The Worst Drugstore Body Lotions

See which ones, from Aveeno to Vaseline, won't be on readers' shopping lists ever again

2 of 10

No. 9: Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion With Sunscreen, $8.99

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 7*
Why: Readers thought this was much more of a sunscreen than a lotion. "It has an incredibly strong sunscreen smell," one reader says. "It's strange because their [Aveeno's] actual sunscreens smell less like a sunscreen than this," another adds. Besides their number one problem with the smell, one reader also says, "It seems really thick and pasty … I can't tell where it helped my dry skin at all."

Tried many of these and totally agree. I finally found a winner at drugstores: Vaseline Intensive Rescue Clinical Therapy!

What I'm so surprised that the aveeno is rated so low!

I have tried some of these, and they can be bad. I agree that the Suave lotions are quite bad.

Some of these picks surprised me!

Suave lotions are terrible! I have a bottle that I still need to throw out. TERRIBLE. The scents almost break me out - very cheap quality.

I need more moisture than any of the above lotions offer. I have to get the Bliss Body Butter.

Not really surprising, a lot of them were "firming" lotions, and I really don't think you can get much firm out of a lotion.

i'm really surprised that suave lotions aren't on this list at all. they're very watery, cheap and not very moisturizing. i'm surprised aveeno is on here too! i love their lotions. they really help out my dry hands.
