"This product does exactly what is says on the bottle- Soothing. I suffer from dry itchy skin especially in the winter with the heating. It really helps relieve itching and moisturises very well. I recommend it to anyone who suffers from dry itchy skin in the winter months."

"LOVE this lotion!"
Date: December 3, 2012
Pros: soothing and healing very dry bumpy skin
"I've been using this lotion exclusively for the past year and have just started using it on my 3 year old daughter as well. I have struggled all my life with little bumps on my cheeks and upper arms called Keratosis Pilaris or KP for short and this is the ONLY lotion I have ever used that has truly helped with it. My daughter has KP as well and after trying many other recommended lotions for her I finally decided to give the Oatmeal Shea a try and it has worked WONDERS on her cheeks and arms. Thank you St. Ives for such an effective, affordable lotion that works like MAGIC!"

"Fantastic!"
Date: November 4, 2012
"I just discovered this lotion about a month ago, and I'm so thrilled to have stumbled onto it! It's by far the best I have ever tried to relieve dry, itchy skin - and it's very reasonably priced as well. Wonderful scent too - a top quality all-around body lotion."

"Wonderful product"
Date: May 5, 2012
"I have had dry, itchy skin for as long as I can remember, but I always ignored the problem because I hated greasy lotions. A friend of mine had another St. Ives product that I liked, but when I saw this in the store, I thought I'd give it a try. How wonderful! My legs don't itch, and the smell of the lotion is nice too, not too strong. It's my first time buying a St. Ives product, but I will buy more! :)"

"one of the best"
Date: April 21, 2012
"One of the best lotions, and I've tried them all, and all of St. Ives too. My other favorite is the Mineral lotion from St. Ives, they both deservea 5 star. I have dry eczema prone skin and it works without itching and has a nice light fragrance, The price was great and I put it on every day and night and smells lovely."

"As a guy who has dry, itchy skin almost year round, I've never found a porduct better than this to relieve the itchiness and dryness. I've tried many different anf far more expensive products in the past but once I tried St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter Skin Lotion, I stopped looking any further. Thanks!"

"GODDESS-LIKE SKIN"
Date: January 12, 2012
Pros: dry skin
"As if the same variant of body wash isn't enough, I tried to match the Oatmeal and Shea butter lotion with the same body wash, and guess what?
I get compliments from family and friends, saying that I look YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL, AND GLOWING. No skin care product has ever given me such accolades from people. St. Ives, you're amazing! After my daily bath of Shea Butter body wash, I apply Shea Butter lotion all over my body and oh boy this product truly works wonders. Dry skin no more, my clothes glide on my skin, and the lotion is quickly absorbed. The smell is fabulous too!
I recommend this product to all women out there who suffers from dry, scaly skin, especially women who live in hot, humid countries like the Philippines. You won't regret it."

Pros: anyone!
"I bought this lotion instead of Aveeno trying to save money a couple of years ago. I am so glad I did. It is so much better than that other stuff. I am now a faithful user and will never go back. This lotion has the best consistency and smell. Thanks for a great product."

"I used to use this product every day for years...but I noticed the bottle I bought recently said "new" and unfortunately it had a sour smell to it.....and all of the bottles smelled the same way. I exchanged it. I'm not sure what they changed, but I hope they go back to the old formula."

"By far one of the best lotions ever!"
Date: April 17, 2011
"Most lotions do not work for me but I, like others, have to use something. I use to use another lotion but they discontinued it years ago and ever since I have not been able to find anything that satisfied me.
After seeing your cute commercial, I thought I would give this one a try. OH MY GOSH!!!!!! I am so glad I did. I love the feel, the light fresh scent and how it leaves my skin so unbelievably soft and hydrated without that heavy, greasy feeling.
Thank you so much St Ives, I will definitely be a consumer from now on!"
