20 Best Body Lotion For Aging Skin Over 60 (2023 Updated)

Gave my confidence back and I feel like it saved my life. I’ve never had skin problems, so imagine at 41 how I freaked out as I woke up one morning and out of nowhere my face, legs, buttocks, arms, back, breast and stomach were all inflamed and itching uncontrollably.

For days I used calamine lotion and other topicals to stop the itching and flare ups. Washed everything and cleaned the entire room. About 4 days later I finally stopped itching and now everywhere the flare ups were, there were now dark black patches.

Days later they started developing on my face and dark circles underneath my eyes. My entire forehead and both cheeks were tight and shiny like leather. The feel was completely different from the other spots all over my body.

I was at a loss for words. No idea where this came from but it had to be some allergic reaction. I had just gotten over pneumonia that lasted 2 months. So maybe this was a side effect. I’ve read that some rare cases cause skin condition but why the week I was cleared from having it.

So maybe that wasn’t it! Anyway I applied lotion 3-4 times a day and Vaseline numerous times a day only to have small relief from the chaffing and tightness of the spots last only about 2 hours. Valentine’s weekend my fiancé had planned a vacation to Orlando, little does he know I wanted to cancel.

I was afraid the sun and hear would only make it worse and afraid that he would look at me differently. I reluctantly went alone using Vaseline on my face every few hours and kept my body covered wearing pants.

After 3 days, I said that’s enough I have to do something about this that’s different. Had him to stop by Walmart and went in and analyzed the products. Googled as I was in the store and settled on Cerave Moisturizing Cream and Cerave healing ointment.

Went to the hotel room a shower and applied the ointment to my face and Moisturizing Cream on my body. Telecaster again that night and the next morning you wouldn’t believe the difference it made. Plus it lasted for hours.

I continued this regimen and 30 hours later the leather on my face was no longer there it was only a small amount of chaff. My body was also healing and the dry patches weren’t nearly as dry. I continued for 3 more days and my face was now completely normal, so I switched to using the moisturizing cream with just a dab of ointment on my face for a couple more days then resulted to just Moisturizing Cream for my face and body.

2 weeks later, I’ve still seen nothing but improvements and my skin clearing up. The old skin where all the dark spots were and chaffed spots are now almost completely peeled and replaced with new skin.

Healthy, radiant and bright like before. I will continue using Cerave and researching their other products and see what’s the best way to maintain even after I’m completely in the clear from this. Cerave has given me the confidence I needed back and I am a lifetime supporter!.

Amazing cream! I use this in place of a night cream or on days that my skin feels dry and needs an extra boost. It’s highly moisturising and non irritating, which is perfect for sensitive skin. Love that there is no unnecessary added fragrance either.

Can be used on both your body and face. It’s one of those products that actually does what it says and works so much better than high end products. If you follow Dr Dray on Youtube then you will already know that she also recommends this cream a lot as well, especially for people using retinoids.

I’ve been applying it alongside my Differin gel to combact dryness from it’s use. After washing my face, I rub in a thin layer of this cream onto my damp skin (to lock in moisture) and follow with Differin after it’s dry.

Using it in this way as suggested by Dr Dray reduces the risk of irritation, but still allows the retinoid to be effective. Even if you are using it on it’s own, the Cerave Cream will work brilliantly to soothe and soften your dry skin.

It has great ingredients including ceramides which improve skin hydration. I have dehydrated combination skin and this has helped so much to repair my skin barrier along with following a good skincare routine.

You really have to try it to believe it!.

Newly diagnosed with contact dermatitis, primarily a sensitivity to ingredients in fragrance. The moisturizing, ceramides, and lack of fragrance and harsh additives makes this a life saver. When not in an active reaction, I use a more oily skin friendly moisturizer in the mornings, and this moisturizer at night; let the ceramides do their thing overnight after cleansing.

When I’m in a reaction and my skin is sensitive, itchy, bumpy, red, &/or peeling, this is my morning, night, and occasionally mid-day moisturizer. The application of CeraVe followed by Vaseline has saved my skin.

