Love this product. Both my partner and I have dry and sensitive skin and this is a God send. Particularly my partner gets excema and this settles that too.
If he has a dry scalp we'll massage this in and leave it overnight and it settles that too - unlike all the hair care products he has tried over the years.

I swear by Dermalogica as the only brand I've found that actually makes a difference to my slightly sensitive skin. I use a range of their products on face and body and am really pleased with the results. So when my skin started feeling a bit drier in the winter, this seemed like the obvious choice of body moisturiser...and for the first time with Dermalogica, I'm really disappointed! The consistency and smell of the lotion I find unpleasant - but I could live with that if it was a good product, which unfortunately for me it isn't. Like some of the other reviewers here, this gave me an allergic reaction, makes my skin feel nasty, and clogs my pores on my body, leading to random spots on my legs! (something that I previously thought only happened to your face!) Sorry Dermalogica, it's a big thumbs down from me on this - very disappointed.

I was expecting to love this body cream but after only two days of using it I broke out in a terrible rash on my arms, chest and legs. I stopped using it for a few days and the rash went away so I decided to give it another try. Guess what... it came back with a vengeance. I paid 47 dollars for it at Ulta and everytime I look at that bottle sitting on my dresser collecting dust I could kick myself. Also some of the reviews mentioned a coconut scent. Hmmm. Personally I thought the smell was just short of being repulsive.

Ok, this is the first dermalogica product to dissapoint me! It's not at cream, it feels more lika an oil och a lotion in the consistensy. It is hydrating, for like 20 minutes, then my skin is as dry as before. It is not worth all that money! The reason I've given it two lippies is the heavenly scent! Like cocoa and coconut! Lovely.

This sits in an oily layer on top of my skin for about 10 minutes then disappears and feels drier than before. I'm a bit peeved about the cheap ingredients they use in this lotion considering the high price you pay. Not good for your health (mainly the cheap preservatives) and I'd expect more from a cream "developed by the International Dermal Insitute" Nice coconut scent though.

I don't have dry skin but I often use lotions and creams for extra dry skin because I think it helps me keep my skin hydrated and beautiful.
This body lotion is definitely a must-have for everyone! I don't know if it's the best cream out there but it makes my skin deliciously soft and beautiful. I often think I'm having baby skin after applying it. The package is very nice too and easy to use (too bad I cannot travel with it - mine has 3.4 o.z). I will buy it forever because each time I use this, I feel like I'm having a spa care.

Even for my ultra-dry, eczema-prone skin, this cream leaves an oily film on top for quite a while before sinking in completely. To be fair, it *is* ultrarich, so at least it does what it claims to! And my eczema doesn't flare up on this, so double plus.
My advice is (a) use this during winter months, where it's especially great on legs, (b) and use this at night just before bed, so you wake up in the morning with ultra-silky soft skin, without grease marks on tables/newspapers/anything your skin gets in contact with immediately after application.
I find L'Occitane's 25% shea butter ultra rich body cream does the same job with a much more pleasant scent and less greasy evidence...

I love all of the Dermalogica products I have used previously but was sadly disappointed with the Ultrarich Body Cream. I have sensitive, eczema prone skin and this product seems to really exacerbate itchiness and redness. The fragrance is nutty, like almond, but I found it sickly and almost medicinal. I really wanted to love this and although it is probably my own allergies that make it a poor match for my skin, that smell is not lovely at all.

This is the only body lotion I have ever used that truly combats my dry, itchy legs in the winter. At first I wasn't too sure about it because I felt like it leaves a greasy layer on top of my skin, but after seeing the results I'm hooked. In the colder months (and even still in April) my legs get super dry and itchy. I use the ultrarich body cream at night, and they totally heal up. I just bought my second bottle of this stuff because no other moisturizer makes my legs feel so soft, smooth, and hydrated. No artificial fragrances either.

This product is amazing. It is not too thick and it's not greasy and applies very nicely. The smell is AMAZING and I can't wait to order more from whatgreatskin.com

Quite disappointed in this product. It doesn't hydrate or moisturise as much as it leaves a greasy film on the skin. I tend to find I wash my hands after I apply it and that just shouldn't be. It has a slight coconut fragrance, another strike against it. Any pluses then? Yes, the pump packaging.

Not really an ultra-rich body lotion, at least I find Palmer's cocoa butter to be far richer and moisturising. By the way, it's a very nice non-greasy body cream, sinks wonderfully when my skin feels a little dry. i won't say it's good enough for drier winter period though. It is fragrance-free I believe, nice to apply during the day so that it won't combat with my perfume. Not really a pricey product as compared to other high-end body creams, might repurchase after I finish my current bottle. continued >>
