This is a review of Tesco Everyday Value Baby Lotion which we use for a few purposes with our nearly-two year old daughter, but mainly when changing nappies.

What is it?
This Tesco Everyday Value Baby Lotion is a thin pink lotion that can be used to cleanse and moisturise skin. It has a light fragrance but nothing too smelly and comes in a good sized 500ml bottle. You can also recycle this white plastic bottle when it is empty.

In use
We use a big pump dispense bottle to house our baby lotion, it's easier this way as it just dispenses the right amount and you can do it one handed whilst trying to change a baby! We tend to pump a bit of lotion on to a baby wipe when cleaning up messy poos or freshening up our baby's bottom after a night's sleep. The lotion helps to remove any caked on bits and is gentle on her skin so we are not rubbing at her bottom too hard. Any excess is either absorbed in to the skin or in to the new nappy so it doesn't leave her skin slimy or anything.

My thoughts
Because we dispense the lotion anyway, it doesn't really matter packaging-wise whether we are using top brands or shops own, as long as the lotion actually does the job. I have used this lotion on my own skin as well as the baby's skin and neither of us have ever had an adverse reaction to it. I have used other brands, both expensive and cheap and have come to the conclusion that is it is pointless to pay more for essentially the same product.

Price
This is worth taking note: The price has recently gone up for this product! For ages it was an unbelievable 9p per bottle then they changed the packaging to the classier 'everyday value' range and the price went up to 46p which is still a bargain price and definitely worth paying for a 500ml bottle. Fortunately, I stocked up on a few visits before the price went up so I have half a dozen bottles on top of the wardrobe.

Final word
We do get through quite a lot of this stuff. It is easy to squirt out far too much from the bottles as it is quite runny which is why the pump dispenser works a lot better for us. I have no complaints or negative comments to say about this product, it works for us, we like it and it is a brand I will rebuy in the future. It helps us keep our daughter clean and fresh and doubles up as a quick light moisturiser for adult skin if you want to try it too.
