I found this bottle of lotion in a box I hadn't yet unpacked from my move (even though it was like 5 months ago!), and I had just finished off my Curel Skin Nourishing Lotion (last post). I was ready for something more heavy-duty to make up for the lackluster moisturizing of the Curel, but I hate having greasy lotions. It looks pretty promising.
Sebamed Moisturizing Body Lotion for Sensitive Skin
Claims: Hypoallergenic, noncomodogenic, same pH as healthy skin (5.5), quickly absorbed, nongreasy, nonirritating.
Verdict: It's definitely a light lotion, I'll give it that. I have had no problems with breakouts, and it seems gentle enough for my face. The pH thing is a big seller -- one of the things that I had to use as a teenager was a pH balancing prescription cream since my skin was always too alkaline. Once I'd used that for a while, I saw some serious improvements. This isn't quite as great, though it keeps moisture in much better than you'd expect for such a watery lotion. It does have fragrance, which is odd for a lotion specifically marketed at sensitive skin. It actually smells fairly strongly of perfume. It didn't bother my face or my arms, but my back gets seriously blotchy whenever I use it there.
Where to Buy: Sebamedusa.com, Walgreens, Drugstore.com, Amazon.com
List Price: $12.99
Slightly Dry to Normal Skin: 3/5. Absorbs quickly, nongreasy, won't clog pores, moisturizing. The smell can be unpleasant. There are cheaper options available.
Sensitive Skin: Your mileage may vary. It didn't bother my face, but bothered my drier shoulders and back.
Very Dry Skin: 2/5. Used right out of the shower, it feels like it locks moisture in. I haven't noticed any moisturizing effects when I use it on dry skin, though.
UPDATE: After using it for a little while, I can say that the moisturizing effect isn't as great as I thought. I'm left feeling tight and dry, though it helps deal with my flakiness. It may be a better product when combined with a body oil.
Ingredients: Water (aqua), cetearyl alcohol, glycerin, sorbital, mineral oil (paraffinum liquidum), sodium lactate, decyl oleate, chamomilla recutita, lecithin, ascorbyl palmitate, allantoin, caprylic/capric triglyceride, sodium cetearyl sulfate, dimethicone, sodium citrate, fragrance (parfum), alcohol denat., methylparaben, phenoxyethanol, propylparaben
ReplyDeleteThe Amazon webpage indicates that this is for normal to oily skin, which is a good reason it isn't moisturizing enough for me. I'll use up the bottle, but this is definitely not a repurchase.
