Good Body Lotion?

LittleMissCutiePie · December 2011

Hi gals. I'm just looking for a good lotion. I have occasional body acne, so I need something that won't flare it up. Basically, non-oily. Any suggestions?

Eucerin is THE best lotion there is and recommended by Derms

It's non-greasy and will not clog your pores. Made for very sensitive skin.

In the winter, I love h2o+ Sea Salt Body Butter. It's not greasy, and it absorbs into the skin really fast, so you're not like still standing around 10 minutes later waiting to put your clothes on. And, while the price is a bit steep (It's like $20 for an 8oz tube) it lasts a really long time. I do my whole body right after I get out of the shower at night, and aside from that, I only have to apply a tiny dot to my hands like once or twice during the day.

In the summer it's way too heavy (Depending on my available budget, I'll either use h2o+'s regular sea salt body lotion, or Cetphill), but for winter dryness I have yet to find anything better. HTH!

Eucerin is great, but I'm also really liking St. Ives Vitamin E body lotion. It's cheap, for one, and my skin (which is extremely sensitive and prone to breakouts) is looking good! My oncologist approved it (he specializes in Melanoma, which I've had before, so I see dermatologists and oncologists for rechecks frequently). He does a lot of research into how certain skin care and beauty products affect skin, and recommends using lotions that are formulated without parabens. St. Ives is very natural, no parabens or pthalates and doesn't make me break out, and it's usually under $5/bottle.
