Very good product but stinky

by Gigi

in NV on 12/10/08

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Long Lasting, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy, Softens Skin

Cons: Bad Smell

Best Uses: Bedtime, Dry/Chapped Skin, Mornings too, Winter Dryness

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: recommended

recommended by my doctor, i tried this lotion for my very dry skin. My knuckles were chapped, and splitting and my hands were becming leather-like. It really works well - use it twice a day as stated on the bottle. Faint amonia smell when applied to dry skin that wears off quickly, STRONG smell when applied on wet skin. that is the only downside.

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy, Softens Skin

Best Uses: Bedtime, Deep Moisturization, Winter Dryness

Bottom Line: recommended

I saw this product advertized in the Today Show. I thought I would spend more money trying to find the moisturer again. Guess what - this is IT....Buy this, please, expecially if you have wasted so much money on other products..It really works and feels so good. It especially took care of those dry bumps we get during the winter months on our skin. I will now only buy this product - one for home & one for the gym bag...

great results

This is virtually identical to my dermatologist Rx-12% (lactic) alpha-hydroxy acid with added moisturizers. I wouldn't go in the sun without adding a layer of sunscreen.

Great AHA therapy for EXTREMELY dry scal

by Anu

in Seattle, WA on 11/2/08

Pros: Long Lasting, Moisturizes Well, Softens Skin

Best Uses: Deep Moisturization, Dry/Chapped Skin, Eczema, Scaly reptile skin, Winter Dryness

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: recommended

I have extremely dry skin and during winter i can peel it off like tomatoes! This has been the case since childhood. None of the moisturizinf lotions or creams worked until i found about lactic acid as a mild exfoliant. I tried this product from [...]..I didnt like the way it had to be rubbed in. After 3 years i again tried..and since then this is the only moisturizer i have in my cabinet albeit the fact that i have spent 100's of dollars in brand/budget/exotic/ organic ones. If it has helped me (the worst case of driest skin ever), I think it will help anyone as long as they are not allergic / sensitive to any ingredients.

Almost Great

Pros: Absorbs Quickly, Goes On Smoothly, Long Lasting, Moisturizes Well, Not Greasy, Softens Skin

Cons: Bad Smell

Best Uses: Bedtime, Deep Moisturization, Dry/Chapped Skin, Eczema

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Bottom Line: recommended

I say "almost great" because of the sightly weird smell otherwise it's fine and functional especially if I combine it with a plop of Psorzema.

Great product, works very well!

Pros: Goes On Smoothly, Moisturizes Well, Smells Great, Softens Skin

Best Uses: Deep Moisturization, Dry/Chapped Skin, Eczema, Winter Dryness

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: recommended

This is the best lotion for severely dry skin, eczema, or ichytheosis (a scaly dry skin condtion). It softens, moisturizes, and removes scaly skin. It is expensive, but a little goes a long way, especially if you apply it right after bathing or showering.