It not only keeps my skin moisturized so it can heal itself, rather than drying out and peeling to heal over several weeks like it does when using only allergy medications and my regular moisturizer, but the CeraVe alone (let alone in combination with Vaseline) seems to create a degree of barrier between my skin and irritants; I have very different reactions to being around certain household chemicals while using this moisturizer than prior.

+ No fragrance added and very little scent from the ingredients. Highly moisturizing, but it doesn’t make me break out like some very moisturizing products do. – If you are visibly oil prone, this may not be the daily/morning moisturizer for you, unless you have a good regimen to combat oil.

I bought a cerave cleanser a while back that came with a sample of lotion that was just labeled “moisturizing lotion”. I did a number on my face overusing a harsh active ingredient and needed something gentle while it healed.

I pulled out the little sample bottle of moisturizing lotion I’d had in the drawer forever and started using it, only to realize that I LOVED it. It sank into my skin immediately, made it feel hydrated but not gunky, AND it’s one of the few products I’ve ever used that hydrated my undereyes in a way that made them look smoother and less crinkly.

I thought I’d found my holy grail face moisturizer in an inexpensive multipurpose lotion. I just went to buy more and all I could find was this one, labeled “daily moisturizing lotion”. The new version is NOTHING like the old one, feels greasier, doesn’t absorb or hydrate as well as the old one, leaves a film, and does nothing for my undereyes where the old one was amazing.

I don’t see why companies have to ruin a perfectly good product that people love and replace it with a worse one. Please bring the old formula back!.

There isn’t anything particularly wrong with this lotion, but nothing spectacular enough to warrant the price. I don’t have sensitive skin, so maybe it would be worth it to those who do. The formula is lightweight, almost watery/gel like in texture.

It almost has a cooling effect to it. It rubs in easily and absorbs quickly leaving no greasy feeling or stickiness. It makes my skin feel very smooth, more so smooth than soft. I think this is best suited for use during warm weather, it is not moisturizing enough for dry winter skin.

It is unscented, which many prefer. I don’t often wear perfume, so I usually like my lotions to have fragrance, but it is nice to have at least one without. I like the flat shape of the packaging, I feel like it takes up less room in my cabinet.

This is a nice lotion for sure, I just feel like there are more plenty of similar/better products on the market for less money. I like it enough to finish my bottle but will not buy it again.

I love how hydrating and lightweight this lotion is. It absorbs quickly into the skin, without leaving a greasy feeling. My skin is incredibly dry during the winter months. My shins look like a shedding snake and the skin between my fingers is always red and cracked.

However, that hasn’t been the case this winter, all thanks to this lotion. A quick whiff of the bottle and you’d think you’re slathering yourself up with silly putty. However, once it’s out in the open, the smell is more like a faint almond and far more tolerable.

The scent dissipates quickly, too. The moisturizing benefits are 100% worth the temporary “meh” smell.

Ok ladies and gents, time to review more #DrunkElephant ! I received these samples from #Sephora. I really appreciate the philosophy that Drunk Elephant promotes so I was very excited to try these. In case you’re not familiar with Drunk Elephant, they formulate all of there products without 6 ingredients that they call #suspicious6.

The following 6 ingredients, Drunk Elephant believes are at the root of all skin issues. -Essential Oils -Drying Alcohols -Silicones -Chemical Sunscreens -Fragrances/Dyes -SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) There products are also PH balanced to enhance biocompatibility.

And they make donations to the International Elephant Foundation. The Sili Body Lotion had your average lotion consistency. ( Not a bad thing) The lotion also smells of sweet almond oil. It does not smell as strong as the body cleanser but the smell does stick with you for a little bit.

I put this on before bed and in the morning my skin still felt very soft and hydrated. This would be a great lotion if it had a different scent. I hope everyone had a great weekend! #vibrouge #cleanskincare #sephorafreesample #phbalancedskincare #kamilicreambodycleanser #silibodylotion #sweetalmondoil.

