This is a good product and I would actually buy it again but its really not perfect. Going on in the shower it does seem like it kind of dissapears on my skin and isn't doing much, but my skin definitely does feel much more moisturized when I get out, or perhaps a little greasy? Anyway I like these because I feel like everytime I get out of the shower and put regular lotion on, I then touch my face later with my body lotiony hands and get some breakouts from the oily body products-so these are much better for me. I Would buy again at the next Semi Annual Sale!

Okay, I actually like this product a lot. But I also like the Olay one and no one likes that either. I love the way my skins feels after a couple days of using it. It really feels much more moisturized, especially when paired with lotion afterwards. I don't get the greasy complaints but maybe that's because my skin is normally very dry or because I don't use that much of it? Also, I've used it or the Olay version for the past month and a half or so and I've had no problems with it making my tub slippery. As much as I really like this product though, there is no way I would pay the normal price of $12. I picked up a bunch during the sale for $5 and that's probably the most I'd spend on it.

This product made me break out, and gave my skin a weird texture that wasn't quite moisturized, but wasn't quite smooth. In spite of washing it off I felt like I had a film on me. It just seemed to clog my pores and do little else.

I bought this last September while on holiday in Vegas (B&BW is no longer available in the UK), and have just tried it and I think I really like this. I don't feel greasy at all, and just slightly scented (Sweet Pea, I think). I'm going back to Vegas in September again, and I will be picking up more.

I was disappointed the first few days when I used this product because my skin was NOT conditioned. But, as the label says, it is cummulative, and by day 3/4, my skin was hydrated, and I love skipping the added step of having to put on lotion after getting out of the shower during the summer months.

The coconut lime verbena is my favorite scent in this.

Excellent product for the spring/summer months, but definitely not hydrating enough for cold, New England fall/winter weather.

This product was great. I think if you've got dry skin, you'll really like this item. I was impressed by the light feel of the product, and it left my skin feeling really hydrated, giving my after shower moisturizer a boost.

I purchased Cotton Blossom Shower Body Moisturizer and use it after the Anti-Aging Scrub. This product does not do a thing for my very dry skin. It just kind of slides off with the water and has little to no scent.

I guess I do not understand all the negative reviews, because I really liked this product. I am thinking people are having problems because a little of this goes a long way. You need to use a LOT less than when you are putting regular lotion on yourself!! After using the Warm Vanilla Sugar foaming shower gel, I just squirted a dime size dab of matching in-shower moisturizer into my palm, rubbed my hands together, then applied to my arms, then used a bigger squirt to cover my legs. Then rinsed and patted dry. My shower is not greasy, plus my skin is not sticky. Would be great at the gym when I just do not want to take forever to let lotion dry on my bod after showering. The Turtle Wax syndrome happens because oil repels water. I figure the point of a moisturizer is to seal water onto your skin and provide a barrier. Did not leave me shiny, though! :)

I see I'm the only one here who likes this stuff. It isn't somehting that I'd normally buy, but since it was $5 at the Semi-Annual sale I picked one up. It does exactly what it said it would. After drying off from my shower, I noticed how soft and moisturized my skin was. It left a nice sheen too. This is actually great for traveling because you don't need to apply lotion afterwards. I will buy more, but only while it's on sale otherwise, it's just too pricey. The scent I chose was Cotton Blossom which scented my skin well after the shower unlike shower gels that disappear once you rinse.

Where did it go? I applied this cream in the shower but it seems like most of it went down the drain. You know how it is when you apply lotion to very wet skin? How it just sort of slides off? However, some of it did stick because I had a slight film on my skin afterward and water beaded on it a bit (yes! kind of like human Turtle Wax as another reviewer said!). I don't know. It didn't feel that great on, I didn't feel moisturized, and it was just a weird product. Bought this for $5 at the Semi-Annual Sale, so no harm done on the wallet, I would just never buy it again. Good idea in concept, but it's not quite there. And ugh, if you apply this outside of the shower, it is the greasiest, stickiest stuff. No thank you!

Are you sure you're supposed to rinse this off after you use it? Well, anyways - yeah, this stuff was promising, a very different way to get your moisturizing done. Got this in Moonlight Path. Well, this stuff is certainly very thick, and at least it glides on well. Unfortunately, like the other reviewer mentioned, it just kinda sits there. Reminds me of the old-school body 'butters' BBW made before the Benefits line. Regardless, this transformed my bathtub into a slippery doom, and I felt like I was tacky and transmitting lotion onto everything I touched for the next forty minutes or so... yech. Still, it is a pretty decent moisturizer. My skin's just not dry enough in summer for this level of moisture though.

I purchased this in Sweet Pea and was very disappointed. I ran right out to B&BW as soon as I heard about it because I liked the concept.

Well, this product is Greasy, Pore-clogging, Sticky and just plain GROSS! Not the way you want to feel after a shower. I can't imagine how the grossness factor would be multiplied using something like this in the hot summer.

The first ingredient is water, and the second is Petrolatum, so it's basically like slopping diluted overpriced vaseline on your body while in the shower.

This product doesn't seem to really moisturize, it just performs as a greasy barrier between water and the skin. The product does not penetrate. It is more like Turtle Wax for the skin (yes, after application the water just beads up on you).

Don't waste your money on this. But if you do...1) don't use this greasy product in the summer (except maybe on your legs), 2) don't get it anywhere near your back, underarms or privates, 3) be careful in the shower because it will be coated with a thick, sebum-like grease, 4) If you have long hair, DON'T let any of this waxy susbstance get on it.

I love trying new products! I'm a big fan of the Cotton Blossom scent! I picked up a try me size for $4.00. This is a cream that you put on in the shower and then rinse off. As far as it's moisturizing properties, you are better off just using a lotion afterward. It wasn't that thick, so for a product that rinses off, most of it goes down the drain instead of staying on your skin.
Good idea, but this product needs to be improved.
I'm glad I only bought the sample. I wouldn't spend the $12.00 on the full size.
