Review: Perlier Lemon Crackling Body Water

Next up on the review block is something that has been long awaited for! Ok, maybe not, the product has been waiting though!

I received via, iFabbo, Perlier Lemon Crackling Body Water. What attrached me to this is simply the word, crackling. How can water possibly crackle? Not to mention it's suppose to moisturize the skin? Huh?

Through HSN though, this is actually referred to Perlier Lemon Sorbet Refreshing Ice Granita. So, hopefully there's no confusion. It's the same product, just different names.

It's summertime. You're sweltering. All you want is a cool, refreshing sorbet. How about indulging in a little sorbet sweetness — for your skin? Exuding an exhilarating scent, this granita is the perfect summertime skincare refreshment.

Product: The product comes in a white can that has the green and white striped label that runs almost the length of the can, and wraps around. The cap itself is a frosted plastic cap that fits snug on top. The amount of crackling ice or water you get inside is 5fl oz. or 150ml. The nozzle itself under the cap is what I like to call a combo of a spray nozzle and a pump nozzle, with a wide, square opening for the product to come from.

Directions: This is actually simple, I for one never put it in the refridgerator to chill it as it remains cool enough for me without. But all you do is squirt a little bit on to your hands, arms and/or legs and watch the magic!

Product: The product itself is interesting. It comes out much like how hair mouse does. It foams up, but it continues to crackle. The liquid part does run though. When you start to rub the product in, that's where the fun starts! The product, crackles even more. Think pouring water into a VERY hot sauce pan. It sounds like it sizzles.

Scent: Lemon-y. There is a definite lemon scent. At first it reminded me of lemon pledge, but not quite. The lemon scent doesn't linger long on the skin though.

Overall Verdict: While the whole crackling is just awesome, this is definitely a product I would reach for when the weather was overly hot. It is definitely refreshing as it remains cool in the can. Once the product is rubbed into the skin, it has a slight stickiness to it that slowly disappears into the skin. It could just be me, but I do feel an ever so slight residue from it. I couldn't see myself forgoing my hand lotion for this though. It is definitely fun and truth be told, the sound drives my dog mad.
