Neutrogena Intense Repair CICA Emulsion, 450ml

I bought this because I liked the hand cream. It contains cica, so I was hoping it would also help with my rough back skin! This winter has been incredibly dry, and even with moisturizing, I often wake up at night with itchy skin, which was a real problem. It doesn't have a strong scent, and it's not particularly bothersome. The cream spreads easily, is easy to apply, and blends in smoothly, which is great. It doesn't turn white, so I quickly slather it all over my body after a bath. Since I'm using it all over my body, the large pump size makes it easy to use, which is great. My itching has subsided considerably, so I plan to use this in the fall and winter.

I've started using a second bottle, seeing as I can post about this too. I tried the cream in stores two years ago and it was good, so I had plenty to apply, and I was planning to buy it when I ran out, but I can't find it anywhere. Instead, it has the same green line, and since I didn't have the body lotion, the two-pack was a good deal, so I bought it. There are blue and red versions in the other series. I saw all the varieties on display at work, tried using it as a hand cream, and found this green series to be the best. It's moisturizing, but not sticky and smooth, and the hydration lasts. It spreads well, has no scent, is suitable for sensitive skin, and advertises cica ingredients, so I thought it wouldn't irritate. The body lotion I used in the summer was too light and didn't stop my skin from drying out, and Nivea products, perhaps because the base doesn't suit me, leave my skin feeling itchy no matter what I apply. My doctor told me I'd need to moisturize for the rest of my life as a side effect of my illness, so I'm prescribed Hylo-Roid. But it's expensive, and I only use it on the affected area, and I use body lotion all over my body, so it's a relief to find something that works. I bought it as part of a set that came with 250ml for the price of one bottle, but by the time I thought I should buy more, it was sold out. Please make it available again. I'll buy more in stock. I'd like to use this during the winter.

It becomes smooth

I've been wanting this product for a while! I ran out of the cream I'm currently using, so I bought the 250ml bottle to try it out. In the winter, my knees and elbows turn white and sometimes even flake, so body cream is a must during this time of year. My impression after using it is that it spreads well and even a small amount can be applied over a wide area, making it easy to apply. I use it after a bath, and it's not sticky and keeps my skin moisturized all day. I don't mind the scent, but I feel like people's preferences may differ. My children also have dry skin, so I plan to start using this with them once their current cream runs out.

I have sensitive skin and tend to break out in eczema when using body creams with strong fragrances, but I've been able to use this product without any irritation. Also, every winter, applying body cream would dry out my skin, leaving it feeling like it was bruising, but since using this body cream, that hasn't happened. It's a bit sticky, which makes it difficult to put on tights or heat tech even the next day, but I think that just shows how moisturizing it is, so I'm very happy with it.
