This is my favorite body lotion because there is no scent and it absorbs immediately. My only gripe is the packaging stinks because you get about 2/3 of the way through and the pump can't reach the bottom. We always end up trying to turn it upside down or toss product, a waste! But it is by far the best non-scented lotion I've found.

I use this in the fragrance free version, and I have to say that it does a wonderful job for my super sensitive, dry skin. I have literally tried 100's of lotions or creams on my finicky skin, and this is a staple for me, especially when I want a more lightweight lotion. I rotate it with my more expensive creams and it keeps me skin hydrated all day and night. It does an amazing job at soothing the inflammation and roughness that is a result of having a pretty bad case of kp on my arms. Rarely does a lotion smooth those stubborn red bumps for me. I don't like lotions with cheap fillers such as petroleum, or mineral oil because it just coats the skin rather than relieving dryness, and this bad boy does not contain either. I am starting to have a harder time finding this in stores, so it is one of the few item I always have several of on hand.

i have dry, itchy skin in winter and this is the ONLY lotion that has done anything for me. it is perfect. it sinks right in after a shower and locks in the moisture in a clean, non-sticky way. i think it is the high glycerin content. i like the clean, neutral scent and it is cheap for a big bottle. i stray away all the time for fancy, perfumey body lotions, and then always come back and wonder why i spend a penny on anything else!

I love palmers coco butter but in winter i found my legs really dry even after using it so i dug out this product that i bought on a whim ages ago. Its been fabulous - makes my dry skin feel really soft (even better than body shop body butters!).
will re-purchase for winter but will switch back to palmers for summer.. I only use it at night after my shower as i'm worried it might be too heavy to use in the morn.

I LOVE this! I am in the Midwest and get very dry skin in the winter. This is the only lotion that I have found that works. It absobs quickly and lasts all day. The scent is not overpowering so I can use perfumes or body sprays. This is also the only lotion I could use when I had cellulitis really bad two times in 5 months. I would recommend this to anyone and would buy it again in a heartbeat!!!!

I have tried many more expensive lotions and find that nothing works better on my dry itchy winter skin! I have always used the fragrance free version and when i accidentally bought this I was worried that the fragrance would irritate or even worse be overpowering and annoying, but it's actually quite light and doesn't irritate. slight gooeyness right after application, but i think that is a small price to pay for lushly moisturized skin for under 10 bucks!

Great body moisturizer. I use it everyday in the winter. It really keeps my legs looking smooth and scale-free. It may be a little too heavy for the summer though if you live in a really humid climate. I have tried a bunch of other body moisturizers but this is the best I've found so far.

Yet another product to give me a rash. It started out so well, pleasant smell, absorbed fast, great pump design but when I got about halfway through the bottle I found little red bumps all over my back, sides and arms. I'm glad I didn't buy another when I saw it on offer before the rash appeared. I'm now looking for something else.

This is my HG body moisturizer. I have dry, scaly legs (especially in my crazy Canadian winters!) and this stuff does the trick! It keeps me moisturized alllllllllllll day, no itchy skin and the light fragrance doesn't irritate either. I especially love that its in a pump, so to keep bacteria out and also, its just plain handy.

after using the great Loreal Nutri Soft, which I unfortunately cannot find in the US, I tried this one, Norwegian Formula Body Moisturizer. I thought if the hand cream is so moisturizing, then this might be so too. But I dont like it. It's terrible, it leaves a sticky film on my skin, and I can tell you that's no fun when putting on your clothes. My skin doesnt even have a soft touch, so no thanks, I won't buy it again. It's too expensive for what it is anyway.

I have this in the fragrance-free version. It is such an excellent moisturizer for my hands and body. It absorbs in instantly and does not leave a tacky feeling on my skin. It is also paraben free.

I bought this because I'm Norwegian and ironically, this stuff isn't sold in Norway so I got curious.
That said, I didn't like this moisturizer at all. It was greasy and yucky and just didn't absorb. It just kind of stayed on top of my skin until I finally gave up and jumped in the shower.
I didn't care for the smell either.

Ugh! I used to love this stuff so so much. But one day, I went to buy some more and what do I see written in the top corner?....the dreaded, "new, improved"...from my experiences, that usually means "new and crappy". It used to absorb so nicely and not leave a trace except for soft soft skin. Now, it leaves this weird waxy film, doesn't absorb and smells like those men's urinal pucks..Booooo neutrogena! what in the world were you thinking!?!?!?!??!!

i've been using this moisturizer for years and have absolutely no complaints. i don't have particularly dry or oily skin, bodywise, and thus only need this in winter. it's a great product; i get the scent-free one since the regular formulation smells odd to me. i don't use very much, and it keeps the scalies away. a bargain at the drugstore, and i'm giving it a '4' instead of a '5' because i'm not crazy about the packaging! a trustworthy but utilitarian product.

it makes my skin really soft. it does leave a kind of film over the skin though, but i don't really mind it, it's more emollient than the norwegian formula hand cream

Looove this moisturizer, after searching for weeks for a good FACIAL moisturizer I decided to try this on my face since I had been using it on my hands and noticed how non greasy it was. Well, I did and LOVED the results..my face looks much nicer! It calms my irritated areas. I have an oily T zone with dry patches and it hasn't made me break out. I would rather get the scentless one to use on my face but the scent doesnt' bother me since it fades. I like the pump. It also leaves it very nicely prep'd for my suncsreen and makeup.
Will definitley repurchase.

Wow, I can't believe so many people hate the scent of this. To me it smells clean and light, maybe slightly lemony. I really like the formula. I use this before I go to bed and wake up with super soft skin. This is a true moisturizer, not something that makes your skin feel hydrated temporarily.

I've bought this lotion several years back, and remembered that it was pretty good. It was on the pricey side,so I didn't buy it that often. I found it on clearance at CVS, so I picked up a bottle.
Well, It's not as good as I remembered. It's got a nice scent, but it leaves a greasy residue on my skin, and it feels like my skin cannot breathe.
I'll save this to use before bed, and stick with my Curel lotion.

I love this lotion. It's hydrating (moisturizing) and feels great on my skin. I don't feel "rusty" or "hard" when I use this lotion. I also use the Fragrance-Free kind, and since it's free of oil and all that stuff, I use it on my face (and I have super sensitive skin and have never broke out once from this). I reccommend this for anyone, it's a great lotion, doesn't have a nauseating smell and you can mix it with other "non-moisturizing but smell good lotions" to get a great fix. It's a lot, but worth the price and lasts really long.

This lotion is much better than any lotion I've ever tried--the glycerin makes it wonderfully hydrating and it smoothes on nicely after a shower. I got it without scent, as the regular fragrance of it is too strong. My favorite body moisturizer.
