I'm looking for a fragrance-free moisturising body lotion that has a milk-like consistency/texture. I want it to be light and runny-ish but absorb well. I live in a hot and humid climate and even in winter I feel disgusting using moisturising lotions that are creamy and heavy in texture (I think this is also in part a sensory issue for me). I don't necessarily mind what other ingredients it has, ceramides, UREA, niacinamide are all acceptable to me. I’ve looked at the La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lait Body Milk Moisturiser and am wondering if it’s really milk-like, and what others’ experiences of it are. The price is the only real detractor. I’m open to any brands that are available in Australia, including KBeauty or other Asian beauty. Thank you! submitted by /u/feijoawhining to r/FragranceFreeBeauty [link] [comments]

I didn't eat anything new. Took an Advil yesterday? This morning I took Pepcid and my vitamins, but there's not much in those! Bug bites aren't out of the question (I was outside for a few this morning), but it looks more like "chicken skin" or some kind of slight contact reaction; I feel like bites are usually less widespread. Slight itch. I don't have many safe products at the moment, so I don't really have time to wait for my allergist or derm. They also don't know what to do with my reactions most of the time, lol. I'm not sure it's severe enough to patch test, and I can't ask them a question on the portal without having to wait 6 months for a $150 appointment. Plus they tend to prescribe stuff but not help me figure out what I'm allergic to, and it's always so obscure. So kind of at a loss, lol. Things had improved since I stopped using Vanicream eczema lotion (too thick) and Dove bar soap (developed an allergy). I keep developing contact allergies.

The Hyaluronic Acid body lotion has a really amazing fragrance plus suits my combination skin. (Repurchasing this one for sure) Retinol body lotion was just an add on in BOGO, and I didn't enjoy wearing it.

It's been difficult trying to find an effective leave-in conditioner or styling cream/gel that works for my fine + long 3b/3c hair that is fragrance-free, readily available, and contains silicones. I also need something affordable, so I'm not slowly bankrupting myself every time I wash my hair. 😬 In a bout of frustration I tried CeraVe's moisturizing cream on my hair last night then dried with my diffuser, and it's working really well so far? I'm not sure how it'll hold yet, but after my recent poor experiences trying other fragrance-free curly hair styling products it's nice to have good hair again. The only thing I'm worried about is build-up, because the moisturizing cream contains petroleum, but I'm considering switching to the lotion because it doesn't have it. Dimethicone build-up was something else I was worried about, but if I'm understanding right, sulfate or sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate shampoos will wash silicones out? I also noticed that CeraVe's moisturizing cream ingredients overlap a little with another fragrance-free leave-in conditioner: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream: Aqua / Water / Eau, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Petrolatum, Potassium Phosphate, Ceramide Np, Ceramide Ap, Ceramide Eop, Carbomer, Dimethicone, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cholesterol, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium Edta, Dipotassium Phosphate, Tocopherol, Phytosphingosine, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin Cloudd Leave-In Conditioner: Deionized Water, Aloe Barbadensis (Organic Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice (Humectant), Behentrimonium Methosulfate (Conditioning/anti-static agent), Cetearyl Alcohol (Emollient), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (Non-fragrant plant oil), Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (Non-fragrant plant oil), Glycerin(Humectant), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative). So, is there any reason why we shouldn't use body cream/lotion to style hair, particularly curly hair, or is it a very YMMV thing? Is it just "hair products are usually specifically formulated for the hair"? Thanks! submitted by /u/MILFVADER to r/HaircareScience [link] [comments]

Does anyone know which of these 4 would be most moisturizing? I used to use Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion for Very Dry Skin (blue label). It was my HG but obviously can’t repurchase. I live in a climate that is very dry most of the year and cannot find a suitable replacement (at a similar price point). I am considering the 4 in the picture. I have also tried and didn’t love: Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion Everyone Nourishing Lotion submitted by /u/angstyimpala to r/VeganBeauty [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, for the past 2 years I’ve been using the EOS Strawberry Dream lotion to moisturize my body. But recently I’ve been wanting to switch over to something fragrance-free and more natural. Here are the boxes I’m trying to tick off: - relatively inexpensive since I moisturize everyday - more natural than EOS (correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like EOS lotion is not the best thing I could be putting on my body) - scent-free - preferably not a sticky residue, however I’m used to it at this point because of EOS, so it’s not a top priority Thank you all in advance!! ☺️☺️☺️ submitted by /u/AppropriateWeird7057 to r/SkincareAddiction [link] [comments]

