Johnson & Johnson is known for its amazing baby products. I admit, I'm one of the many who scoured the baby aisle, buying products made for infants instead of the lotions and oils made for adults. J&J have mastered the art of super-light, perfect-for-sensitive-skin-yet-yields-amazing-results beauty product. Thankfully, they're transferred this art to their "adult" line.
I purchased the small size of Johnson's Softlotion 24 hour Moisturizer while looking for a new purse-size hand lotion. Living in Hawaii, there are few places for me to find really lovely lotions; I tend toward the more expensive, more foreign, lesser-name brands, which are pretty much non-existent here. I tend to view drugstore brands with some trepidation: from experience, you get what you pay for. Cheap prices usually equals cheap product.
Johnson's Softlotion 24 hour Moisture lotion is the exception to the drugstore rule.
Personally, I think the smell is wonderful: a light, sweet, cherry-vanilla. It fades quickly enough, so it isn't cloying, but I can see how this would be a problem for some.
The texture is quite nice. It's lighter than I'm used to, since I've been using creams rather than lotions. It's not sticky at all, which is an issue that I had with creams, especially those that are for very dry skin. Despite the lightness, it moisturises incredibly well -- if not for 24 hours, then long enough that you'd notice that you're putting less and less lotion on during the day.
This is a wonderful summer lotion option: it's light and incredibly softening; it's not at all sticky or greasy. All in all, highly recommended. I have a new favourite everyday hand lotion.
