Neutrogena Norwegian Formula, Intense Moisture Wrap, Body Treatment, Fragrance Free, 10.5 Ounce

I was using Neutrogena body emulsion for years, and considered that product the best on the market for dry rough skin. NOTHING worked better for me. When Body emulsion was taken off the market I was devastated. When all my reserves finished I bought this intense Moisture wrap on advise of Neutrogena customer service rep. it seem just OK. i am very annoyed by the fact that Neutrogena company took off the market one of their best products.

This is a fantastic product. I've been using this and their former version of it, the emulsion, for the past several years. I have severe eczema on my hands and extremely dry skin otherwise. My skin is so sensitive to any kind of scent, I can't even use most soaps or detergents without triggering a breakout on my hands. Most lotions are the same. I'd been to dermatologists since I was four, but occasionally, my skin would get so bad nothing at all would help. When your hands are so dry and raw that just flexing them to type makes them crack and bleed, putting on standard lotion feels like pouring straight alcohol on a cut. You name it, I've tried it, from vitamins to every other company's guaranteed-to-work lotions for sensitive, dry skin, to natural stuff- none of it works.

Except this and Neutrogena's fragrance free hand cream.

When my last dermatologist recommended these two products, I rolled my eyes and almost didn't try it because I've dumped so much money into various moisturizers over the years. Fortunately, he gave me a sample. Right after the first day I tried it, I went out and bought the three bottles CVS had on the shelf. It was the first time in my life that I was able to use a lotion while my hands were raw which didn't make me almost weep with pain. It didn't aggravate the itching, and it WORKED. I can't begin to describe the relief.

My one and only fear is that they'll discontinue the product. It's been increasingly difficult to find over the years, and I have no idea why. Walgreen's doesn't, CVS never carries more than a couple of bottles, and WalMart sells out as soon as they get the product. Thank goodness I can buy it online.

FYI, I'm not sure why the previous reviewer complained about the change from emulsion to moisture wrap. That change happened *three years ago*. I worried when I saw it, but Neutrogena's right it's the exact same stuff, at least in the fragrance free formula. Believe me, with my skin, I would know immediately if it wasn't, and I've used it every day since the name changed. It's just a difference in packaging and name.

I believe this is the replacement for the old Neutrogena Body Emulsion which they've discontinued. I don't understand why they'd do that but I'm not going to belabor something I have no control over. This is still a good product, works all day, just not as well as the old product. By the end of the day I have some skin dry-ness with this one whereas there was none with the old one. Having said that, it still works better than anything else I've used out there and the only reason why it's not 5 stars is because I'm leaving that empty in memory of the Body Emulsion.

--------------------------------------------

After using this for a while, I can definitely conclude the old Emulsion worked and this one just kinda doesn't. Not enough for my horribly dry skin, especially now that winter's on us. Now I'm just going to attempt to make my own body butter since everything else I've tried has been to naught.

I like this lotion, especially in winter when my skin tends to be dry and itchy.

But, I liked the "old" formula much better.

The new one has a scent that's too heavy.

I end up mixing the scented and the unscented about 50/50 (the unscented has a scent to me . . . kind-of a chemical smell).

A bit of a pain to go through.

The lotion itself is just right. Not too heavy or greasy feeling (for me).

I put it on after the shower before my skin dries out.

The old formula didn't require that I do anything, just use it.
