My skin would be nothing without Baby Oil Gel. I have mild eczema, and it works wonders for my skin. It's gel texture is what's so perfect. It's not like normal Baby Oil which is so slippery. The BOG locks in the moister of your skin keeping it hydrated throughout the day. I absolutely love it. I only use it at night though along with my Nivea Soft, because I'd be super greasy looking in the day time. I do however still use it on specific spots though especially in the winter time. I normally use the lavender one too because of the smell. I love Baby Oil Gel !!!

I have SUPER dry skin, lotion just doesn't work for me. So I started using body oil on my wet skin after a shower to help with the dryness and razor bumps. I always hated the oil being so messy/sticky so I was thrilled when I saw this oil gel. I didn't mind this the first two times I used it, then I started to notice that my skin felt VERY itchy. I thought it may be my shower gel(since I had just started using a new one of that as well). But when I switched back to my old shower gel it still felt the same. So I've stopped using this, it just irritates my skin too much. Disappointing though as I LOVED that this was so much easier to use. Bummer!:(

I use this to shave my legs; ,akes the whole process so quick and is better for the job than any shave gel I have ever used. Also leaves my legs so soft and smooth-and in all the time I've used it I hsven't cut myself once.

Love this stuff. I use the gel version over liquid or solid petroleum jelly because it's so much easier to work with, and use it for mainly removing (eye) makeup (sometimes full face, but only with sunscreens/ 'tough' foundations) - leaves my eyes feeling nice after removing with a damp, warm cloth. Use it occasionally as a moisturizer but never on the face & if you use a little it isn't greasy at all. I'm acne prone and this has yet to break me out; just make sure that you wash your face well after. Tip: check your dollar store. I get the generic there, which makes it insanely cheap.

I was wary of using mineral oil (the primary ingredient), but if you read the labels of many of the highly regarded lotions, they also contain mineral oil. I'm loving this stuff. I sweat a lot, no matter what antiperspirant I use, but I found that rubbing a tiny bit of baby oil gel into my armpits after shaving/before applying antiperspirant soothes my skin and reduces my sweating (I still use the baby oil gel but switched to Crystal natural deodorant and my sweating has stopped). I also rub a tiny bit into my nails, which seems to reduce the splitting, peeling and breakage I have struggled with since my thyroid was removed 10 years ago. And it works wonders to soothe my itchy skin when my eczema flares up, much better than the pricy specialty creams. A definite repurchase for me.

I have a nice Winter secret with this product that is keeping my skin soft and protected against the dry heat. When I shower and when it's time to use my shower gel Lush Grass at the moment. I mix the baby oil gel with my shower gel add to my puffy thing and scrub away or I'll use my hands when I want more targeted moisture. This leaves my skin soft and smelling so good. I swear it makes your shower gel scent last longer plus added skin moisture to your gel. So for me this is a win win. The packaging really needs some work though I find it cracks and then it's so hard to get it out without it taking forever and many types of squeeze tactics.;)

In the Winter I find extra moisture essential to my skin because the heat from my hot showers,dry heat in the house.plus outdoors really take a toll on me. I also can't stand dry skin bumps so this is just what I need. I like this because mixed with the shower gel it cuts back on being too oily but you can adjust to your liking which is great.If I need more moisture later I use Moist's Hemp Body Moisturizer which is excellent and affordable as well. Yet, I find J&J's baby products are excellent and I always find myself using one of their products or have one in my bathroom. I recommend this product in whatever way you like to use it because this stuff works and I like products that do what they say which is keeping my skin soft and protected.

This is one of my HG lotions. It helps my skin look and feel soft and smooth. I use it straight after shower or in and it's just amazing! It's a bit too greasy when you use it on dry skin for my taste though

Love this product. I noticed a few reviewers stated that it left their skin feeling greasy, but this may be because you only need a couple of small dots of this product. I have not had any problems with breakouts or rash of any kind. I use this on my legs right after I get out of the shower. I do not towel my legs off first, i apply a small amount to my damp skin which locks in the moisture. My skin feels wonderful after every use.

I have really dry legs, so I thought I'd try this since regular baby oil is so messy. It was too greasy, and after a few hours I developed DOZENS of tiny pimples on my lower legs. In the trash it went!

