Vaseline Almond Smooth Body Lotion

This Almond Smooth lotion from Vaseline contains almond oil, vitamin E and vaseline jelly.  Together these ingredients work to heal and nourish dry skin.   

My Thoughts

I use body lotion on a regular basis and was excited to try this new lotion from Vaseline.  First off, I am usually not a fan of almond scents but this scent was so lovely.  It was slightly sweet, but also a delicate scent.  It was not overpowering at all.  It left a light fragrance on my skin.

Since this is a body lotion, it is not as thick as a cream.  It wasn't runny and would stay put on the skin.  I did find that it took longer to absorb into my skin compared to other body lotions.  But after it was absorbed, my skin felt soft and smooth.  There was no sticky or tacky feeling.  I also found that a little lotion went a long way so this bottle will last for a while.

I applied this lotion in the morning after a shower and found that my skin stayed hydrated all day.  I also used this as a hand cream and it worked wonderful too.  My hands even felt soft and smooth after hand washing!

This lotion bottle features a revolutionary smart pump that locks and unlocks with a 90 degree turn.  I appreciated the oversized hand pump on this bottle.  It made dispensing the product very easy and would be perfect for anyone suffering from arthritis in their hands for example.  Due to the size of the pump I did find that it dispensed a lot of lotion so only small pumps were necessary.  Also, once I open a bottle of lotion, I am apt to always leave it in the "on" position so I didn't find the lock and unlock system to be of value to me.  

Overall, I really enjoyed this lotion and especially the lovely scent.  I would recommend this product to anyone to keep their skin hydrated.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Yogurt Lotion

The Claims

According to the information on the tub, "this rich, creamy formula with active naturals oatmeal and nutrient-rich yogurt revitalizes dry skin and leaves it hydrated for 48 hours."


My Thoughts

This lotion certainly does a great job at keeping my skin hydrated and moisturized for hours. I would have this lotion on for 24 hours before I took my next shower and my skin felt just as hydrated at the end of 24 hours as it did at the beginning.  I imagine if I left the lotion on longer, my skin would still be moisturized.

I received this lotion in the Apricot and Honey scent.  This lotion has a delicate fruity scent with a hint of sweetness. I love sweet and fruity scents so the scent was a real win for me. The body lotion comes in a tub but I would prefer to see it in a tube as it would be easier to store, apply, and more readily portable. The packaging however does not affect the effectiveness of the product.

The lotion is a great consistency. It is classified as a lotion and I would say this lotion is a little thicker than other lotions I've used. It does however spread very easily on the skin and absorbs fairly quickly. I did find this lotion takes a few minutes to absorb into the skin and my skin felt just slightly tacky/sticky minutes after application. My hands felt a bit greasy and I needed to wash them after applying lotion to my body. That said, this lotion is still great and keeps my skin hydrated for an entire day.

Overall, this is a lotion worth trying. If you have oilier skin, this product may be too greasy for you but dry skin types will benefit most from this lotion. For me, it would be best used in the winter when my skin is dryer.
