Much better than their "regular" body lotions. Smooth, penetrating, light, and clean,. Somehow, makes your skin feel smooth,,, Also, for a guy, ,quick and easy!

Disappointing

Quick Take: absorbs quickly, scented
I was so disappointed by this moisturizer... the scent is awful and the formulation does nothing for my dry skin. Definitely a thumbs down.

This smells just like the hope in a jor for the face. It absorbs quickly into the skin and my skin feels silky. I haven't seen any improvements in my skin tone, but maybe in time with continued use.

Quick Take: scented
I don't know why this is not rated with 5 stars. For me, it is great. They don't advertise it like so, but it helps with smoothing/almost exfoliating after shaving and the longer you use it, the better it works. More people should buy it, they would have to drop the price for when I need more!

Not for dry skins!

Quick Take: absorbs quickly, scented
I had been looking for a body lotion for the winters and after reading great reviews for this product thought of giving it a try. But I was quickly disappointed with its moisturizing capability. If you have dry skin during the winters are seeking something with extra moisturizer, skip this one. I think it will be ok for the summers or warmer climates..but definitely not for the winters!

not what I was expected
-12.05.12
Quick Take: scented
the thing I like about that product is a very fast drying lotion and don't leave skin sticky, the think I don't like is smell , would be a really nicer product being unscented, and compare to size it is expensive, I hope its worth the price .

Quick Take: indescribable!
If you like Philosophy's "flavored", lotions.well, drop that bottle! You like Hope In A Jar? This lotion made my whole body silky and smooth. Not greasy! Quick absorbing! Just like a commericel. lol! I have used Raspberries n Cream, and Dream A Little Dream. My skin was soft. This lotion, buries 'em! Incredible! LOVE it!

Great Body Lotion
-07.13.12
This body lotion has a fresh light natural scent like so many of Philosophy's products. I love that it has lactic acid in it as well. It is not super moisterizing, but does the job. I think it's helping keep KP on my arms under control. Great product!!