I’ve been using this for the last 4 weeks and feel I’ve given it enough time to work its magic on the three areas of concern I wanted to test it out on – cellulite, dry skin and stretch marks. The cream itself comes in a very heavy and luxurious glass jar and has a unusual consistency in that it’s quite solid, almost like a body butter, but once it softens in contact with your skin, it becomes really easy to apply.

Very little to any residue is left behind which is quite remarkable for something that starts out so solid and rich. The ingredients list is surprisingly simple compared to other brands at this price point.

All but one of the ingredients (the brands’ patented Tfc-8) is familiar to me. So what did I notice at the end of the 4 weeks? No difference on stretch marks, unfortunately. The cellulite on the back of my thighs did see a slight improvement, perhaps 20%, but I still find using left over coffee granules as a scrub in the shower more effective.

As for dry skin – well this is one area where I found a good deal of benefit. Unlike many other moisturizers I’ve used, the hydrating effect with this one lasted the entire day. If I use this in the morning on my arms which are moderately dry, they are still soft by the time I go to bed, meaning I don’t need to re-apply on a night.

Other body moisturizers which have been great at hydrating have done so at the expense of an oily after feel, whereas this one sinks right in. ~ My Sephora Top 7 must-have list ~ (My top 7 must-have beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Sephora) 1.

Hair Loss Treatment: ‘Divine Herbal’ – Hair Oil 2. Shampoo: ‘Sephora Collection’ – Deep Cleaning Shampoo 3. Face Mask: ‘Peter Thomas Roth’ – Pumpkin Enzyme Mask 4. Pigmentation + Anti-Aging Serum: ‘Divine Herbal’ – Facial Treatment Serum 5.

Face Scrub: ‘Sisley’ – Botanical Gentle Buffing Cream 6. Lip Balm: ‘Nuxe’ – Reve De Miel Lip Balm 7. Lip Liner: ‘Sephora Collection’ – Rouge Gel Lip Liner.

I like this body cream but I have a serious problem with this product pilling or rolling off. It’s very thick. I thought maybe I’m not applying correctly so I tried experimenting with different things to get it to properly absorb but had no luck.

I apply it right out of the shower after toweling off while my pores are still open. Ive tried exfoliating first, ive tried while my skin is still moist, ive tried while my skin is bone dry, ive tried using a toner on my body before I apply, ive tried using less product, ive tried using more product, ive tried using all different types of body washes first, I DONT mix or layer it with any other products… the only time it won’t pill is when I barely rub it on my skin, but then it just sits on top and rubs off on my sheets and clothes.

My skin just doesn’t absorb this product. I wish it did because I think the technology behind it is pretty good. It does make my skin very soft and I think it effectively protects the skins moisture barrier however, I’m skeptical about its effects on cellulite which is the main reason I bought it.

I understand the price point only because this company clearly spends a lot on marketing, packaging and obviously research and development… I’m just not sure I can justify buying any more jars of a cream my skin won’t absorb.

This is quite a thick textured cream similar to any ceramide cream. My skin is dry and dehydrated and it absorbed much better than expected leaving no residue at all, which is a plus as you can get dressed straight after applying.

However for me that is the only real benefit of this cream, yes my skin felt soft after applying but for my dehydrated skin after using for a few weeks it wasn’t hydrating enough. I used this exclusively on one area for over a month and sadly it made no difference to my skin in terms of anti aging etc for this price I would expect to see a difference in my skin at least in terms of extra hydration.

Very disappointed with this cream overall there are much more effective options available at a much lower price point. I have switched back to my usual body lotion and my skin looks better already.

I had the dryest hands on earth all my life. After laying a brick floor, I could have sanded wood with my bare hands, they were so wrecked. I needed gloves to even approach any tights or stockings that I wanted to wear.

Goat milk lotion helped, but was expensive and hard to find, and continually needed to be reapplied. I looked online for the highest rated hand cream, and the only highly rated one at a decent price from my local walgreens was Eucerin Advanced Repair, so I bought it.

