Vaseline Intensive Rescue Hypoallergenic Moisturizer
Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisturizer
I came about this lotion randomly when walking in store. I can never help but go down the lotion isle to hopefully find something that looks interesting, is cheap, and may possibly help my eczema skin. On this day that I decided to take a stroll down lotion lane, I found this vaseline moisturizer and let me tell you, I love it!
It Has All The Pluses
To start off,
this lotion is Fragrance Free. Yay!
this lotion is non-greasy. Double yay!
this lotion is hypoallergenic. Triple yay!
Just by looking at the bottle and reading all three of those, I was bout ready to snatch it up, and I did ^_^
Honestly, the hypoallergenic part is what really bought me. For those who may not fully understand what hypoallergenic means: it is a lotion that will not cause an allergic reaction (most of the time). With my skin, everything seems to agitate it, which is why I was really drawn to this particular product.
The Purpose Behind This Lotion
The purpose behind this lotion is to heal dry skin without the feeling of "sticky" or "greasy". As the bottle reads, "Its unique formula accelerates skin's healing process by tripling skin's moisture reserves instantly."
And then it has check marks that read "Repairs & softens", "24 hours of therapeutic moisture", and "for dry to very dry skin."
To be honest, I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this product–apart from the fact that it is not meant for eczema and will most likely not cure your skin. This is just a really wonderful moisturizer that has never had a negative impact on my skin.
Great for Summer
When buying eczema creams and lotions, it is best to have a thick moisturizer for the winter and a thin moisturizer for the summer. This moisturizer is definitely not heavy on the skin and is something that would work wonders for someone with eczema. From personal experience, if I wear thick lotions during the hotter seasons, I tend to sweat more, which is not a good thing.
More Vaseline Intensive Rescue Info
Ingredients:
The ingredients aren't much different from the average lotion or moisturizer. I have not come across anything that could be harmful to your body or skin.
Money versus Value:
Your definitely get what you pay for when you purchase this product. I bought it a couple times and each time it averages between $5 and $7 and you get a large 24.5 fl oz bottle. (That is big compared to some moisturizers you buy for eczema).
The Smell:
If you have read any of my other eczema reviews, you will find that I love commenting on the smells. I guess smell is something that matters to me and if anyone else happens to be like me, they may want to know too. You never know. =P
Anyways, the smell is not disturbing like other eczema lotions I have reviewed, such as Dermarest. It is a nice, calm smell. I don't really know what to describe it like, but I personally love it and it is one of the reasons I like to put this lotion on so much.
Texture:
This lotion is white and creamy. When you put it on it is very gentle, very soft, and cool. I wish I had more words to describe it because this lotion is truly awesome! After putting it on, it doesn't leave any nasty after-feels. Your skin actually feels soft.
Recommended to Everyone
I would recommend this product to anyone who suffers from eczema. I have used it all over my body, after showers, before bed, and randomly throughout the day. I have not once gotten a bad reaction.
I would also recommend this product to anyone who has dry skin or simply wants a nice moisturizer. You never know, if you end up trying it, maybe your friend could benefit from it as well. =)
Take care of your eczema
