Customer Reviews

Other reviews are misleading. Wonderful product!


I am 66 and have very sensitive, thin, and dry skin. This lotion is the best I have ever tried. It's not hard to work with unlike some reviewers comments and it absorbs quickly and does last and last without having to reapply frequently. It has worked wonders and works as well if not better than some of the $35 a bottle lotions from department stores. Try it for sure. You aren't investing in a Mercedes for heaven's sake. Cowboy up and take my word for it. Thanks.

Just another moisturizer if you ask me
The advertising hype got me! I have dry hands in the winter. The ads claim this stuff cured a whole village in Alaska of dry hands in winter. Well, good for them. Perhaps if I moved to Alaska, it would work for me too. But in North Carolina, it did not work any better in winter than the various other dozen or so moisturizers I have tried over the last five years.

Still, I have to admit it must be good for something because it costs so much. That is sensible, right? It costs more so it is worth more???

Buyer beware!!!!!

Too thick for normal and slightly dry skin. But for severely dry, bothered skin, it might be a lifesaver
The Vaseline Clinical Therapy Body Lotion is very thick, very rich and very creamy.

When I received this "skin protectant body lotion" to test, I was both impressed and appalled with the viscosity of the product. For the most dry, cracked and ailing parts of my skin, it felt good going on, healing even. For the normal majority of my body, the lotion is just too thick to work with.

Living in the southwest of the USA, I have dry hands as a rule. I use a lot of lotion several times a day on hands, arms and legs, but the Vaseline Clinical Therapy Body Lotion is still uncomfortably waxy for me. I always need to grab a towel and clean the excess goo from my palms after application. It's too bad, in a sense, as I really did want to like this product. I used it for months, in both climates both hot/dry and cold/windy, hoping the lotion would grow on me.

I tried to engage my husband as a tester, as he also is a daily lotion user. He termed the product too rich and "greasy" and found it hard to rub in. We decided to use the lotion on our somewhat scaly lower legs and be content to wash our hands after use, reapplying another lotion for our dry palms.

My sense is that I am not precisely the target market for a formulation subtitled, "Intensive Rescue." My skin, while dry and sometimes cracked in hot spots like cuticles, shins and elbows, is not really in need of a clinical strength lotion. I prefer a more elegant formulation that sinks in and leaves only a moist, dewy sensation behind.

For persons with severely dry skin, I suspect the lotion is a godsend. The ingredients are sound, including glycerin, mineral oil, herbal borage oil (thought to be helpful for ecxema and other skin problems), soybean oil, Vitamin E and lecithin. Tapioca starch provides a slight "powder" sensation, while active ingredient dimethicone adds a protective "glove-like" residue. The titanium dioxide adds the opacity seen in sunscreens (as it's the last ingredient on the list, there would not be enough to add a useful SPF factor).

Both the "lightly fragranced" and "unfragranced" versions are scented, which in both cases is mild, pleasant and reminiscent of days on the beach.

Vaseline makes good, solid lotions in general, and I would recommend this product to anyone with very dry, cracked and bothered skin. It's also an excellent supplementary lotion to keep in the medicine cabinet for dry skin emergencies, or to add a protective skin barrier in cold, windy climates.

However, for daily wear on normal to slightly dry skin, my conclusion is that the Vaseline Clinical Therapy Body Lotion is a bit of overkill. The bottle advertises "for extremely dry skin"...and that is the demographic that will make the most of this unique product.
