My Mom has used this for years and she still has dry hands. She is old school and believes in buying the same product she always has. I've tried it and it didn't moisturize my hands at all, just the opposite. It made my hands feel greasy and they started itching.

This lotion moisturizes skin in the short term but after a few hours I didn't really feel it there anymore. It's light, so if absorbability is your main concern, then it will make you happy, but if you want something that will keep your body feeling moisturized all day, then I wouldn't recommend. I am not a big fan of the smell either, smells sort of soapy? Like detergent?

I found that this lotion worked no better than an all purpose body lotion. It left my skin feeling slighlty filmy aswell which really bothers me. I also did not like the smell - somewhat like plastic and strong. It did an ok job of moisturizing, but I would not recommend it.
