipurpose hydrating treatment for face and body and aims to nourish even the roughest and driest areas of your body. It’s 96% natural, and its main ingredient islemongrass oil known for its antiseptic and soothing properties. The formula is cruelty-free and vegan, enriched with glycerine, coconut, grape seeds, sunflower, sweet almond and sea buckthorns fruit oils. Its texture is a spreadable and airy butter - cream in colour - which melts with your body warmth and gets absorbed while you massage it. It feels so refresh and lightweight onto the skin! 

The scent of the new Lemon Superfood Rescue Butter is super fresh and energising thanks to the natural citrusy fragrance from the lemongrass oil. Think of a lemon sherbet or a lemon meringue: that’s the note you will sniff. 

Thedr Botanicals Lemon Superfood all-in-one Rescue Butter is an all-over intensive product. It can be used as aface moisturiser, a body balm but also as a lip salve, a face cleanser and a deeply nourishing treatment for very dehydrated and cracked areas such as elbows and knees. Instructions on how to use this lemony butter as a balm are quite obvious - just squeeze, massage and enjoy - while as a face cleanser: apply a good amount on dry face, massage; then remove it with a cotton pad and rinse it off.

Don’t get fooled by the name or get disappointed after this news: dr Botanicals Lemon Superfood Rescue Butter contains no lemons. Its name connects this product to freshness and positive vibes from this citrus fruit. I prefer using it as my ultimate body butter, especially on my knees, elbow, hands and cuticles, and asalip balm. It gives instant relief from dryness and itchiness. This butter has been a real surprise on my pout: it’s agreeable like a flavoured lip balm but more moisturising than any lip oils which are a total hype at the moment.

Dr Botanicals Lemon Superfood all-in-one Rescue Butter is available online at 9.90£ (regular price is 14.90£) which a perfect match for the product. I’m not using it as a face moisturiser because it lacks SPF and I use as lip balm solely at night; however, the combination with Dr Botanicals Coffee Superfood Renewing Facial Exfoliator is brilliant (reviewed here). I think it’s too intense for a face cleanser - especially on combination and oily skin type - nevertheless, it’s a must-have for your body! 

The handy packaging and the delicious scent makes it a lovely travel companion: I haven’t left once since I have first tried it and had it with me during my London arty trip. I feel uplifted and frizzy like a ripe lemon even thou it’s... lemongrass!
