I live in the mountains where dry winter skin can be a real health issue, not just an inconvenience. Cracked skin provides an entry for bacteria which can turn to infection very quickly. So, keeping my skin moisturized is important. I go through a LOT of lotion in the winter months. This is not as emollient as some other lotions I have tried, but it is advertised as being for "normal" skin which, in my particular case, may be a bit too light to fully provide the moisture my skin needs. That said, it is a good lotion, in that it absorbs nicely and leaves skin feeling soft but not greasy. It has no detectable fragrance and dispenses easily from the pump. For my purposes, I feel that this is probably a better daily summer lotion than winter lotion.
