I too was pleasantly surprised by this product. My first impression was, "whoa, this cream is thick!" But, it does spread rather well and once it's absorbed, which took about 5 minutes for me, the skin feels smoother and softer. I really liked how versatile it is. I can put this Lubriderm cream on different parts of my body - from normal arms to really dry hands and legs, and even that troublesome rough patch of skin on my heels - and they would all benefit from the moisturizing effect of the cream without feeling greasy. I especially liked using it on my hands and feet. I can wash my hands a couple of times before needing to reapply. As for those dry heels of mine, they did get a bit softer after a couple of nights of application. So, for the lazy ones out there like myself, it's definitely worth getting since you won't need to buy a different cream for the hands and feet! The only drawback would be the cost and the scent. At $8.99 for 140g, it does cost about double the typical drugstore body lotion. Scent wise, though it's supposed to be unscented, there is this slight rubber/plastic smell, which dissipates after the cream has been absorbed. It could be annoying for some, but, it's not a big deal, and I can definitely overlook this slight blunder for the effectiveness of the cream.

I got this from ChickAdvisor to rate as well, so here goes:


My legs are REALLY dry, especially in the winter. When I scratch them, I make long white marks that don't disappear until quite a while afterwards. When I look along my legs, they remind me of the cracked earth of a desert. Prior to Lubriderm Intense Dry Skin Repair, I was using Olay Classic Moisturizing Lotion.

When I squeezed out some of the Lubriderm cream onto my leg, I was surprised at how thick it was. I'm used to using lotions with more of a liquid consistancy. I was concerned about how well it would absorb into my skin because it was so thick. Once I started spreading it over my legs though, I could tell I would really like the cream.

The first word that came to mind was, "Emollient." The cream is thick (remember, it's cream, not lotion!) but not greasy. It spreads well, and disappeared into my skin quickly (as opposed to Banana Boat sunscreen which takes FOREVER). The cream is virtually scentless. To smell anything, you literally have to have your nose up against your skin (not the cream) where you just rubbed the cream. It smells faintly of cherry flavoured Starburts. When I flipped the tube around to read the description on the back, I wasn't surprised to see that emollients were mentioned.


The cream does leave behind a characteritic cream/lotion residue on my legs, so I have to carefully roll down my pant leg everytime I put this on. However, when I check to see whether or not my skin looks more moisturized, I am definitely satisfied. The cream doesn't disappear after 10 mintues without results like most other lotions do. My legs look more moisturized!!

What I like most about this product is its consistancy. I'm confident about its ability to moisturize particulary BECAUSE of its conistancy. A week of using it hasn't proven me wrong. When I finish this tube, I'm definitely going to pick some more.

When I first tried Lubriderm Intense Dry Skin Repair lotion I was a little skeptical. I have very dry skin at all times of the year. I am usually constantly applying lotion, especially when the dry weather starts. The first few times I used this product I found it to be slightly greasy. I had to wait a few minutes to get dressed to give the lotion time to absorb. However, once it did absorb I found it did a great job at keeping my skin moisturized! It doesn't make you feel really greasy all day. Right before I started using this product, I had a few dry and rough patches of skin on my face from being in the cold wind. The lotion healed it right away. I find it works really well for a night time lotion. My skin always feels really soft in the morning! It is also unscented, but still has a pleasant smell. (some unscented lotions smell horrible). This is great for sensitive skin. This chick reccomends it!

I received this product to rate and I have to say that this lotion worked a lot better than I expected. When it comes to moisturizing my skin, I tend to be picky because I always fear that something that says it is for intensely dry skin will end up being greasy. This was not the case with Lubriderm Intense Dry Skin Repair Lotion. This product was developed by dermatologists and claims to have time-release technology to relieve dry rough skin throughout the day. Lubriderm Internse Dry Skin Repair Lotion did keep my skin moisturized throughout the day and works well to protect rough patches of very dry skin. I am glad I tried this product as I had recently got into the habit of using more fragranced lotions (such as those from Bath & Body Works south of the border) and this product works well to moisturize all day long and it is a lot easier to go to my local pharmacy and pick up a big bottle of this than travel to the US all the time to get the other stuff I use! Also, the price point of this product is much more affordable for daily use for those cold Canadian winters! If you have not tried this product I suggest you give it a shot!
