Gold Bond, the one with the gold cap. It has C, E and other good "stuff" sinks right in. Easy to find in your local drug store.
This comes from someone who has always hated moisturizers because of the greasy leftovers  |

| My all time favorite is Origins Ginger Souffle. Their chocolate body cream is also great and feels like rubbing chocolate pudding on your body (a bit too decadent at times). Neutrogena light body oil is silky smooth, very nice. My old standby is Eucerin with a drop of Guerlain L'Heure Bleue perfume. Delicious! |

I have a favorite drugstore brand that I always go back to - Jergens Naturally Smooth. It's the one that helps inhibit hair growth. It really does help the hair grow back finer and more slowly. Not only that, but it's not greasy and has a very light pleasant scent. I use all over my body and have not found anything else I like half as much.
If I want something with a bit more scent for nights out and such, I'll use a Bath and Body Works Body Creme (the super thick ones) and mix it half and half in my palm with the Jergen's. It dilutes both the scent (which is usually pretty strong) and also the thickness of the cream. |

I use Biotherm Anti-Drying Body Milk . It is according to me a wonderful bodylotion (and I have super dry skin..)It also penetrates easily
into the skin. |

becks, if you have really dry skin you could try biotherm's intensive body treatment, it has apricot oil in it so it's really nourishing on dry skin. I have terribly dry skin and that works wonders.

I have tried SO many body lotions... my skin can get so itchy! Anyway, I don't know if this is a concern of yours or not but I have learned by trial and error as well as research to avoid lotions with out irritating ingredients. For me these are petrolatum, mineral oil and preservatives such as the parabens. There are a few more but I am too tired to remember them right now.
For the past 2 years I have been using Aubrey Organics hand and body lotion. It has been the best and I like the simple ingredients. I have used the SeaBuckthorn formula and am currently on my second bottle of Almond Colagen formula. Non greasy and the smell is mild and very pleasant. And for extra dry patches I use Weleda Skin Food. |

| Palmers cocoa butter is a classic favourite of mine. For something more intense I love the Body Shop body butter (nut is my favourite, it smells devine). |

Ive been really happy with Liz Earle's Nourishing Botanical Body cream... comes in a 200 ml tube, smells gorgeous, feels really nourishing and isnt too slick ... great all rounder.  |

| My drugstore brand is Aveeno Daily moisturizing lotion but when I put an order into EDS, Dermologica Hydrating Body Lotion is always ordered! |

| I have, and have tried sooo many lotions, from top of the line to dollar store kinds and I have repurchased many times Jergins Naturally Smooth. I've had people comment, "How do you get your legs that smooth!" and "I thought you were wearing pantyhose!". It's great lotion, I hope they never stop making it. I would cry. |
