I recently received a 2 oz. travel size container of this lotion, which I have almost completely used up. Because of that, I was only able to try this out for a short time, so this review is based on my initial impressions, really. In my opinion, it's just your average lotion. Although, I do not find it to be "super rich" and am not impressed with the ingredients list. I don't hate the scent, but don't care for it either. It's too powdery and lotion-y smelling for my taste, but not horribly offensive by any means. The scent does last a while though, so that's a plus for those who really like it. I would not purchase this product.

I got a travel-size of this product in a kit. The smell is okay (smells like a bunch of peaches), but the main downside is that it is not very moisturizing, and too many 'cones and chemicals to my liking. Would recommend trying this out at a department store prior to purchasing - walk around for a while with the applied lotion for a hour or so.

I used a sample of this body lotion. It's adequately moisturizing, but that doesn't convince me to buy the full-size version. The ingredient list isn't impressive enough for my taste (meaning, it contains silicone and isopropyl myristate, which I'm trying to avoid in cosmetics). Plus the scent is too strong for me.

Ingredients: Deionized Water, Peanut Oil, Retinyl Palmitate,Polyglycerylmethacrylate (and) Propylene Glycol, Apricot Kernel Oil,Dimethicone,Stearic Acid, Tocopherol,Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20,Isopropyl Myristate. continued >>

Ditto what the other lovers of this product say: doesn't need reapplying, works beautifully and has a lovely fragrance. Initially it needs to be worked in but after a few minutes there is no "after-feel."

I am officially in love with this lotion! I have dry and sensitive body skin and this lotion has been a miracle for me. It moisturizes my skin perfectly without a greasy residue. I love how quickly it sinks in and leaves my skin soft and silky. Normally I have to apply lotion throughout the day but not with this. I can apply it after my evening bath and am still soft the next day. I don't think I'll ever be without this!

I didn't like this product for two reasons. First, I didn't like the smell very much. It has a slight apricot/lotion smell that just didn't appeal to me at all. Second, it didn't soak in thoroughly. It left my skin slightly oily on the top and didn't help heal some of the roughness the cold weather is causing. I got this as a sample and I definetly won't buy this product.

I really love this body lotion. The packaging is nice, clean and simple, the fragrance is a light apricot smell which is very pleasant and fresh and it moisterises very well and sinks in quickly.And a little goes a long way!

I recieved this as a sample with my order. I LOVE it! The fragrance is wonderful. Fruity but soft...not overpowering at all so I don't walk out of the house smelling like an apricot! It's just a clean, soft scent. And the feel of it is great! It has a perfect texture and absorbs wonderfully into my skin, making my skin feel smooth and soft. The next order I make from Mario Badescu will definitely include this lotion.

The packaging makes it great for travel. I like it that I can use it all over my body and it doesn't feel too slippery on my hands and feet.

Like all MB products I have tried, this stuff is amazing. It moisturizes so well and smells fantastic! I got a sample of it a while ago, then had to order the full size one. Seriously, I only use this and TBS Olive Body Butter on my body now. My skin has never felt better. Not only is MB making great products for the face, their body line is wonderful as well.

I got a sample of this and have been addicted to it.
Not only does it smell WONDERFUL...fruity, clean, spa-ish and expensive...it really soften my dry skin very well.
A huge 6 oz bottle for $10...well worth the price.
I like how MB really spend the money on the products rather than fancy packaging.
Only wish they would list their ingredients on their website though...I'll probably buy / order a lot more.

I love this lotion. It is very moisturizing and lubricating but not greasy for my oil and pimple prone skin! I could use for my face and body. The natural fruit extracts help keep the skin soft while exfoliating too.

It's thick, does not absorb well, and my skins still feels somewhat dry afterwards.
