No. 7: Jergens Age Defying Multi-Vitamin Moisturizer, $7.49

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.8*
Why: While readers concede that this "moisturizes just fine," they're skeptical about the anti-aging benefits. "This one doesn't do anything more for anti-aging than any of their other products," one reader says. Another calls it "nothing special."

Useful info. Glad I don't have any of these!

I tend to like many drugstore products. Most of them don't have good ingredients in them to really hydrate.

good to know!

Some of these are good, and I have to disagree. But it's always good to have a professional opinion . . .

Won't be trying these any time soon.

The Aveeno is greasy and I ended up with clogged pores. But being so sensitive to frgrance left me little choice in the aveeno department.

Totally agree with all of these especially the Sally Henson one.

Just makes me wanna try some of these lotions.... I don't know why.

nice

Trial and error can become expensive. Good to check in with Total Beauty before you buy!

by EricaF123 Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 11:42AM Report as inappropriate

Yea I've tried a few of those products and they totally deserve to be on here and I will likely stay away from the others as well.

by Yugi_Hoshi Monday, December 17, 2012 at 12:41PM Report as inappropriate

Thanks for the warnings!

by robyne00 Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 04:29PM Report as inappropriate

I'm a little skeptical about the ability of any drugstore lotion to be firming, not just these ones.

by schien Monday, November 12, 2012 at 11:17AM Report as inappropriate

I was very surprised about Aveeno because I have always heard great things about that brand but will steer clear of the others for sure.

by Lamexicana1 Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 05:27PM Report as inappropriate

Surprised to see Burt's Bees, while i haven't tried the specific lotion mentioned, I tend to be really into their lotions.

by BeautyPirate Friday, October 5, 2012 at 07:32AM Report as inappropriate

Haven't tried any of these.

by Chris213 Sunday, September 30, 2012 at 11:45AM Report as inappropriate

My mom just had a pretty bad allergic reaction to the Eucerin. Vaseline is much better!

by WiccanLady Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 10:39AM Report as inappropriate

Totally agree....nice info.

by Ydabney Wednesday, September 26, 2012 at 11:01AM Report as inappropriate

I actually liked aveeno!

by lisiana_de_bem_justino Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 08:08PM Report as inappropriate

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

by Cheryl5752 Thursday, April 26, 2012 at 09:35PM Report as inappropriate

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

by MissXu Sunday, April 15, 2012 at 02:39PM Report as inappropriate

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

by yestfl Sunday, April 1, 2012 at 10:11AM Report as inappropriate

Some of these picks surprised me!

by Nicole1021 Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 01:34AM Report as inappropriate

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.

by catalinahx Monday, March 19, 2012 at 11:18PM Report as inappropriate

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

by powerwoman033 Monday, March 12, 2012 at 09:33PM Report as inappropriate

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.

by mrselliott08 Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 04:42PM Report as inappropriate

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.

by LMarie27 Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 07:20PM Report as inappropriate

I have never personally tried any of these lotions. I am surprised to see Burt's Bee's on the list!

by Shawnalaa Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 07:57PM Report as inappropriate

everyones skin is different and therefore products will work differently for each individual

by gloriab99 Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 12:35PM Report as inappropriate

i actually kind of like the burts bees radiance lotion

by anna_davis Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 04:44PM Report as inappropriate

I thought the Eucerin Calming itch relief would be good for me because my arms itch. I guess its not as great as it sounds.

by gaej19 Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 10:41AM Report as inappropriate

I don't think that all of these lotions deserve to be on the worst list. Aveeno, Burt's Bees, and the Dove lotions are nice. I've never had any problems with them at all.

by taryn.romero Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 08:38AM Report as inappropriate

Dove Firming Beauty Body Lotion is not that bad at all. Honestly if you think that a lotion will firm up that butt and remove cellulite than you must be too gullible because there is not a lotion in the world that can replace years and years of exercise and good,healthy food. This particular lotion smells awesome and fresh,not sticky and has a pleasant texture.

by selma Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 12:01PM Report as inappropriate

I like the Kerry lotion for my legs

by Only1KimmieD Monday, August 22, 2011 at 06:00AM Report as inappropriate

I'm surprised Burts bees is on here!

by Bon_Bon Monday, August 15, 2011 at 12:46AM Report as inappropriate

Aveeno is amazing, why is it on here?

by lanigaga Sunday, July 31, 2011 at 06:06AM Report as inappropriate

I've never tried any of these, but the Aveeno brand makes pretty decent products. I'm suprised its on here.

by gaej19 Friday, June 3, 2011 at 02:19PM Report as inappropriate

Im surprised as well that Aveeno is on here! However, i havent liked any eucerin ive used, so no surprise there. I also would never use a lotion with the word jelly in it's name lol.

by kelser11 Saturday, May 14, 2011 at 06:38PM Report as inappropriate

havent tried any aveeno but maybe i might.

by sandyc Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at 01:34PM Report as inappropriate

What? I love the Aveeno!!!

by OSUgirl Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 06:49AM Report as inappropriate

I haven't tried any of those, but I'm surprised Aveeno made the list, especially since the current average rating is almost an eight.

by LipglossandSpandex Sunday, April 17, 2011 at 05:04PM Report as inappropriate

I've never used any of these, and I'm so glad I didn't. I've never like St. Ives products to be honest, but I'm surprised Eucerin and Aveeno are up there...wow

by msbrown822 Friday, April 15, 2011 at 07:06AM Report as inappropriate

aveeno?! D:

by yckitsmary Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 07:28PM Report as inappropriate

Good tips! I haven't tried any of these, but I definitely know now to avoid them!

by volta Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 11:33PM Report as inappropriate

well honestly these don't even sound good...wouldn't have tried them in the first place

by naughtnone Wednesday, March 9, 2011 at 01:29PM Report as inappropriate

vaseline lotion- ew, and anything with the word "jelly" in it makes me sick just thinking about putting it on my skin.

by Bon_Bon Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 10:39PM Report as inappropriate

I hate all vaseline lotions because they feel so disgusting.

by CliniqueLover Monday, January 17, 2011 at 03:08PM Report as inappropriate

another great lotion: i love olay body quench (which is not on this list); it is practically my favorite body lotion ever!

by kenya Sunday, December 26, 2010 at 10:19PM Report as inappropriate

oops there's the same products on worse

by jjab1999 Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 09:30PM Report as inappropriate
