Review: Eucerin Plus Smoothing Essentials

Over a month ago, I received Eucerin Plus Smoothing Essentials 16.9 oz lotion to try.  I must say, that I’ve used Eucerin’s Original Moisturizing Creme before, and this product is a great improvement. Not as thick, heavy or sticky as the Original Creme.

Claims:

Eucerin Smoothing Essentials has a breakthrough formula that feels luxurious without a greasy feeling, and it doesn’t compromise on long-lasting moisturization.  It dramatically improves the condition of your skin to keep it feeling smooth and moisturized all day.

• Brand preferred by dermatologists
• Optimally formulated with skin-conditioning moisturizers to easily glide over your skin
• Strengthens skin’s barrier to improve its natural ability to retain moisture, while the gentle alpha hydroxy formula helps exfoliate and smooth skin
• Clinically proven to moisturize for 24 hours
• Fragrance-free and appropriate for sensitive skin

My thoughts:

Eucerin Plus Smoothing Essentials has the power of a body butter without the heavy feeling. It also absorbs into the skin really quickly.  It still moisturizes and doesn’t feel greasy.  Also, if you have an allergy to fragrance in products, this is also great because it is fragrance free.

My skin is dry, especially during the cold fall/winter months.  I definitely needed a lotion such as this one. This lotion has also been helpful currently in my pregnancy. My skin is stretching, and is sometimes dry, especially if I don’t drink enough water during the day.  This lotion really helps in keeping my skin moisturized, and relieves my skin from feeling tight. It leaves my skin feeling exceptionally soft and smooth.  So far, after using this lotion for over a month now, I have no stretch marks. None! Not even on my growing belly. I would show you a picture but, my stomach has gotten so hair. Mind you, I’ve never, ever had hair on my belly! Oh, the joys of pregnancy. Check my other blog, Beauty and the Bump for more about my pregnancy.

A little goes a long way.  Another thing I noticed when using this lotion.  One pump can coat an entire leg from foot to thigh.

I would definitely recommend this product to people who suffer from dry skin. Also, if you just love for your skin to feel smooth and soft, this is a product for you too!
