this is really nice, the only complaint is that it does not really rub in that well. But hey, it is SOOOO moisturizing — 1 year, 3 months ago

Inexpensive and effective!
TwoBirds (284 reviews)

I love the scent of this lotion! It is soooo yummy. It is pretty strong, so if you aren't a fan of the sweet, chocolate scent you may want to skip this because your skin will smell like it. This is great for anyone with dry skin. It is rich and creamy, long-lasting and healing. It is a bit heavy for normal skin so I tend not to use it in the summer except if I have a sunburn. The best part is that this stuff doesn't cost much at all! — 3 years, 1 month ago

Rich, Moisturizing...And Smelly
nycmuse (49 reviews)

I am a body-lotion addict and apply it immediately after I step out of the shower, while my skin is still damp. This lotion is thick, creamy and wonderful. My skin can be ashy and itchy but Palmer's makes it feel soft, moisturized and so much more comfortable. When using this, be sure to spend some time just rubbing it in and letting it absorb before dressing ~ I usually just dry my hair and let my skin absorb it in the meantime. Unfortunately, this stuff is very strongly scented with a chocolate-y fragrance. I love the results, but am always dismayed that I'll head out smelling like a candy bar. And yes, if you use this and get dressed immediately, your clothes WILL smell chocolate-y, too. :( I believe they make an unfragranced version, will definitely try it in the future. But this is an excellent product that works without a doubt. — 1 month, 3 weeks ago

good for dry skin
Minibear (22 reviews)

After my teen years i noticed that my skin became really dry and itchy during the cold seasons. It was weird because I did not have dry skin before. So when it started I did not do any thing about it. I did not lotion up before, so i continued to ignore my skin. Then after awhile I could not skin would itch from the dryness. I decide to use Palmers because i had seen the commercials before and it was suppose to be good for my skin soft and preventing stretch marks... oh good kill two birds with one stone. Well the Palmers does feel rich and creamy and it did help relieve my itchy dry skin after a the first applications. after a week or so, my skin was back to normal. the only issue with this product is the smell. I do not like the smell of cocoa butter. I guess for me the smell is noticeable. But for people use to the smell it's not going to be an issue. I mean it does not smell bad. But it is not a smell I want to walk around with. For those worried about stretch marks... it is a smart idea to start using palmers or other rich lotions before you get stretch marks. it is a lot harder to get them to fade. Here's a last tip, make sure you let the lotion dry before you put on clothes, or it will end up feeling like the clothes are clinging to you... this may take up to 15 minutes. so do not over use, a little goes a long way and rub it in. — 2 months, 1 week ago

Love it!
Mari0laL (3 reviews)

I really love this! It's super moisturizing and even when I put it on my face it doesn't feel too heavy. I absolutely love the smell of it, it smells just like chocolate. I’ve actually noticed an improvement in my skin after using it for just a few days. — 9 months, 1 week ago

Cocoa Butter Classic
SunBunnyxxxooo (110 reviews)

Wow I have been using this lotion for years. It is soooo hydrating! And of course it smells delish! I only use it for moisture not for stretch marks, but I also dont have any stretch marks so maybe it is working for that too lol. — 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Cocoa is Intoxicating!
Glisten17 (48 reviews)

I LOVE this stuff! Honestly, my favorite lotion! It is so luxurious to apply as it is creamy and smells like you are putting on cocoa on your skin! For the winter time, this takes care of dry skin and leaves me glowing. I don't like the bottle so much because the lotion is thick and you can't get everything out of it! It is also, not expensive at all. — 1 year, 4 months ago

Gorgeous!
xtinytim (10 reviews)

I have dry skin, and this really does me justice. It smells delicious, literally like chocolate, and dissolves quickly into the skin, so you aren't all greasy. I am very impressed by this product, as it outdoes many high-end, expensive products. It's modestly priced, and well worth every penny! I'd strongly advice it if you suffer from dry skin. I'd steer clear if you have oily skin. — 1 year, 4 months ago
