Vaseline Aloe Fresh Lotion Review

While I was at BlogHer, I had the privilege of attending an event hosted by Unilever, whose brands include Vaseline.  I was introduced to new Vaseline Aloe Fresh, a line of light, fresh lotions that leave skin feeling hydrated and refreshed all year long. If you find heavy lotions unpleasant because they leave your skin feeling heavy or sticky, Vaseline Aloe Fresh is perfect for warm weather or any time you want a lotion that feels light!

During the event, I sampled the Vaseline Aloe Fresh Moisturizing Gel, which glides on and pretty much instantly cools and hydrates your skin. It’s got a lightweight moisturizer that replenishes your skin’s natural moisture balance without feeling at all heavy or sticky. A 6.8 ounce bottle has a suggested retail price of $5.99.

Vaseline Aloe Fresh Protecting Lotion SPFI asked if I could get samples of the other two lotions in the Aloe Fresh line sent to me at home, they are Aloe Fresh Hydrating Lotion, and Aloe Fresh Protecting Lotion with SPF 15.  The Fresh Hydrating Lotion is fast-absorbing and non-sticky, with aloe and cucumber extracts. It smells fantastic but it nice and light, too.  It’s available in a 10 ounce bottle with a SRP of $2.99, and in a 24.5 ounce bottle with a SRP of $5.09.

Vaseline Aloe Fresh Hydrating LotionThe Fresh Protecting Lotion has SPF 15 to protect skin from the sun, leaves your skin feeling hydrated, and absorbs quickly. A 20.3 ounce bottle has a SRP of $5.99.   Having used both of them on my hands, arms, and legs, I can report that both lotions do absorb quickly and leave a light, fresh scent behind.  Until the air gets really dry and I need a heavier lotion, I’ll be using both of these daily.

Look for Vaseline Aloe Fresh Lotions at drug and discount stores, and online.  Thank you to Vaseline and Unilever for sending me the lotions to review!

My Husband’s Review of Vaseline Clinical Therapy

You may have already seen the TV commercials or the print ads-to spread the word about it’s new Clinical Therapy Lotion, Vaseline created a truly unique word-of-mouth marketing campaign called Prescribe the Nation. From the State of Alaska, known for it’s blistering cold weather and high wind chills, causing skin to become bone dry, they narrowed down their search to the city of Kodiak, and finally to Petal Ruch, a nine-year resident. Petal was selected because she has extremely dry skin, is very active in the community and exemplifies the values of living in a small community.

Petal Ruch was given Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion to try, and was told to “prescribe” it to anyone she knew who could benefit from it. She eventually gave out “prescriptions” to nearly 1,000 people. She’s featured in two video campaigns as well, here’s one of them:

Nicole from M80 emailed me and asked me if I wanted to try Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion and “prescribe” it. She sent me both the Unscented and the Lightly Fragranced to try. The driest skin I have is my hands, I wash them at least six times a day plus we don’t have a dishwasher so I do dishes by hand. I prefer the Lightly Fragranced just because I like to smell pretty, and I found that I only need a very small dab to cover both my hands and make them feel moist and soft.

I “prescribed” the Unscented Lotion to my husband. He has eczema, and the skin on his back is extremely dry. The very first time I rubbed the lotion on his back, after about three hours, he said his shirt felt damp. I felt his shirt, it was dry. It was his SKIN. It had been so long since the skin on his back had stayed moisturized for that long that he wasn’t familiar with the feeling! This is a direct quote from him:

“FOR MY ECZEMA, IT’S THE BEST LOTION I HAVE EVER USED”.

He also uses it on his legs where he often has eczema breakouts. The Unilever company deserves some kind of award for creating this lotion! Anything that can keep the skin of people in Alaska moisturized and make my husband’s extremely dry back feel moist for the first time in a long time, that’s a winning product. I’m officially prescribing Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion to EVERYBODY ON TEH INTERWEBS, effectively immediately! Get more information at www.prescribethenation.com/.
