All in one (feet, face, arms & legs)
After shave✅
Great value
I’ve been using this for four months. An unplanned purchase at local supermarket.
With in 24 hours saw improvements in my skin; And very significant improvements over the last months.
My skin does have a tendency to get acne on occasion. I’m also sensitive to fragrances. There is some grapeseed oil in this, but it hasn’t caused any problems for me (Sixth on list of ingredients)
I like that it works everywhere: my face, my feet, body etc. I am diabetic, and I swim a couple times a week and during the winter months, indoor heating of course my skin can get pretty dry. I use it after shaving my face as well, excellent. Occasionally I have felt a mild sensation 15 seconds or so, on my face but rarely. I’m guessing it’s the urea.
It seems to actually improve the health of my skin overall not just moisturized it. Just has it had a visit to the foot doctor and they were impressed.
It dries quickly enough, and I use a generous amount, particularly all my legs. It’s so light that I was initially concerned that it might not have enough of the ingredients. My skin needs, but it does.
I have tried some other products. Some of been fine, including other Gold Bond products, but I didn’t like the way they felt on my skin; to heavy. This stuff is almost like not having any skin cream on after it dries. I do notice it, but it’s very light. Improves feel and appearance. Very good at moisturizing.
I think I don’t really like the feel petroleum but I’m not 100% sure. This product happens to be petroleum free. I’ve noticed with products with petroleum jelly in it. I feel a paste on my skin.
Ingredients are very similar to CeraVe moisturizer lotion (which I like too) but with iris and grapeseed oil added, and usual Gold Bond signature “seven moisturizers +3 vitamins.”
And since I carry the bottle in a gym bag a lot, I do like that the 14 ounce size locks. Nothing worse than having lotion all over your gym bag. Still, I would make sure to carry with care and place it, so that’s standing up in your bag.
Great find for me. Great job Gold Bond✅
