I tend to forget putting on lotion after a shower, until it gets to the point where my skin is ashy and/or flaking. This lotion does the trick asap- dry skin is gone! It literally makes your skin baby smooth. It's moisturizing and rich enough to work as a softening hand lotion too! Plus I love the soft smell:) As far as a deeply moisturizing lotion goes...I'd call this HG status!

I dont use body lotion very often b/c I get lazy at times.^^ This lotion was silky and smooth. It did leave my skin feel hydrated when I applied it after a nice shower. I recommend this to anyone.

I adore this product. It absorbs so quickly and makes my skin so silky and smooth, my skin feels like it did when I was 10 years old! I normally get a sore throat or headache from strongly scented products, but this doesn't seem to bother me. Couldn't live without this stuff.

A great lotion. Absorbs quickly and does the job with the oils without leaving greasiness behind. It does have that scent described by others so probably a good idea to check that out beforehand if you are perfume sensitive. I also am not a lotion in the pump fan because of waste at the end, but with this, I repurchase anyway.

This is a really nice product, especially for the price. Very moisturizing but not greasy and sinks in quickly. I hate lotion that you have to rub into your skin for a long time. This absorbs quickly but leaves skin velvety and soft. Nice light fragrance, not too strong at all. I take baths at night, put coconut oil on my wet skin, let it absorb for an hour or so and then put this on before bed...wake up with amazingly soft skin. You get a huge bottle for not much money, too.

I love this stuff! it makes my skin so soft and smooth. The consistancy is amazing because its not thick at all so it goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly so i dont feel sticky. I used to have bumps on my arms that would not go away no matter what i tried but this stuff has made them go away! I like the smell and this is my go to everyday lotion! I would recommend this!

UPDATE: Replaced this with Alba Botanica Kukui Nut Body Oil.

This review is for the Shea Butter version for extra dry skin.

I tried this by accident when I was staying at a friends house and I hate that I sorta need this product until I can find a better alternative.

My usual body lotion --Yes to carrots body butter-- is not enough at the moment. Now that its colder, my legs turn into an itchy dry mess. I can scratch myself until I bleed in my sleep.

This is the only lotion that not only makes me comfortable, but velvety soft without the heavy feeling.

Cons:
1) STRONG floral scent. I prefer unscented products, but don't mind fragrance if it is light or dissipatates quickly. This one lingers all day.

2) I am trying to minimize paraben use. I'm also to avoid companies that do animal testing such as procter and gamble. As far as I know, Unilever the parent company of Dove still does.

It's not a bad lotion, it's actually good if you don't mind strong floral scents and have no issues with parabens and or animal testing.

I will finish the bottle I have, but currently on the look out for something better suited to my needs.

I love the texture and smell of this product, especially after a session in the sun. It's all I need to maintain smooth, moisturized skin -- I even use it on my face. Will continue to purchase for my dry, sensitive skin.

I loved the constancy of this product. It is a thick creamy lotion that glides right on your skin do to the added oil. It didn't leave me greasy, sticky or waxy. It seemed to give my skin the moisture it was looking for. The texture and performance is 5 stars, but the smell....way too flowery!!! I tend to be sensitive to fragrances in general, but I liked this lotion so I was hoping I could look past it. The fragrance wouldn't fade. It reminded me of the little old ladys that overdo their perfume. I had to return this. If Dove made this in a fragrance-free version I would definitely purchase it.

I started using this in the very cold, dry winter months but now use it year round. It's perfect for me even though the summers are hot and humid.
The scents, the are 3, are nice and the consistantcy is good.

I wanted to try a new lotion, and was drawn to this, however, it did not work out for me and I'm disappointed by the results. While the scent was nice and it did moisturize my skin, it left my skin feeling sticky. I used it after a shower, and at first thought it was moisture from the water, but my skin still felt like it had a coating on it a couple hours later.
...
I have oily skin and I think this was just too heavy for me. After a couple days of using this, I have noticed itchy spots on the places I applied it, including a few new acne spots on my back and I haven't had spots there in a quite a while! I usually have good luck with drugstore lotions, but if you have acne-prone or oily skin, this product might be too heavy. My skin couldn't breathe, felt sticky, got itchy and even erupted into a couple new spots.

I've always been pretty good about wearing body lotion and have used my fair share of different lotions and this has been my favorite and repurchased every time I run out.


This is a thick lotion almost a cream texture but the added oil makes it easy to apply evenly. I personally don't find it to greasy and it offers me enough moisture that I'm not looking for anything new. I use to use Bath & Body Works Body Creams but couldn't stand the price and once I found a scent that didn't give me a migraine it would be discontinued or the stupid sales they always have. Dove is the perfect scent, there's a good amount of product in the container that I don't feel I'm constantly going to run out soon and it works plan and simple.

This stuff is AMAZING!! I have very dry skin, keratosis pilaris, and itches and flakes. This makes it feel soooo soft and moisturized. The bumps are going away, flakiness is a thing of the past, and my skin feel comfortable again. It applies easily, sinks in quickly, and lasts.

Hands down, the best lotion I've tried...and I think I've tried them all, including prescription.

Like the pro-age body lotion this product has a scent that lingers. You can smell this on you hours later. This is moisturizing, but I would argue that it is slightly less moisturizing than curel or nivea. I rather use curel which is available in a fragrance free formula or a scented formula (the scent isn't as nearly as strong). I have tried both this and the pro-age. Neither one works well enough to make up for the horrible flowery scent.

Phenomenal is what I have to say about this product!!! My daughter introduced me to this product and now that I've found it I NEVER want to be without it! My skin has never felt so comfortable or soft (even softer than a baby's behind)! It has what I consider a delightful fragrance and I just with that they had the hand cream available in stores. A stellar product IMHO.

Perfect lotion for summer when you want some sheen on your legs. I like how this lotion is "thinner" and absorbs as well as an oil-based lotion can (don't wear this with silk). I would be careful about wearing this with nice clothing because it probably will spot your clothing if you aren't careful. It does a good job staying on throughout the night and is very well moisturizing.
