Jr Watkins, Aloe Green Tea Shea Body Cream, 3.3 Ounce

I have really dry skin, partly because I take a chemo med for autoimmune issues that really dehydrated me no matter how much water I drink. Other lotions I bought were either too greasy and just sat on the surface of my skin OR simply weren’t hydrating enough. But this hand cream is my absolute favorite now. It is super moisturizing, but is also fully absorbed by my skin very quickly. It’s honestly impressive. There was a nearly immediate, extremely noticeable difference in the condition of my skin after I started using this. This lotion even seemed to solve a related issue I was having where my dead skin cells just refused to be shed, no matter how much I scrubbed in the shower or how much of my normal body lotion I applied. Sorry if it’s TMI, but literally minutes after applying this for the first time on my arms, I was able to basically just wipe off that dead layer of my skin, revealing much softer and more supple skin underneath. This is an issue that has been plaguing me for over a year that was seemingly solved in one day. Additionally, I find that the scent is very pleasant. It weirdly reminds me of Froot Loops at first, but in the best way possible. It’s just got that nice citrus-forward, sweet fragrance, and as it dries down the scent gets mellower and more creamy as the lemon settles into the background. It’s definitely got a gourmand scent imo, but it’s not cloyingly sweet or artificial. It just genuinely smells like madeleines with lemon curd or something. I think the Shea butter is largely responsible for the creamy, vanilla-like scent that develops after a couple minutes. It’s very nice, I find myself smelling my hands for like an hour after I apply it because it’s just so delicious! It doesn’t have a strong throw at all once absorbed, the scent fades to only be detectable if someone is inches from your skin, so it hopefully shouldn’t annoy people around you unless they are severely intolerant to fragrance.

This has a nice subtle coconut scent, nice and summery. This is super hydrating. It relieved my dry cracked cuticles immensely. This is not lightweight. It is thick, goes on thick, requires rubbing it in a lot, takes a few mins to fully absorb. It does leave the slightest “lotion feeling”, but nothing that bothers me personally. No pilling. Nice size. A little goes a long way.

I've used this lotion for 15+ years. I used to buy it at Cracker Barrel, and then I could only find it at select Kroger stores...now, I'm thrilled to be able to buy it in bulk at Amazon! The lemon scent is subtle and sweet; not overpowering if you apply it around other people. I'm usually complimented on the scent, and am happy to be sure to let others know it scores 'Excellent' 79/100 on my Yuka app, which is the MAIN reason I've used it for so long! I'm never without it, and my grown kids know it as 'mom's lotion'. They love it, too! Please don't ever change the formula or anything about this lotion!!

The texture is great! It’s viscous/thick and spreads easily. My skin is definitely moisturized. For the fragrance, it gives a reminiscent scent, smelling like hair products from a few years back.

So rich lasts a long time & smells SO good.

Smells like a lemon cake or lemon bars. Such a unique, surprising scent. I gave a tube to my doctor & her nurse & both of them were surprised by the wonderful scent. Even better, it works on my aging dry skin.

Was as advertised and delivered on time

Received my Watkins hand cream today. Sadly disappointed. Have been using this hand cream (lavender, lemon, and coconut scents) for years...LOVED it! Nothing better. Used to buy it locally, but it has slowly disappeared from stores in my area. This time I went to the Watkins website, and it directed me to the Amazon store to purchase products. I purchased the lavender and lemon hand creams. The lemon smells the same, but the lavender is pitiful...hardly any fragrance at all, nothing like it was. As for the quality of the hand cream (both scents), it's not the same either. The texture is thinner, and provides nothing like the fabulous moisturization it used to. Sigh. Long-time customer lost, Watkins. What a shame.
