Owners love the lotion's hydrating power, pleasant scent, and non-greasy feel, but recent formula changes with hyaluronic acid have disappointed long-term users who preferred the original version.
The marketing's core hydration and skin-smoothing claims are well-supported by strong buyer satisfaction scores and consistent praise for moisturizing power. However, the specific 48-hour duration and single-application results remain unverified by the review data, and recent formula changes with hyaluronic acid have disappointed loyal users, undercutting the consistency narrative.

What owners single out
The formula change to a more liquid, slippery consistency that buyers report echoes concerns about product reformulation affecting the original's effectiveness.
In their words
“I am Caucasian. In my late forties. Blonde hair blue eyed. I live in hot humid sunny Florida. I have hard water that dries my skin and legit burns me personally. So this lotion is a staple in my home. It softens and makes my wrinkles less visible. Feels soothing and creamy. Glides on. Does not leave behind white marks. Smells like baby powder or baby oil with a tinge of luxury or sophistication.”

“I’ve been using this lotion daily for over 24 years. There’s been tweaks over the years but largely it’s been incredibly effective at keeping my skin moist and eczema under control. In the past couple of weeks they’ve introduced a new version with hyaluronic acid and a different scent. The lotion is also more liquid like and slippery after initial application.”