I wish I could post before and after pictures, because this stuff worked miracles on my hands and even my dry and shredded skin around my nails. I cannot recommend this stuff highly enough, I have never seen such a difference.

I had been using cheaper lotions which I suspect made the dryness worse, which worked immediately, but shortly left my hands dryer than before. But Eucerin did the trick, and permanently. I don’t have to even use it very often now.

I am amazed.

My hands are chronically rough to the touch. My palms are always rough and NOTHING would ever get rid of it. I’ve even tried plain Vaseline, and while my hands were very moisturized, my palms were still rough and calloused.

That was when I learned about exfoliating moisturizers, like this Eucerin hand cream. It was exactly what my hands needed! The urea and lactic acid in this product are great humectants and chemical exfoliators.

In just one use, my hands were touchably softer and smoother. With consistent use, my rough palms are 90% better! And a bonus perk, I don’t mind greasy moisturizers, but this is VERY NOT greasy! Not sure what all these other reviewers are talking about.

Also, it’s SUPER cheap! What’s not to love? 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!.

I oversee the care of the body, paying attention no less than the face. Therefore, it is always in good condition, but still needs constant regulation and nutrition. Kiehl’s on this planet creates real miracles of Crema.

It saturates literally every cellular environment with moisture and nutrients, one gets the feeling that the skin at one moment was “filled” with everything it needed for some time. Already with the first application, it was noticed that the body becomes tender, velvety and indifferent to the touch.

As for emotional impressions, it is infinitely pleasant to use the cream. Some may be confused by the neutral flavor – but for me it’s even a plus. There are times when you want something calm and imperceptible.

I got this originally from Shen as a sample and just recently tried it. I am a nurse and this pandemic has totally fried my hands causing them to crack so bad to the point of bleeding and painful. I wash my hands over 100 times during a 12 hour shift and the soap is horrible.

Add sanitizer to that and it’s a disaster in the making. I have tried everything from Vaseline, cotton gloves at night to oils and even olive oil. I started using this with Josie Maran infinity cream and my hands have done a 180.

Almost all the cracks are gone and my hands are completely healed. I have tried other stuff from this line and I didn’t care for the shower gel. I do however like the body oil and this body cream. I wish it was a flip top cap.

Unscrewing the cap to use it all the time is kind of annoying. Maybe they can change their cap in the future! I normally love scented creams and lotions, but the fact that this hardly has a smell is nice.

It doesn’t compete with my perfumes and body lotions that I wear. It’s a smooth operator and absorbs easily not leaving a greasy feel to my hands. I would have to say this is the perfect moisturizer for anyones hands.

I think I am going to purchase the actual hand cream next.

Let’s start with this, I live in Canada and winters are super dry and cold. In the beginning of 2022 I started having severely dry legs that caused me to itch them until I was covered with scabs. Everyone always used to tell me to use lotion, and I did! It never went away.

I even started to get acrylic nails so that my itching wouldn’t cut my skin. My favourite lotion is the Sol de Janiero Bum Bun cream (nothing against this lotion btw it’s incredible, I just have severe dryness) and I had been using it during this period.

Recently I was gifted this lotion and WOW. I noticed a difference in my skin from just applying it once. My legs feel supple, hydrated and soft. I don’t know what they put in this stuff but I haven’t itched my legs once and I am comfortable to wear shorts again (scabs).

I think what it boils down to was that fragrance in lotion was not benefiting me whatsoever, which I do find upsetting because there’s nothing better than smelling like coconuts and vanilla. This lotion has an amazing formula and I finally found my cure.

The 5 star reviews do not lie!.

Lotion has been the bane of my existence for years and years. I know I’m supposed to moisturize my body and I’ve suffered through testing out various body lotions throughout the years that just left my skin feeling sticky.

I don’t like the feeling of lotion on my hands, legs, or arms, but I also don’t want to be dry and crusty, so I’ve mostly just dealt with being uncomfortable. I’d heard so many good things about the Necessaire lotions over the last year or so and was afraid I’d never understand the hype because of my long-lasting disdain for lotions, but alas, here I am giving it four stars.