Revive RX Naturally Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides Face & Body Spray I have used this both on my face and body with no issues. I have also used both the OG and the new reformulations without any issues as well. Some folks say the new stuff has olive oil which may mess with their skin, so keep that in mind. I go through a bottle once a month to month and a half though am currently slowing it down to try out other toners on my body. Fragrance free, watery (similar to water, really). I have used multiple bottles of these, though more of the new stuff versus the old. If anyone has pictures of the old one with ingredients list, please list! - I use this once in the PM after my shower to add moisture (dry during winter as I can't get to putting lotion as quick nor can I stand putting it on anything but a towel dried body). It seems to lock in moisture and hopefully has extra goodies to add to your skin. For my face, I use it throughout the day as a refresher if I feel dry. - I will say, I use this product now more as a before lotion mist when I'm not using other toners up on my body, but have recently began using it to get the last bit of serums or lotion out of their bottles that I'm too lazy to cut (or they're glass and you can't cut). Just use serum or lotion up, add some of the spray in and shake and you can literally get every drop out of any bottle of anything! I figured a little bit of anything is better than nothing and makes it easier to rinse out the bottles for recycling or reuse later. For the lotion, it turns it into a watery serum like spray that is often scented (looking at you BBW) and you can layer that on top of your other lotions to extend the scent. For serums, it makes a nice watery body serum toner! Figured any little amount going on your body will help! It doesn't appear it really causes other folks issues, so I would say this is a good buy! Makes you feel super fancy adding another step (at least for me) which forces me to put lotion on (sensory issues), because you just can't be half assed fancy 🤣 I've already bought multiples and have used through various seasons, weather and temperatures. Sometimes I wonder if it's doing anything, but I do feel like it does help lotion sink in better than just putting it on slightly damp out of the shower. Hope this helps! Feel free to add input if you would like! submitted by /u/Coconut-Giraffe to r/dollartreebeauty [link] [comments]

I’m looking for a good sunscreen body lotion for daily use. I want something that is non-greasy, lightweight, and doesn’t leave a white cast. Right now I’m considering these two options: • SunScoop 5% Niacinamide Sunscreen Body Lotion SPF 50 • WishCare Sunscreen Body Lotion SPF 50 If anyone has tried either of these, which one works better for body sun protection? Open to hearing your experiences or suggestions. submitted by /u/velvet_rebel23 to r/IndiaSkincare [link] [comments]

Recently stole this chemist at play's body lotion out of my sister's collection and have been using it for the past month or so and absolutely loving it, the smell is great, it doesn't feel greasy on my skin (oily) as well since i sweat a lot, i layer it with my sunscreen whenever i go outside. Buttt about the magnesium part, i haven't been been seeing any changes in my sleep quality, almost feels the same? Should i apply it like during night time before i sleep or is it a gimmick? My muscles do feel less sore after my workouts since I've been using this especially after massaging it on my calves and shoulders. Really love the lavendar like smell tho!! submitted by /u/JealousAd6947 to r/IndianBeautyTalks [link] [comments]

I’m honestly exhausted from constantly switching body lotions trying to find one that truly works for my deep brown skin. I’m not looking for miracles I just want something that keeps my skin moisturized, smooth, and glowing all day without that ashy look creeping back by midday. Most lotions I try either absorb too quickly and disappear within hours, or they’re so thick and greasy that they just sit on top of my skin. I’ve tested everything drugstore brands, luxury “clean” beauty lines, shea butter blends, cocoa butter creams and nothing seems to strike the right balance between lasting hydration and comfortable wear. What’s even more frustrating is that many products labeled “intensely moisturizing” don’t seem formulated with darker skin in mind. Instead of enhancing radiance, they sometimes leave a dull film that actually highlights dryness. On deep brown skin, ashiness is much more visible, so a lotion has to both deeply hydrate and seal in moisture effectively. I’ve started paying closer attention to ingredients, comparing options across marketplaces like Alibaba and Jumia as well as specialty beauty sites, trying to figure out whether higher prices reflect better formulations or just clever marketing. So I’m curious what body lotions truly work for dark skin? Does “natural” really outperform synthetic formulas? And which ingredients should I prioritize (like glycerin, ceramides, or hyaluronic acid) or avoid? I’m simply tired of wasting money on products that don’t deliver real, lasting moisture. submitted by /u/Cute_Strawberry_5253 to r/BeautyGear [link] [comments]

