9 Worst Drugstore Body LotionsSee which ones, from Aveeno to Vaseline, won't be on readers' shopping lists ever again |
These days, we expect our body lotions to do a lot more than simply moisturize dry or itchy skin. So many products advertise everything from anti-aging benefits, stubble reduction, firming and more — and TotalBeauty.com readers expect them to deliver on those promises. We think that's only fair, a body lotion — or any other product — shouldn't make promises it can't keep, right?
Sometimes a body lotion will live up to its claims, take the ones on this list for example. But other times, the claim is just that — a claim and nothing more. The body lotions on this list, unfortunately, don't live up to many of their promises.
Check out the list on the following slides to see which body lotions most disappointed TotalBeauty.com readers. Some of the body lotions made false claims, while others had problems with their scents or grease-factor. Whatever the reason, you'll want to steer clear of these lotions the next time you have dry skin, or want to fix another body issue like cellulite or stubble. Because while some of them may offer you some moisture, they're simply not equipped to do much else. Is it time we lowered the bar? Nah, we think it's time body lotions raised their standards of what really works.

I tend to like many drugstore products. Most of them don't have good ingredients in them to really hydrate.

Some of these are good, and I have to disagree. But it's always good to have a professional opinion . . .

The Aveeno is greasy and I ended up with clogged pores. But being so sensitive to frgrance left me little choice in the aveeno department.

Totally agree with all of these especially the Sally Henson one.