I love that it’s fragrance free, the packaging looks incredible, I like that it’s packaged in a squeezeable tube versus in a pump bottle or just straight up in a tub. This lotion works into my skin almost immediately.

I’m not left with any sticky feeling that lingers for hours nor do I have to worry about having visibly dry skin especially around my elbows and knees. I primarly used this during fall temperature, so I’m curious to see how this will fare in the winter but I would absolutely repurchase this when this bottle runs out.

I use this in combination with the Nivea body wash and I’d recommend both. I’ve got skin issues and the Nivea brand works better for me than any other. I do though have a couple of tips while using this lotion.

First, when I use this I wet my hands. I do because it is very thick and doesn’t want to spread easily. It will also absorb much more quickly this way. Even more, you won’t need to use as much (but you won’t sacrifice the moisture it provides, thus the softness of your skin).

Secondly, I can’t stress enough that it works great together with the same brand body wash. With it, your skin comes out of the shower already feeling softened. The plus side of both products is that they’re much more inexpensive than other brands.

Now. I do have to just add one other side note, because it might sway your decision. The smell is slightly like baby powder, although it isn’t over-powering. a lotion.

tl;dr i wish there was a substitute for this-but there isn’t. it makes your skin glow like nothing else. okay so any other time, i do not like a lot of petroleum-based/mineral oil derived ingredients in my skin care, nor do i like heavily scented products (this one to me smells like a grown-up version of baby oil-which isn’t bad, but it’s not great either), i am also trying to avoid buying single use plastics!! BUT THIS PRODUCT HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD AND IT MAKES ME BREAK ALL OF THESE RULES.

for me, this lotion makes my skin look and feel like unicorn! you get glow GLOW and more G L O W! but it still absorbs and doesn’t feel overly greasy (i do recommend applying this in light layers). if i know my body is going to be photographed-i wear this lotion.

its a must have for shorts/dresses. it is just the best. there is no substitute!!.

Not only is Nivea supposed to be more superior and it is said to be calming to the skin, it comes in a tin can usually! Cold creams can be refrigerated no matter the container it’s stored in; long as it is sealed up, but if something comes in a tin can, you best believe there’s a preservative in it! That’s what you receive when you purchase Nivea, no matter what bottle it comes in.

Refined (stripped) mineral oil which is almost useless is included in the ingredients list. PEG-40, which is an irritant in large quantities IS being applied to your largest organ of your body daily, your skin.

Vaseline (or petroleum, mineral oil etc) doesn’t sound too great as an additive to a cream that already has almond oil in it as well, on my face. I received the tin can version of this product as a gift and I haven’t got the heart to just throw it out, OR use it so I had to give it away.

or is a much safer, highly rated choice!.

MY Life became a living hell when my wife left me without a trace, I decide to get a new house to enable me start afresh again but I got denied due to my low credit score. I got more worried, MY wife as mess up my life.

I was so desperate on how I could get my credit score back on track; on the process I got ripe off twice by fake credit hackers. I lost interest in fixing my credit due to my past experience, but a friend came to my aid by referring me TROVIAN CREDIT REPAIR, I was scared at first but he encourage me to give it a try which am glad I did.

I contacted them VIA TROVIANCREDITREPAIR @ GMAIL. COM OR +1 (424) 307 4562 they got my profile cleaned up and raise my credit score to an excellent 799plus, the house loan has been granted. All thanks to TROVIAN.

Kindly contact them today and you will be happy you did.

I’ve used this lotion since it first came out, so many years ago, and it was the only thing that really helped my dry skin. It was perfect! Then recently they reformulated it and it is so awful! It almost feels like there is alcohol in it.

It doesn’t feel creamy and moisturizing like it used to. Now it is very drying, smells very weird, like BO. I’m so disappointed with Suave, now I have to find a new lotion. Reading the other comments, seems like a lot of customers are very unhappy.

