I know that people on here got to trial and review this product, but has anyone else tried it? What do you think of it. I'm thinking of getting the moisturiser for Josh as his face is very dry and scaly, but would like to hear what other think of the stuff before I go out and spend $8 on a bottle.

I also was wandering what it was like as I can't use normal Johnson's on James he seems to react to something in it basically just been wandering if it is completely natural or not.

I'm not sure if it is completely natural, but we cant use any of the other Johnsons bath washes with Hannah (dried her out) but this one was fine. And I'm not just saying it cos we trialled it.

toby used to have dry skin and because of his age i wouldnt put anything on his skin... give it a chance to self correct. i found the johnsons too harsh on my exczema in that it made it sting.

I have just been using Olive oil and water I thought they did a shampoo thats why I was wandering but the shampoo that I got from the chemist seems to be fine. So I might just keep using that I think. James would come up all rashy with the normal Johnsons products.

One of the moisturisers is "intensive" and the other one is "regular". I have a sample sachet of the Soothing Naturals Nourishing Lotion if you want it, mummybecks -- just PM me your address and I'll post it to you! It's 5ml, enough for at least a couple of applications.

I like using it on me  But I wouldn't put it on my babies  Not that it's not good stuff, that intensive moisturising cream is great on sunburn, but Mercedes in particular has super sensitive skin so I'm reluctant to put anything on it.

I was wondering too what it was like, but like Emma's gremlin Mercedes, Alize has super sensitive skin My 11yr old is the same and still cant use most lotions and potions on the market.

you cant go past just a basic water based moisteriser from the chemist. costs about 10 bucks a pot, it doesnt have any fragrance or alcohol which acutally drys out the skin (like alot of the baby ones do) some that contain laurate (i think thats it) actually draw the moisture out of the deep layers of the skin to the surface to make the skin soft on the outside = go figure. and are actually bad for babies. i'm not sure if j and j contains this ingrediant or not but the one from the chemist is real good -thats what was recommended to me and the best,cheapist and most natural one.

Just to answer the earlier question, it has natural ingredients but not completely natural. Still has a few nasties in it... cant remember offhand but possibly parabens in it.
And becstar, aqueous cream is pretty simple but not natural... still made out of man-made chemicals. Still definitely the cheapest and great for sensitive skin. Can use it as a soap substitute too.

I was just looking at the ingredients.Yep yalanna, doesnt look natural to me.
I like it lots and use it on Brae & myself. But it would depend on your skin type

Zaara doesnt have bad skin *touch wood* but I thought this is a great lotion...as it leave her nice and soft and smells great to.
Mind you the lotion from the pink bottle did the same thing.
I would use both, if the this one is on special I would grab a few.

I'll keep buying the intensive moisturiser - the one in the tube. The one in the bottle makes for a nice massage cream on Ella, but isn't strongly moisturising (I just don't like using a lot of baby oil on her, and this is a good substitute). It's not all natural products but a quick peek at the ingredients will fill you in. The intensive moisturiser has fewer chemical ingredients in it though. It's helped stave off Ella's eczema. (not just saying that 'cause we trialled it!!). But if your baby has really sensitive skin, I'd recommend washing in water alone, or with aqueous cream. I use the bath wash only occasionally.
