I tried the brand new version of this lotion, which has been proved by Burt's Bees to provide 24-hour moisturization. I have not tried the original version so I can't compare but I like this one.
It's not greasy and it absorbs fairly quickly into my skin. I have dry skin on my legs, particularly my shins, and when I used it there I found that it did a good job of moisturizing. I found that after I showed I did need to reapply even though it is supposed to be 24-hour, but maybe that means only if you don't shower....
I am getting into using natural products on my skin and so I like the fact that this is made from natural products.
The new 24-hour moisturizing version is available September 2010
I've always loved mousturizers with a great fragrance, but keep hearing about how most moisturizers have PBAs in them. I didn't want to give up those for a moisturizer that smelled like a health store variety (as in not very good). I love this Burt's Bees Milk and Honey because it smells just as good as any body shop product, but it also doesn't have any of the chemicals I've keep hearing I should avoid.
I got this lotion in a grab bag during a Burt's Bees sale - a good thing, because at the unit price I almost certainly wouldn't have bought it despite being an ardent BB fan.
I really like this light honey scent, a little milder than some of the other BB products, but still soft and feminine and delicious. The moisturizer works well for mild dryness and is good for my son who is sensitive to other products with fragrance. However, I think for extreme dryness it would not be very effective.
In short, a great mild-weather moisturizer that, if you can get on sale, is a worthwhile beauty staple to have in your stash. I will certainly buy it again.
Overall, this product works really well. It keeps me from drying out, and leaves my skin nice and smooth (almost silky). The scent is so-so. Sometimes when I use it, it's nice, and other times it just seems a bit much. I think it needs to smell a bit more like honey, and less like the honey/milk combo.
This is the best body lotion I've ever used! It's not too thick at all and absorbs really fast. But most importantly it kept my skin nice and moisturized through the winter, which is no small feat! I normally wouldn't spend this much on a body lotion, but I love the way it smells and after going through two of the trial sizes that come in Burt's Bees kits I was convinced that it was worth the price. I bought the Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Gift Set for my friend and she fell in love with this lotion, too!
I'm thinking for the summer I may switch to Burt's Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Lotion since it's a few dollars cheaper and is a bit runnier, for lack of a better word.
