What are you looking for in a lotion? I mean, it's a valid question. We all need to be moisturizing more, if we don't want to look like a Patriots game ball when we get old. (Zing!) My mother lived in a nudist colony for a while in her forties and lordy, she was lusciously brown when being tanned was a cool thing, but lemme tell you, if she hadn't slathered on her Nivea twice a day, she'd have been an actual football when she was 80. But she wasn't. She had the softest skin up until her final breaths and that is not a review for Nivea because that's not this product--it's just a warning to moisturize.
Me, I am picky about lotions because I hate that greasy feeling and I really hate flowery, cloying smells on my body or anywhere near my nose. No, I'm not one of those people who is allergic to strong perfume smells--I just hate them lingering around me. So when I choose a lotion, I have three qualities I search for: I want creamy but not sticky or greasy, I want a neutral smell or a slightly manly smell, and I want it to soak in like butter soaks into my wife's biscuits.
This lotion does all that (but don't put it on biscuits--trust me on that). It is not only inoffensive, it's rather pleasant. I've used the other "flavors" of Vaseline Men's lotion (Hydrating is OK, but it's a bit too thin), but I always come back to this one. I use it on my face, even. WHEN I DON'T HAVE IT, I START FREAKING OUT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M SHRIVELING UP. This one smells and feels the best, so buy it.
By the way, I'm a chick, so if you are too, and you think you HAVE to by flowery-smelling products because the marketing gurus have bamboozled you, I put my hand near your face like Diana Ross and I say STOP, in the Name of Lotion! You do not. I mean, if you LIKE those smells, go for it! But if you don't wear lotion cuz you hate smelling like the Queen's garden, this lotion is for you!
One other thing. I actually like the smell of this lotion. I used to think lotions labeled "unscented" were actually unscented, but oddly, they are not. And I don't like that smell. THIS LOTION SMELLS NICE.
