Editor Review

Rated a 6.5

Resist the temptation to scoop the frosting-textured, deliciously lemon-scented C.O. Bigelow Lemon Body Cream out of the tub and lick it. It's not edible. However its luxurious, "fragrance-free" formula, infused with shea butter, kukui nut oil and lemon extracts, smoothes and softens skin. I slather it on nightly and wake up with hydrated skin that remains scale-free all day. One HUGE warning: People have reportedly developed rashes after multiple uses, probably due to a sensitivity to lemon extracts -- so proceed with caution. Buy the travel size and do a patch test before using it all over.

    WARNING: MAY INDUCE HIDEOUS RASH!!!

    by mandalynnwin (7 reviews)
    I bought this stuff for the yummy lemony smell and creamy texture. It felt a little greasy when I put it on but I didn't mind. Then, horror of horrors!!! I went tanning the next day unaware that lemon oil (used in this product) can cause photosensitivity. YIKES!! I got the ugliest rash that looked and felt like permanent go...ose bumps. After searching the net to see if anyone else had experienced this, I found several people that had, and not just from tanning beds (like me) but by only being out in the sun for a short time. SO BEWARE!!! Spot test it (on an inconspicuous area) and go out in the sun to see if you react. Trust me, you do not want this rash. Thankfully, mine did not itch (as others said there's did) but it took FOREVER to fade away. Looking like you have plucked-chicken's skin is not good for one's self esteem. July 7, 2008, 10:51 am

    Makes your skin feel soft

    Lemon isn't really my scent. It does make your skin feel soft. I use at night so I won't have to smell it. It is also a bit pricey. May 26, 2009, 10:10 pm

    Beats body butter any day

    by fair_elaine (13 reviews)
    This is the lightest most moisturizing cream that I've ever applied that didn't leave any residue, just pure softness. Of course I'm now hooked to the body wash, hand cream and the most perfectly scented Lemon cologne. Great summertime choices. May 24, 2009, 6:24 pm

    Luv Lemons

    by NIKKI104 (30 reviews)
    I love the smell of lemons, so I was excited to find this at the local mall. It's very creamy and absorbs quickly into my skin. No residue or heavy matted feeling after applying. Smells great! The scent lasts for a very long time. May 8, 2009, 7:56 pm

    Not hypoallergenic

    by Jacki1982 (21 reviews)
    This gave me some crazy rashes and bumps all over my body! It just came out of no where and it was gross. It itched and it was just disgusting. It gave me goosebumps, and not in a good way. I had to return this. April 3, 2009, 1:37 am

    The quest is over!

    by caravanna (41 reviews)
    Top 500 Reviewer
    I'm obsessed with lotions & creams. I'm constantly on the quest for that perfect one - I want serious moisturization that absorbs quicky but leaves skin glowing, all while smelling wonderful. Well, this cream is it! I am in awe of how great this works, smells and absorbs to leave me smooth all day long. The scent fades ...after a few minutes, so you get a burst of freshness on application that never clashes with a perfume. It's absolutely perfect. October 23, 2008, 5:05 pm

    Really indulgent!

    by Terriandchas (3 reviews)
    I will never stop using this product. It goes on like it just melts into your skin. The frangrance is addicting, and I tend to always put a second layer on just because it feels so good to slather it. It also has skin brightening effects, so it helps lighted up those nasty brown aging spots on the back of my hands. I pu...rchased the giant tub of it when they had a promotion for it on the Bath and Body website, so I keep refilling my small container with that so I am never without it in my purse. Highly recommend this lotion. October 2, 2008, 8:46 am

    Yummy fragrance-like lemon meringue pie, and a great moisturizer. Use it all the time and have never had a rash. Just soft and fragrant skin. August 23, 2008, 11:48 pm