I was using minimalist and plum sunscreens last year and they just felt very sticky, greasy or just uncomfortable out in the sun. But this sunscoop actually feels like a proper body lotion that just happens to have SPF 50+ PA++++ in it. Like i just get out of the shower, pump it out like a normal body lotion which acts as a sunscreen too 😭 Texture and feel Very smooth lotion texture. Not runny, not thick and spreads easily and absorbs pretty fast. After it settles, it doesn’t feel heavy or oily. My skin just feels normal and soft. I can get dressed in a few minutes without that sticky sunscreen feeling. It’s SPF 50+ PA++++ with broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection. I’ve worn it out in proper sun and didn’t notice tanning or redness. Ingredients I liked What makes it better than basic sunscreens is the added skincare. 5 percent Niacinamide to help with pigmentation and even skin tone. It has 5 Essential Ceramides too. Full ingredient list on the bottle: Purified Water, Octocrylene, Niacinamide, Octyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Trehalose, Methylene Bis Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, Avena Sativa Oat Kernel Extract, Oryza Sativa Rice Bran Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Aloe Vera Extract, Propylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Propanediol, 1,2 Hexanediol, Hexyldecanol, Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin, Ceramide AS, Ceramide NP, Ceramide EOP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide NG, Sodium Acrylate Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, C15 19 Alkane, Fragrance, Sodium Polyacrylate, PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer 6, Decyl Glucoside, Disodium EDTA, Lauryl Glucoside, Phenoxyethanol, Xanthan Gum. It’s also free from Benzophenone, Formaldehyde & Oxybenzone, atleast that's what the bottle says. Hydration It actually feels moisturizing. I’ve skipped my regular body lotion a few times and this alone was enough. No dryness, no tightness. I do not write such long reviews but i am fr in love with this Sunscoop sunscreen body lotion and is honestly the most comfortable body sunscreen I’ve used. High protection, good ingredients, lightweight feel and no greasy mess. For daily use, it’s a solid 10 for me. Definitely repurchasing!!! submitted by /u/sastiimasti to r/IndianBeautyTalks [link] [comments]

Most of the comments in this sub for Aestura are for their facial products (which I'm a fan of), but I don't see a lot of mentions for their body products, so I thought I'd share my experience. Full product names: Aestura Atobarrier 365 Body Cream Aestura Atobarrier 365 Body Lotion Tldr, I am in love with the Aestura Body Cream! Some background on me: I have eczema on my legs, specifically the kind that looks a lot like keratosis pilaris (KP). I think it's what is called follicular eczema. It's not itchy but it looks very unsightly. Red spots under the skin in some areas and bumps in some other areas. The bumps have some white plugs in them. For several years I tried every kind of exfoliant to address what I thought was KP but it didn't make the problem go away. Finally I went to a derm and got told it was eczema. I was on a steroid cream for about 2 weeks which got my skin nice and smooth, after which I decided to explore serious body moisturizing options for maintenance. Hence the Aestura body products. I've loved the Aestura 365 Cream and Hydroessence for my face, so I thought their body stuff might work for me too. I've previously tried many brands of body lotion, both AB and Western, and never quite felt like they pushed moisture into the skin effectively. As much as I love a fun fragrance, I felt like some of them irritated my eczema. Also, I feel like a lot of lotions seem to sit on top of the skin and feel greasy rather than penetrate properly. Like I'm still greasy the next morning. The Aestura Body Cream, on the other hand, sinks into my skin beautifully. I apply it at night right after my shower, then I wake up in the morning with smooth and hydrated skin. No stickiness! I prefer the Aestura Body Cream for my legs because of my eczema needs, but I like the Aestura Body Lotion for my decolletage and arms since it has a slightly lighter feel. I really wish the Aestura Body Cream came in a pump format. I think if they used a larger pump it would work. Curious to know what your experience has been with this range, and perhaps similar AB products that have also worked for you folks. submitted by /u/waterfairy314 to r/AsianBeauty [link] [comments]

Gosh this body lotion is sooo goooood . nourishing, mosturizing, repair skin barrier. I got this bottle 3 months ago , cause nothing was working for my skin . I was using tertinoin ( not a good idea ) , tret burned my skin , made it more sensitive to sun , even tho I was using sandwich method, still it compromised my skin barrier and everything was burning, so I got this body lotion ( it's for sensitive skin , eczema prone skin ) I applied this on my face I won't lie it kinda burned for few sec when I used this , but it's cause my skin was so much damaged back then ,for that d I applied petroleum jelly and no actives. After 10 days or so my skin was alright. And I thought of trying this again , and God this makes my skin so soft , if you have eczema , very dry sensitive skin , get it . Very budget friendly cause 1 bottle last you atleast 4 months. I got this from first cry with good discount. Some people will comment that first cry sell fake product so for that , I emailed minimalist only , and they confirmed it's a real product so don't worry. Suitable for eczema prone , senstive skin . Deeply nourishes and protects skin barrier . I paired this with bebodywise lactic acid body lotion and omg this combo removed my tanning and improved texture. 9/10✅ submitted by /u/bumblebeeeing to r/IndianSkincareAddicts [link] [comments]

