Moisturizing Lotion
Reviews
this is a pretty good moisturizer. I decided to give it a try because I had another moisturizer from them, but this one was cheaper and had way more product to it, so I decided to give it a try. I have combination skin, and I'd say this is an okay moisturizer, but more for those with drier skin. the reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because it is so darn greasy! it just feels so heavy and oily on my skin! but since it is a heavier moisturizer, it's good for nighttime. probably wouldn't use it throughout the day or under makeup because it's so greasy! but other than that, it's a pretty good moisturizer.
Great for very dry, dehydrated skin.
I have easily irritated, insaaaanely dry skin. To the point where most days I don't put on make up because most foundations flake and crack on me so terribly. A friend of mine gave this to me on the off chance that I would like it better than she did (she has very oily skin). After the first few times of using this as a face moisturizer I was absolutely floored! I have tried so many moisturizers and nothing works for me as well as this does. I definitely would not suggest this if you have oily skin, because it does leave the skin feeling slightly tacky and dewy. I don't mind this because with my skin that is something that I need. It makes my skin look smooth and healthy. I seriously love this stuff so much.
Bought it for my tattoo..
Back in October I got a tattoo and my friend who reminds me a bit of a coloring book brought me to Shoppers to pick up an unscented lotion. This is what I came out with. I put it on my tattoo twice a day for a week and a half and then it was healed. I still had such a large bottle, I began using it as a nightly moisturizer. It's a tad too thick for daytime wear.

I really love this stuff and it's by far the best lotion I've used. A little goes a REALLY long way though, so I try to take only a pea sized amount at a time. Unfortunately, the pump doesn't always agree with that measurement- but that just means extra lotion for my elbows, and hands! Typically, I dab this on right out of the shower or right after washing my face,while my skin is still warm/damp. I find that the lotion absorbs better, and goes on smoother. If there's any excess that I can't navigate to my neck area or decolletage, I just remove it with a clean cotton swab, or facial cloth-similarly to how one would remove a cold cream or face mask. It works like a charm. My skin is perfectly moisturized, isn't oily and feels soft and smooth!
Greasy
I have oily/combo skin and I normally buy oil free moisturizers. I tried this because I've heard good things about the brand, but it makes my skin really greasy. Even when I use a tiny amount. I feel like I wasted my money on this. I'll be double checking for "oil free" next time!
