Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

I've never had my skin burn
Going on the skin was fine but, within minutes, had super adverse reaction. They indicated this type of reaction could be the result of an open wound. I suffer from eczema so that could be it but I doubt it.

Despite my hesitation with the formula (fatty alcohols typically break me out), my body-skin loves this stuff. Lactic acid is hydrating and exfoliating. Leaves me softer than I've ever been. Somehow very well-tolerated by my extremely sensitive skin. (TMI) one of the first products I've tried that legitimately helped clear very stubborn butt acne. Echoing what others have said, it can sting upon application to broken skin (as would be expected with chemical exfoliators), so proceed with some caution. Interesting cheesy smell (lol) that I've grown to appreciate. Does apply a bit greasy but dries down quickly to lusciously soft skin and as of yet the only body lotion that my sensory-averse partner tolerates. Relatively affordable, highly efficacious, longstanding, US drugstore product. Very solid 4 stars.

This is a budget-friendly cream that I would recommend to anyone with dry to extremely dry skin for face or body use. Never had any issues with irritation regarding it. Given how thick this formulation is you would not need much of it for your face, so it lasts a long time. (I bought this product back in March 2023 and I still have a 1/4 of it left!). I ran into this product because I couldn't find my usual CeraVe Moisturizing Cream so this is a pretty solid dupe. Usually leaves my skin very moisturized, but with a more matte finish. Big fan of the pump dispenser as I find it more sanitary.
