The Ordinary

 Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin Body Lotion

It's a super lightweight formula. Feels a smidge thicker than water. Probably great for sensitive skin. However, as a dry skin girlie it doesnt do much of anything. Also it smells like … a hospital (that sterile chemical smell) when it dries.

So this is definitely for a very specific kind of skin. Like mine, honestly. My skin very simply doesn't hold moisture due to years of overwashing and damage. Furthermore, I can't tolerate the heavy feeling of most of the moisturizers that my dermatologist recommended to help, and I am too impatient to wait multiple minutes for my skin to soak up even lightweight lotions. This addresses that. The lotion is very thin and watery, and it sinks into the skin very easily. I saw an instant improvement to the elasticity of my skin and my dry, scaly patches. It did leave a faintly moist feeling on the skin, but it wasn't any more than the humidity in my state. Definitely don't agree with calling it sticky. Here's the bad parts: the package is incredibly small for what is marketed as an everyday, full-body lotion. While the thinness of the formula means that a little goes for longer, I think someone using this all over their body every day is going to get sick of how often they need to restock. Also, like many said, the pump on the package would benefit from improvement. It needs indicators on it as to what direction you need to turn it, and you need to be able to turn it less. I shouldn't have to spend five minutes (a conservative estimate) turning a pump left just for it to finally click into the locked position. It should just come in the locked position. There's also the issue that because it sinks into the skin so easily, it can feel like you're never putting enough on which can be frustrating. I will honestly probably just stick to my more expensive cream after I use this one up.

It's not a bad lotion but not a great one either. It's lightweight but not terribly moisturizing and unfortunately stays sticky on your hands for several minutes after applying. I did not enjoy that. It does absorb on the body fairly quickly, and it has no scent. There are much better body lotions out there for me, personally.

I like this product it's a good lightweight moisturizer but it's a little stinky after it dries.

I got this as a gift with my order. I recently got my half sleeve finished, and a large tattoo on my knee. I tried this as I'm waiting for more lotion to come in for my tattoos. I don't even think I'll need to keep putting hyaluronic acid on them after I wash them. This might replace that lotion and the ones I use after the shower and before my body oil. I have a skincare routine for after I get tattoos that keeps them from peeling, itching, and they heal perfectly. There's a huge difference in the ones I've used this routine on and the ones I haven't. I would repurchase.
