WHY WE LOVE IT: "I tend to avoid body lotion because I don't like the greasy feel it gives my skin, but this stuff is like nothing else I've tried. It soaks in instantly and leaves the skin feeling completely dry but 10 times softer. If I didn't know it was Neutrogena, I'd easily mistake it for a luxury beauty buy."—Kate Ferris, Editor

USER REVIEW: "I could lather my body with this lotion every day and never get sick of it. Not only do I love the way my skin feels after (SO hydrated and healthy), but the ingredients are to die for.