I am trying to find a good body lotion that is affordable (around $20 or less). I’ve been using a Nivea one which works well, but Nivea products just have such a strong smell so I was thinking of finding something else to try. I found these 3 and I am having a hard time choosing between them. The added benefits are either a retinol, ceramides, or Hyaluronic acid. All great and I don’t know which would benefit me more. For context I have fairly dry skin. I don’t like really thick goopy creams or body butters so want to stick with lotions. submitted by /u/mdw2379 to r/30PlusSkinCare [link] [comments]

Very tired parents here. We were at our wits ends with our 9 month old. Doctors were useless “lol he’ll grow out of it, moisturize and use these steroids for now.” Rebounds after steroids made it worse than before. We were lucky to sleep for 2 hrs each for almost a month straight. I spent a whole weekend on PubMed doing research. Turns out people with eczema are colonized by staphylococcus aureus instead of good bacteria. We started treating the baby for staph and taking steps to encourage other bacterias to take hold, including applying topical probiotics. There’s been a few successful trials using strains of bacteria to treat AD, and we had nothing to lose. We got a 98% reduction in symptoms within a week. I’ll make a detailed post sooner or later, but a shift in treatment philosophy might be useful for some of you guys. Edit: Wow so much positive response! I’m getting a lot of questions from people asking for brief outlines of what I did, so hopefully this tides you over: Look up MRSA decolonization procedures and follow them. Get yourself some Hibiclens (chlorhexidine soap) and a topical mupirocin prescription. Don’t use the mupirocin for more than 10 days. Be aware that staph can build resistance to chlorhexidine. Bleach baths can be effective/soothing but do not actually kill bacteria (concentrations are far too low). The exact mechanism behind bleach baths are still unknown. Edit: I found a cool study that actually showed that bleach baths over the long term (a month and longer) actually led to changes in the skin’s microbiome composition. Less staph and more good guys! Get a good oral probiotic and some topical probiotic sprays (several available on Amazon). Bacillus subtilis and coagulans help kill/inhibit staph. Others help outcompete the staph. We rotate several to maintain a diversity of species. Streptococcus thermophilus, lactobacillus johnsonii, vitreoscilla filiformis, and bifidobacteriums are what you should be looking for to help outcompete staph and help your skin with ceramide production and healing. There has been a very interesting study on roseomonas mucosa but it doesn’t seem to be commonly available. Just because a bacteria hasn’t been studied doesn’t mean you should stay away, just that we simply don’t know. These will not live on skin permanently and fix you long term. Frequent reapplication is needed. If you cannot access probiotic sprays, get probiotic capsules with high CFUs (less filler, more active spores) and mix them with hydrogel (currently using McKesson) and apply that topically. Hydrogels seem to be one of the most effective spore carriers that helps the spores to adhere and germinate. Hydrogel also moisturizes. If you need more info on specific probiotics, I answered that somewhere in the comments. Short answer: Garden of Life Skin+ is good but also has lycopene that turns it red. If the red is a problem, you can buy the bacteria strains I listed individually and blend them together. When I go this route, I just open the capsules and pour out like a quarter of each of them into a few mL’s of hydrogel, mix it up, and apply. Use prebiotics (microbial foods for good bacteria) like GladSkin (arginine is a prodrug for urea; has protein complex that feeds bacteria) and MiteBGone (contains sulfur. It stinks, but it feeds good bacteria and staph doesn’t like it; also contains tea tree oil which is known to inhibit staph). Smart lotion contains both sulfur and hydrocortisone, but we prefer to apply topical steroids infrequently and separately. Daily hydrocortisone use can thin the skin and has other drawbacks you can look up. Moisturize. Our go to is EpiCeram (prescription only in US; contains lipids the skin needs to repair itself). Other stuff: Amerigel Hydrogel contains oak tannins that fight staph and is an astringent that helps weeping wounds heal and is a great moisturizer. Aloe and coconut are also nice moisturizers that staph does not like. Edit: As time goes on, the more impressed I am with this Amerigel. It’s being used in long term wound care to prevent staph/MRSA because it doesn’t seem to create resistance. And I’m talking pretty gnarly wounds, like diabetic ulcers on feet. Don’t just take my word for it! Start googling or searching PubMed for “topical probiotics atopic dermatitis” and the stuff I’ve mentioned. Unfortunately, this is a shotgun approach by a desperate dad, and not a scientific approach. I can’t tell you which of these treatments are the most important/effective. But it’s a shotgun approach that at least has some evidence behind it. Look for scientific journal articles and reviews. Any other sources like health/beauty sites and mommy blogs should be taken with a grain of salt and further investigated through