Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion, Unscented Original – 32 Oz Review

I've loved this lotion for a long time and had to order from Revain because the local stores didn't have this scent. I love coconut scented lotions and chose Alba. First, the smell is terrible! There is a tiny (very small) hint of coconut coming out of the bottle BUT once you massage the lotion into the skin the coconut smell is gone. INSTEAD it smells like plasticine! I've never smelled anything so gross for lotion. If you're looking for a pleasant coconut scent, don't be fooled. Second, this…

I tried three different brands of sunscreen, wore long sleeves and jeans, and even cut down on my outdoor activities. It never occurred to me that this lotion could be the cause of the…

I have loved this lotion (Maximum Dry Skin) for many years. At first I liked him unconditionally. Then, as many have pointed out, the formula changed. It still worked well in terms of caring for very dry skin but was more waxy (both in texture and smell), didn't rub in as well and worst of all you were only able to get around 75% of the product. from a bottle. In 2014 I ordered 4 large 32 oz bottles and used up about 75% one after the other and no longer pumped out like a milkshake that was too