wow- i rarely review things like moisturizers & what not but a review for this was on one of the first pages & i was reading about how the woman used it & realized, wow- this really is amazing. i have two different kinds of this Baby Oil Gel but love them both!
=PRICE/AVAILABILITY=
Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil Gel is available in alot of places that i have seen. I have seen this available in mass stores like Walmart, Target as well as some drugstores like Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid but also check out Family Dollar & Dollar General stores. thats where i found mine for a few cents less. Either way, this gel will not cost you too much esp for what you get bc it will last forever but i paid around $2. so its priced around $2-3. which is really cheap!
=FORMULA/PERFORMANCE=
I have two different formulas. I have one with purple lid which is Chamomile infused to it and also have a green one which is Aloe infused. Both have a stronger scent but isnt as strong once it wears into skin but a scent will linger. I love the aloe vera one for daytime if i need it and the Chamomile one for night shower use. They both or ill say all the scents & original scent- are pretty great but im sure you will find one that you will enjoy. As soon as i smell these, i know my skin is finally going to relax and feel good!
Ok the performance of the Baby Oil Gels are amazing! i have to say i have normal to dry skin. most of the time, my skin is extremely dry with occasional flares of eczema so i do have to be wary of what i slather on my skin bc its somewhat sensitive esp w/ eczema. So i was worried about throwing a whole bunch of a scented gel onto my skin esp when i have scratches (i know it sounds horrible but when im itchy, i cannot help it, its a relief until i realize i have scratched my skin open in a spot, this doesnt happen all the time, but i dont have insurance & cannot afford to go to doctor for further testing & more of my eczema medication) but this gel has been a lifesaver esp in harsh winter months but is great to use all year round. If you dont like the feel of anything on your skin, then you may not like this but i think the results will amaze you. The way i use this is how most do- after im done with the shower, i use this in there & squirt some on my hands & rub all over my body in THIN LAYERS. i dont like a whole but enough to provide a thin layer. i also sometimes put on a body souffle or body butter after & mix them together or glide them all over. These will be a tad sticky like for a few minutes so i finish w/ my hair & things & by that time, it has mostly sunken into my skin so i can throw my clothes on. I dont mind waiting for hydration :) My skin has never felt so smooth & im not actually going crazy this winter with really dry skin. I love it! Def great for most skin but beware those w/ sensitive skin- it doesnt bother mine but obviously test your skin first. I think both of the ones i own provide hydration & smooth & soft skin throughout the day. most lotions or creams feel good for a minute then i have to reapply- this almost holds it in at least 10x longer & also my bf loved the way it smells. he has given me a lot of compliments when i wear this bc every once & awhile you will get a slight wift of the scent. its not too strong but just right to me!
=PACKAGING=
The J&j Baby Oil Gel comes in a clear plastic container almost looks like new ketchup bottles meaning the top is on the bottom which makes it easy to squeeze out the gel- its not all sitting on the bottom. No shaking or tapping needed. The lid closure can be opened or snapped shut. ive read people have had problems w/ theirs leaking, mine hasnt done that so far but i only squeeze out a little at a time so it dont get all over lid. The lids are different colors depending on which formula you purchase. The packaging also has more info on the back & labeling & logo on the front. Its see thru so you can see how much gel you have left, i like that. i dont like guessing games. :) its not the prettiest bottle but it works for me. but if you do travel with this, maybe place it in a seperate plastic bag that is sealed so that way if anything happens to it, it wont ruin anything else bc really its a gel oil so it may stain, i havent had any problems with my clothing or carpets but do be careful!
Overall, this oil gel has saved my skin & i cannot believe it keeps getting better, my skin is very finicky & things will work then stop after so long but this is continuing to work & help so much. i def will repurchase & suggests at least trying this out. I love it!

this is a review for the gel oil which has chamomile in it. i find this stuff to be AMAZING. i am a body moisturiser freak...buy hundreds of different products and never stick to any. Now i love baby oil and probably prefer the smell of it to this but i find the oil gel to be longer lasting and you have less chance of breaking your neck in the shower as it doesnt spill out everywhere! i put this on all over while iv just turned off the shower, and my body feels so soft right until i next get a shower. this is so cheap yet in my opinion is nearly perfect for keeping your body soft. i hate feeling greasy thats really the only flaw but i put this stuff on at night so im too busy sleeping to notice!

I have the Aloe & Vit E. I never use this kinda of thing or anything with mineral oil in it but trying to save money this winter and not splurge on my normal Lavanila Body Butters (usually go through 3 tubes in the winter so about $75) I need some winter skin help on a budget this year and wow I am loving this. I first use my B&BW lotion and drizzle it all over my body and add a couple drops of this Oil Gel on each part of my body (2 on each arm, 3-4 on each leg, 1 on stomach and 1 on back) and mix it all up with my lotion and.........(drumroll).......... super soft, can't stop touching myself skin. I might do this every winter. It's that extra boost of moisture that the B&BW works is missing. and one tube is gonna last me the whole winter, take that Lavanila (yes I know u are better for me, but its your fault your to expensive)

I'm on my 2nd bottle. This has been great for my skin in the winter time. I use it while I'm still in the shower. I lightly towel dry and then put this on to help keep the moisture in. Works beautifully and my skin is super smooth. Love the shea and cocoa butter one!

I only use this to take off my eye-makeup. I was using regular baby oil but I found I was wasting a lot of product and it wasn't all that effective. The gel is awesome! I take a little drop and rub it into my lashes and eye and swipe with a tissue and everything comes off! Even waterproof makeup. This will always be in my bathroom. It also never leaves me with any greasiness or irritation. (I do wash my face after using it though)

Wow... I bought the cocoa butter version to moisturize after the shower after reading a whole bunch of good reviews. What a huge mistake. I only used it from the knees down - THANK GOD! (I use firming lotion for my thighs and butt since having a baby changed all that) At first, my skin felt really soft and silky and nice. But.. then....My SHINS broke out. and I mean like REALLY broke out. I didn't even know that was possible. I now have these huge crazy deep blemishes all over my lower legs. It is so so gross. It looks like I got attacked by some sort of rodent. I have a wedding coming up, looks like I'll be wearing pants? LOL. Sucks! It is so bad for me that I can't believe this hasn't happened to anyone else!? Wtf!? Ladies, stick with something non-comedogenic! Or if you are determined to use this, try it well before any events coming up where you'll be showing off your legs. I'm so bummed!

This is a great product. I usually purchase the cocoa butter one and it smells amazing. It really does moisturize my skin really well, and make it glow. I love for my skin to shine and glow, so this is a keeper for me.

I have used the cocoa, lavender and aloe. Like them all about the same. It leaves your skin silky all day. I use it at night because I think it is too oily for day. I like it on my thighs when I wear a skirt so they don't chaf. I use it on my feet almost every night. I never have dry, itchy skin with this and doesn't make my skin oiler in the summer (I live in Georgia). My only complaint is that the bottles don't stay shut all the time and I have ended up with oil on my wooden dresser. One bottle does last a long time and the price is good.
