Advantages: Gives you great smelling soft skin at a good price.

Disadvantages: People may be put off 'baby' lotions

I was looking for a cheap and cheerful body moisturiser to take away on holiday with me. As I have sensitive skin I occasionally look at the baby moisturisers for inspiration as they are usually dermatologicaly tested and great for dry skin.

I have used Johnson's baby lotions before but wanted to try something different and a bit less greasy than the Johnson's Baby Oil 'old faithful'.

It was the packaging that first caught my eye, a nice light green bottle, simple design and a bit more 'grown up' looking. The price was around £2.60 and I thought this was quite reasonable.

On the bottle it states 'Relieves dry skin from the fist use' and it contains Olive Leaf extract and vitamin E.

The moisturiser itself is white, (assuming there are no colours added) and is of a nice gloopy constancy (not watery). The lotion slides onto skin easily and is quickly absorbed. It is noticeable that it doesn't leave skin greasy at all and that it disappears into the skin leaving it feeling nourished, smooth and supple.

The fragrance is light and fresh with a slight hint of herbs and olive oil and a slightly sweet edge, surprisingly not 'baby' smelling at all (the other half thought it smelled lovely).

This one will be staying in my bathroom for a while. The pleasant smell and great moisturising properties make this a clear winner for me and at a great price too!

Summary: Can be used on big babies too :)