PubMed. The science is out there! Eczema is crazy complex, poorly understood, and can have many causes. Just because this worked for us doesn’t mean it will work for you. My infant has had zero negative reactions to anything I’ve listed here, but make sure you research ingredients and spot test before slathering anything on your child or yourself. But I truly hope this helps some folks. Edit 2/Update: The scope of this project has broadened considerably as I get sucked further down this rabbit hole. I am currently on a side quest exploring acidification of skin as a therapy. The severity of AD flare ups directly corresponds to ph. The higher the pH, the worse the flare up. There have been studies that found that found acidification of skin with polyhydroxyl acids (PHAs) not only prevents AD development, but halts the atopic march in murine models. They simply added PHAs to Cetaphil. Cetaphil is usually ph 7.4; the researchers brought down to ph 2.8. I will be incorporating skin acidification into our routine for our son. Edit/Update: we’ve also been using AmLactin rapid relief and a lotion (Neostrata) with PHA for a week now and so far so good! My wife can’t stand the smell of the MiteBGone, so I only use it when she’s away at work. I still want to keep tea tree oil in the rotation, so we add a drop here and there to other treatments. Yes, I’m still working on this paper. The scope keeps getting larger and larger as time goes on and I sift through more and more research papers. Life is crazy rn and it will take some time, but I’ll finish eventually. I was a molecular neuroscience and biochem nerd in another life, and I never expected to be teaching myself all the pathways involved in atopic dermatitis, yet here we are. Edit 3 or 4: Over the past 10 days, the importance of acids has been apparent. AmLactin Rapid Relief has become the moisturizer we reach for the most. Very fast redness relief, not a single hint of flaring since we started using it (still using the other stuff throughout the day too). We cover him head to toe immediately after the shower/bath. Using it in conjunction with the Neutrogena PHA cleanser and the Eczemact Body Wash has been huge for us. Switching to ph balanced cleansers have also allowed us to increase the frequency of bathing. Things are going very, very well over here. Edit 5 (almost 6 months later): Our son is still clear and free! We still use the AmLactin and PHA lotion in rotation, but we only moisturize once per day (twice if he takes a bath, which happens every 2-3 days). We haven’t had to use mupirocin or hydrocortisone in months. Every few weeks, we might see that purplish tint to his skin that precedes a flare up. When that happens, we use a dab of Hibiclens and it clears up within a few hours. We are still applying topical probiotics, but only once per day. The most recent round of IgE testing has revealed that he is no longer allergic to soy, wheat, or oats. We have incorporated those foods back into his diet with zero problems. He is still allergic to peanuts and diary, but he is now less sensitive to both. He went from level 5 to 3 for peanuts and level 4 to 3 for dairy, 5 being the most allergic. We’re on the right track. It really does seem that we’re reversing the atopic march. The amount of love I have received for this post has been unreal. 6 months later, I am still getting regular DM’s from patients and parents saying that this has changed their life, with many reporting total relief. I am so glad my combing through the research has helped so many people, I and am truly touched by all your messages. Seriously, it makes my day when I hear from someone who is enjoying a better quality of life. What a great community. 2/19/2024 Edit: This NIH-funded study found that a specific strain of b. subtilis (MB40) resulted in a major reduction (95% in gut, 65% in nostrils) of staph colonization. The MB40 is available for a reasonable price from AmeoLife. Some success stories from other anti-staph subreddits have started to trickle in. Personally, we have just incorporated it into our routine. I think this could be HUGE, since our guts and nostrils are reservoirs for reinfection. (Side note: make sure everyone in your house decolonizes together) Will update about after allowing the probiotic to do its thing for a while month. In the meantime, we are switching to HU58 b subtilis and megasporebiotic for topical use. Unfortunately, the AmeoLife has other ingredients besides probiotics, so we’re avoiding it for topical use. The megasporebiotic has some other bacillus strains known for skin-colonizing and anti-staph properties. However, I can’t vouch for its safety or efficacy yet. Use at your own risk. 2/21/2024 Edit: So there have been some pretty promising studies on Vitreoscilla filiformis extract. It’s a prebiotic that’s selective for good bacteria. Looks like a new product line from L’Oreal was released that contains said VF extract. I’m particularly interested in the “La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+” that’s endorsed by the National Eczema Foundation. It should be available online and at major retailers. I’m gonna pick some up. I’ll add that while my son def isn’t having a flair up, this is the worst his skin has looked in months. Winter sucks. submitted by /u/NJoose to r/eczema [link] [comments]
