Vaseline has to be one of the brands I buy the most. This particular bottle has a flip lid which means you don't get the sometimes unfortunate misdirected squirts that can happen with the pump bottle.
The cream inside this bottle is a bit more liquidy that I would like and I feel they are perhaps economizng on their products slightly. Therefore the product can be slightly runny when applying it to the skin. However you can still get good coverage, just not quite a thick.
I really like the aloe vera component, it does definitely help replenish the skin.
After using Vaseline Aloe Fresh Hydrating Lotion my skin feels moisturized and refreshed and decreases in dryness with continued use. I prefer a few of Vaseline's other lotions, but this would certainly still be a contender, especially when it's on special at the supermarket.
This is a brand that has been around for years, I remember a bottle of the original version on my parent’s dresser. I think the only thing that has changed is the packaging and the addition of Aloe and Cocoa butter variants to the range.
The bottle is a rectangular shape that has a slight curve inwards on the rounded sides. It has a flat flip top lid so when you get to the end of a bottle you can stand it on its head to make sure you get everything out of it.
The product has a bit of a aloe cucumber smell but I think it is more chemical than natural. The lotion is pale green and is runny. The product once put on the skin goes into the skin with a bit of rubbing. For me I can still feel it on my skin about 12 hours later.
It is a product that has stood the test of time. More importantly I know that if I’m away or don’t see a moisturiser that I want to try and I can grab it, it works but it is not my first choice.
