Gold Bond Ultimate Restoring Lotion with Green Tea, 13 Ounce, Vitamin C & Antioxidants Help Restore Moisture & Smooth & Soften Skin

This was recommended to me and I have to say its the best body lotion I have used - makes skin feel good all day

My quest for decent moisturing lotion began several years ago with chemo/radiation cancer treatments that literally destroyed my skin. Burns, itching, dry scaly areas that just felt awful and, at times, could be painful. I was desperate for relief and tried about 13 different products including those containing seaweed, aloe and oatmeal. Gold Bond was the clear winner for me. This restoring lotion and its brother, the 'healing' lotion worked the first time and gave me not only the relief I so desperately needed but actually healed and softened my skin in just a few days. I can't say I have a favorite of the two because they both absorb quickly, have the most subtle scent (not feminine or masculine or medicinal - the scent is almost not even there), they don't leave a greasy/sticky residue, and they both provide instant relief. Having to be so careful about touching things with my immune system so compromised I am constantly washing my hands or using those hand sanitizers that are everywhere, which pretty much feel like pouring gasoline on an open cut, so my hands are a wreck. The restoring lotion seems to be a teense thinner and smoother during application while the healing is a bit thicker but both go on smoothly and it seems to me that I can actually feel it penetrating the skin. I don't seem to have to keep reapplying it throughout the day and I find it also works amazingly well on my feet and heels. I will say it is easier to apply the restoring lotion as a body lotion, say, after showering because it spreads faster, but I have used both following a shower and they work very well. I have one of these two lotions in each room of the house, and both of them in the bathroom at all times. They can be a bit expensive so I look for sales and gobble them up when I find a good deal. I don't think anyone would be disappointed in this product. p.s. I did try the Gold Bond medicated (green bottle) and those are great (but thick)as well with one not so stellar exception. If you've got it on your hands and you touch your eyes, it is going to burn like crazy. I have allergies so after a few times of making this mistake of rubbing my eyes after I've applied the medicated lotion, I decided to forego the medicated and stick with the restoring & healing products. Edit: August 2011. When I'm nearing the bottom of any lotion bottle, I usually remove the pump, place the bottle upsidedown on a coffee mug that will hold the threaded cap opening a little above the base of the mug, and let the lotion dribble out at its own pace so I don't have to waste that last inch or so. This little trick works great with the 'restoring' lotion but after 2 days of letting the 'healing' (that's the thicker one of the two) lotion sit upsidedown on its coffee mug, it hadn't dribbled a bit. Nada. Nuttin' honey. That is how rich this lotion is. I tried pounding it against my palm to get it started and that didn't make any difference either. I finally took my kitchen shears (for cutting chicken and bones and the like) and cut the bottom of the container off that held the remaining lotion. Because that leaves a rather sharp edge all the way around the top where I cut it, I used a kitchen spatula to scoop out the lotion and put it in a small ramekin dish so I could get at it easier. And to keep the top of it clean from bathroom powder and hair and such, I covered it with a small piece of plastic wrap. That got bothersome, though, each time I wanted to use it so I removed the plastic wrap and just set one of those plastic lids for cans over the top of it. Easy on/easy off/easy use of product. You know the lids of which I speak, those plastic lids one can get to cover leftover dog/cat food that comes in cans. Edit: October 2011 These 2 products remain my winners even now. I had several products on hand after trying so many so I was using those on my heels/feet. One of my side effects from the chemo/radiation treatments is a prediabetic state (it also runs in my family so I may be plagued with diabetes any day now), but proper foot care was pounded into me early on by my medical team when this side effect was discovered. I had been using up all those other products on my feet but still got the bleeding cracks and scaling. The family was calling me "lizard feet" so that will tell you how my feet looked. U-G-L-Y! Anyway, I finally decided to try the 'healing' lotion on my feet/heels. 3 days was all it took. My feet look like a 2-year-old's feet. Soft, soft, soft. No cracks or bleeding. And they aren't sore and don't hurt when I walk. Nor do my heels crack open and bleed just by standing up. I cannot say enough good things about this product line. I hope you try it and have the results I have had. Not only would that make my day, I think it would make yours as well.

Es una crema muy rica que te deja humectada todo el día.

Very happy with my purchase

This is by far one of the best moisturizing lotions I’ve ever used. And everything is about the formula! The main ingredient high in the formulation) is Urea, an impressive 10%. Urea is one of the most hydrating agents. It removes dead skin, so it's literally able to melt any dead skin in cracked hills or any common hyperkeratinized hair follicles . Urea also exfoliates and unclogs pores, increases water in the skin, and it’s great for eczemas and dermatitis. The lotion also contain aloe, super anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, so for anyone with any skin condition, this thing is great. It also includes vaseline and CoQ10, an antioxidant, and a great ingredient to reduce sun damage. And of course niacinamide (my favorite ingredient on earth, good for everything from hyper pigmentation to aging to brightening), ceramides and oligopeptides, so they really restore skin ( like irritation due to Retin-A), vitamins and collagen. It has a very nice texture too. for sure, this lotion would be a 11 out of 10 if it wasn’t for the fragrance. I think fragrance is unnecessary (so be careful if you have sensitive skin). The smell is very peculiar. I think the pump is perfect and in didn't have any issues, and the price is just brilliant for all you can get. Seriously, if you want to upgrade the game in moisturizing, go for it!