Please bring back the old formulas. you should stick with what works!.

Despite all of the bad reviews I’ve seen about shave and Aveeno, I decided to give this lotion a try since it was cheap and I needed lotion. Unfortunately, a week after consistently using it, I developed a nasty rash on my arms, confirmed by my allergist to be an allergic reaction.

Is this the brand’s fault? No, not necessarily. I didn’t see any sort of warnings on the package, nor any ingredients that could’ve caused the reaction that was confirmed to be from this product. Although, even if the lotion hadn’t caused a reaction, I doubt it would get more than three stars anyways.

The lotion’s consistency and texture remind me of something nsfw and I overall just don’t like the sticky feeling it leaves after applying it. To add: this specific scent smells horrid. It smells like rotten cucumbers which is funny because I don’t even see cucumbers on the ingredient list (nor any aloe vera, despite it being marketed as an aloe vera lotion).

This lotion might be good for a lot of people, but for me, I hate it. I’d rather use my dollar tree lotion, at least that hasn’t caused me to nearly have to use am epi-pen yet.

I bought this for my husband who only uses straight forward, non-fancy lotions. He doesn’t want anything strongly scented – definitely not feminine or girly smelling. This has a lovely spa-like scent and leans more heavily towards a feminine, green, girly spa-like smell that was off-putting for my husband.

I would use it, I think it smells great, but it contains dimethicone (which is irritating to my skin). I hate wasting things so I’ve been using it on our children. They don’t have any dimethicone sensitivities.

I like how this doesn’t feel greasy on their skin, but it’s not the best moisturizer. It doesn’t last all day. Our kids don’t have particularly dry skin at all, and I don’t like having to reapply. Overall, recommended if you don’t mind having to reapply later in the day but probably not a good choice for someone with dry skin issues or certain fragrance preferences (like my husband).

Great price, though! #Suave #skincare.

4/29 Update: I have tried this as a night cream several times and I really enjoy it. I wait several minutes after I applied my serums and retinol because it is an oily formula and it will pill if you don’t wait.

But in combination with the Barbara Sturm Night Serum and the Drunk Elephant retinol or Differin my skin always is soft and hydrated in the morning. I actually prefer this cream for the face and if I was to purchase this as a face cream I feel it is more lucrative based on the cost/mL or oz given that a standard face moisturizer is 50 mL.

Hopefully Barbara Sturm offers a nice Black Friday sale because I wouldn’t mind waiting for a sale. I got this in a Sephora rewards box and I have been trying everything out slowly because I want to see if the value of the products justify their expensive price tag.

So far I don’t think the products are worth the price except the Anti-Age Body Cream. I have had eczema my entire life which means I have tried dozens of lotions and creams. I primarily use the CeraVe lotion because it’s thin and absorbs easily into the skin.

This body cream shares those characteristics (I’m nowhere near saying they’re dupes though). The Barbara Sturm cream is thin so it’s able to spread over the skin easily so a little goes a long way. It absorbs into the skin at a snap of a finger.

It’s incredible! I have never seen anything like it. The consistency makes me want to try it as a face cream rather than a body cream because it’s so thin. So I’m going to try that out. I really hate that I love this cream so much because it’s so dang expensive but the formula is truly amazing and unique.

I won’t say that you should rush out and buy it. But on Barbara sturm’s website you are able to purchase a candy shop size which is 50 mL for $27. I recommend that you try that option if you’re truly interested in checking out this product.

And if you absolutely are head over hell for the cream I would recommend purchasing the Anti-Aging Body Set contains the 500 mL body cream in a pump plus a tube of hand cream for $210. This bundle is cheaper than the cost of the 500 mL cream by itself which is $230.

I think this is more economical than buying it from Sephora. I really hope I like it as a face moisturizer because the price will be more justifiable. All in all this is amazing but the price tag is crazy so use your judgment if your considering this product.

#bodycream #spa #luxury #barbarasturm #makeup.

