-This lotion works great for my skin. I especially like the smell of the vanilla lotion. I love that it is 32 oz. and I got it for about $10. My skin feels softer and more moisturized after using.
-I would buy this again, and I would recommend it to others.

-Mildly disappointed in this product, (The matching body wash is much better in my opinion.) I bought them both together and started using them in combination and have noticed my skin *is* softer, HOWEVER...
-This body lotion does not absorb easily (probably because it's completely natural & paraben-free/fragrance-free). When I get out of the shower and my skin is still damp, the lotion is very thin in texture and doesn't absorb immediately into my skin. It's difficult to rub in and sort of just sits as layer before I vigorously smooth it in. I know this is primarily because it doesn't have the added ingredients that most moisturizers have, but it can be a bit inconvenient.
-That said, the ingredients are really harmless and the shea is pure & really skin-healthy. The bottle is economical & large (32 oz). You don't have to replace it too often and the pump is VERY convenient! The unscented version is mildly shea-smelling/naturally-smelling, but not offensive at all and if you like natural products you may like this.
-Recommendations overall: For most people - eh. **I would say that this is not great for very dry skin - you're better off with a thicker cream.** I hadpurchased it mainly for the natural ingredients and packaging convenience. (Plus bought it on sale for $8 rather than the full $14 price.) But it didn't do much for improvement of my skin. It actually made it feel dryer than before use! It's not worth the full price at all unfortunately, despite the 32 oz. continued >>
