Curel Skin Nourishing Lotion
Claims: "Advanced Ceramide Therapy," which is supposed to hydrate the surface of the skin while giving nutrients to the skin that repair over time. Shea butter is supposed to soothe and smooth. Non greasy, noncomodogenic (won't clog pores), absorbs quickly, gentle enough for face.
Verdict: I bought this because I had the Itch Defense by Curel for a while, and while it didn't noticeably defend from itching, it was a good moisturizer. I'd throw a little on my face or hands at random points in the day, and it absorbed quickly and didn't feel greasy. I thought the Skin Nourishing would be more moisturizing, but it ended up stinging a little when I put it on (due to the amounts of eucalyptus, an irritant), and did little to keep my skin moisturized or nourished. The texture was nice, and it smelled a little of vanilla and honey (it's not actually fragranced; those are both ingredients that are supposed to be nourishing and/or moisturizing). I can't say that my skin feels nourished or moisturized at all after I've applied this. There are much better things out there.
Where to buy: Walmart, Walgreens, Target, Rite-Aid, Amazon.com, Drugstore.com.
List price: $8.49 (most of the above places are about $5.50)
Slightly dry - normal skin: 3/5. Smells nice, doesn't clog pores, lightly moisturizing. Good price.
Sensitive skin: 1/5. Stings due to the eucalyptus. Made me blotchy for a while after applying.
Very dry skin: 2/5. Might be an okay hand moisturizer during the summer. Otherwise, just doesn't have enough power.