I love this body lotion. It is likely the best body lotion I’ve ever used. It sinks into your skin and leaves no residue. I don’t feel it in my sheets the next morning, etc. I notice it works even better if your skin is damp as the hyaluronic acid absorbs water molecules into the skin.

I could give or take the fragrance; it’s inoffensive but I prefer no fragrance. I have a normal skin type and only need to full-body moisturize about once per week, maybe twice in winter. My only complaint it the price.

If I used this twice a week all over my body I would go through a bottle a month, or maybe even two bottles. I’m 6’2. At this price point this is marketed exclusively toward the global 1%. It’s exorbitantly inhibitive.

I use a few Sturm products and can justify the price d/t longevity, but not with this one. I switched a more price conscious body lotion to replace this one. I use her Toner, Vitamin C Serum, Anti-Pollution Drops, and Enzyme Cleanser.

Those all last for months. This doesn’t. It’s unfortunate because it feels unnecessarily out of reach for a product that offers no patented skincare formula, which is typically the justification for the price point.

Brands like Augustinus Bader charge premiums because they have patented technology. Sturm does not.

I received a 50 ml size of this body cream in one of the kits as a gift. It has a lovely light texture but absorbs easily and is super moisturising/hydrating. This lasts all day. I tend to get very dry patches on elbows and this has definitely improved the skin texture.

I am not sure I have particularly noticed other anti-ageing benefits but I have enjoyed using this product. It is expensive but would consider repurchasing when there is a points offer or GWP.

After not loving the La Mer body lotion because of the scent I wanted something equally as good without scent so I bought this. It’s expensive at 180. 00 but for my skin I spend anything and my arms are starting to really show their age.

Aesthetically it’s beautiful like all augustinus bader products but I also love that it is thick and moisturizing but doesn’t leave you feeling sticky and it absorbs. I have linen sheets and I am always worried about ruining them with creams and this feels dry but hydrated after applying so you don’t have that gross sticky feeling.

So far my arms and legs are really loving it. I wish I would have taken better care of my body skin when I was younger but oh well! Now just trying to find things to fix it!.

I got a generous sample in the Space NK goodie bag last year and was only going to use this as hand cream as I have a sensitive skin condition affecting my legs and many topical creams leave a burning sensation.

I tried this all the same and was really surprised that my skin didn’t feel as bad as it usually does when I apply creams. This is a real bonus for me as anything that relives the burning sensation even just a little is a big win for me.

It does have an odd smell that I can’t put my finger on and I don’t like. I see there is a fragrance free version and I would certainly have to use that one. It does moisturise without that greasy feeling.

I would definitely purchase this but it’s very expensive for a cream. If I didn’t have a skin condition I wouldn’t find this value for money but because I’ve suffered for years I will spend money for even small improvements.

I’ve taken a star off because of price and smell.

I have ingrown hair after waxing/shaving (perks of being an Asian!). Nothing would help. I have rough, bumpy skin. This doesn’t help overnight but it definitely smoothens. However, 2 weeks of continuous use and my skin looked much better.

I have tried other AHA products but I didn’t like the consistency of them. My colleagues say I smell like playdough?!! whenever I use the Ameliorate lotion. To those who don’t mind fragrance, you can purchase a scented version.

Overall, it’s a very good product that does the job, consistency is the key if you got strawberry skin!I have also recently bought skin exfoliant from Ameliorate from look fantastic. And currently looking into purchasing the scalp exfoliant.

Reading about this product, my first impression was that it claims to deliver an awful lot more than your average body lotion. I don’t suffer from Keratosis Pilaris so can’t comment on that, however it has had a remarkable effect on ingrown hairs under my arms and on my bikini line.

It hasn’t eradicated them completely, but the difference is noticeable. My skin feels softer too. As instructed, I applied the cream daily. It’s lightly fragranced, not too thick, absorbs fairly quickly and didn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

Though not an issue during the winter months, I noticed that sun exposure should be limited after use. It’s quite a pricey product, but it does come in a generous sized tube which should last a while.
