I've never been a lotion person. For decades I've left my skin go without; only took care of my face and on occasion my hands. I bought Jergen's Daily Moister and this Queen Helene brand (Queen Helene is pronounced as a rhyme Queen Hel-EEn) (not Hel-en). We used this brand in beauty college all of the time for manicures and facials...it's been around for a long time.
The Jergen's brand of lotion soaked in my skin without any noticeable shine or coating. No oiliness or slickness. It soaked in and dried so you can get dressed right away. I didn't have to reapply all day.
The Queen Helene brand of this lotion left my skin with a soft glow/shine...almost like a reflection of light but not in a bad way. It is a bit oilier and 'wetter'...the lotion isn't as thick as Jergen's but that's not a bad thing. Its scent is reminiscent of suntan lotion, the cocoa butter ones...I like it. I think this spreads a little farther than the Jergen's with it being more liquidy, but it doesn't run like water. For the price, I can slather myself with this and let it soak in. One thing about this, after watching Youtube videos: people were rubbing it on fast then complaining it stayed white and they had to rub, rub, rub it in for a while --- Don't rub it in fast...do the opposite and s-l-o-w-l-y spread it on and it will soak in clear...it doesn't need the friction to make it work. This takes a bit longer to dry than the Jergen's but it's not a score breaker...we are talking a minute. I think this looks really good on the legs with the soft glow to it and it seems to make my aging hands look a bit younger. You can't feel any oiliness after it's on, only softness with both brands. I think this one hydrates just a tad bit more. If money is an issue, pick this brand, you will love it.
