I discovered this because it came along with a package that included a body wash and some other things, (I mainly got the package for the other things that came with it) and while I wasn't originally a fan of the idea (I mean..how the heck was it supposed to work!), I was pleasantly surprised. I shower and use body wash every single day, use hot water, and in addition my skin is very dry. So after every shower I would usually use like half a freaking gallon of lotion all over my body and then add petrolatum on top to seal the moisture up...yet my skin would still end up feeling dry. Well, although I wasn't expecting much, I followed the directions and applied this after I used my body wash. It's not really all the thick, and when it hit my skin it blends up with all the other water and seemed to just even further liquefy. I wasn't expecting much moisture. I then just rinsed it off, got out, wrapped myself with a towel, and when I got to my room I was ready to do my long, daily after-shower routine, the first step being coating my body with lotion. Well, before I did, I felt my arms...and WOW. I was amazed. It felt like I just put on a lot of lotion, even better! I then proceeded to feel my whole body...and it was the same for everything! I only applied some of my regular lotion on my elbows and knees and that was it. It saved me SO much time! I will DEFINITELY repurchase. I'm so glad I discovered this! It only takes a minute to get on and rinse off, rather than 15 for the regular lotion routine, AND I don't have to used a lot! PERFECT solution for dry skin. :)

I used to use this a couple of years back when I judged shampoos by the way they smelled (and this..this smells awesome). But now, I refuse to use herbal essences shampoos unless I need to get rid of build up because I moisturize so much. I have several old shampoos I keep stacked away because they still have quite a bit of product left, and this is one of them. People, please pay close attention to the ingredients. Asides from water, the primary ingredients in this are "SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE" and "SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE", which do the "cleaning", but these are VERY harsh. We've all heard of sulfates. Sulfates are the cause for the dryness of hair and fading of color. They DO remove dirt, but they also STRIP you hair of it's natural moisturizers, and also quickly cause your color to fade. Now, I don't color my hair, but I am an expert in this area. Look into sulfate-free shampoos if you want healthier hair, with color that lasts! (and no overdrying!)

I wear my hair naturally, and I have a curly/wavy/straight mixture (I know, sounds odd!). It tends to feel dry, and it does get frizzy in certain areas. I apply this throughout my hair when it's damp, and let my hair naturally air dry. It is very light weight, and it smells AMAZING. It does ease some of the frizziness, but once my hair is dry I sometimes apply a tad bit more to those areas to smooth them out. It never weighs down my hair, and never makes it look greasy. It makes my hair feel softer, smoother, and the smell is terrific!
