My skin tends to get dry so most of the body lotions just end up drying my skin, this one doesn't, in fact I am impressed with the brand in general. This one is smooth, gives off a faint breezy sent, nothing too much, it absorbs quickly, it is not greasy but keeps the skin hydrated for the day even during those dry and sunny summer days. It is my favorite lotion to put on after a day at the beach.
I just tried this lotion for the first time a few weeks ago. I love the scent; it's very refreshing- smells like a spa! It doesn't leave a greasy feeling on the skin and absorbs very quickly. It's moisturizing and overall is a great body lotion for the cost.
I like this lotion. It absorbs very quickly and makes you feel super smooth. I think it hydrates for a bit. It claims 24 hour maximum moisture - my skin doesn't feel dry but it doesn't feel overly moisturized either. Compared to Vasaline's Intensive Care line - this one is not as hydrating. It's not as thick, but that is a good thing because it doesn't leave any film/residue that some thick cremes provide. It has a nice yet soft and subtle smell. I use after every shower for my entire body. I haven't noticed that much of a difference compared to other lotions, but I would recommend it. It's served it's purpose and smells great!
I love St.Ives products, but I especially love the Replenishing Mineral Therapy. It is one of the best that I have used. It leaves me feeling moisturized and revitalized all day. I personally love the scent of this lotion as well.
My skin type is oily acne prone. I tested this first on forehead to see if I would break out. I moved on to using it during the day. The moisturizer surprised me. I expected it to be heavy but it is light weight. The scent is a refreshing clean smell. I did have a little extra oil on hot days but I think that was more me than the moisturizer causing the oil. I did notice some small breakouts after a few days but I am not sure if it was the moisturizer or the new foundation I started testing. In patch test the moisturizer did not break me out. I continued using to see if it would help even out my skin tone as I am using several products for that one task. There has been an improvement in my skin texture.
It is hard to find a moisturizer for oily skin and one that will not drain the bank. At under $10 a bottle for 3.4 fl oz the moisturizer is a winner in my book. I have barely made a dent in mine and I have been using it for about month.
