    I stumbled upon "Glove In A Bottle" when picking up my prescriptions at the local pharmacy. In fact, I had seen it in many pharmacies for years previously but only this time did it spark my interest. The words, "Like an invisible pair of gloves, skin care that works" really spoke to me. I am a frequent hand washer and my hands are ALWAYS dry. Putting lotion on only seems like a losing battle because it is only going to get washed off minutes later. I looked up reviews and found only one from an elderly woman claiming that it was the best investment she had ever made (when it came to lotions).
   
    So, I did it. I grabbed an 8oz. bottle for $12.99 +tax and headed home for a trial run. I was so excited while reading more of the bottle, "Comes off naturally with exfoliated skin cells"! To me that meant it was water AND soap resistant. Just what I needed!

    After my bath that night, I used it on my hands because they always feel the driest after soaking in a warm bath. I was very disappointed to find after the lotion felt dry, so did my hands. My hands still yearned for moisture. I felt somewhat of a coating on my skin but no moisture. Seeing that the bottle also went into details saying it's purpose isn't to provide the skin with "artificial moisture" but to keep the skin's own natural moisture from leaving or escaping, I didn't give up hope.

    When I woke up and washed my hands, sadly I felt the lotion wash off with the soap and water and once again my hand were dry as a desert. Only, now, without the coating of lotion I had felt previously the night before.

    To sum it up. "Gloves In a Bottle" is a waste of money and a source of false hope. It is not water resistant, nor does it appear to protect the skin. It is a wonderful idea and I do hope someone does create such a product. Until then, I am going to put these "gloves" down and head back to the store for some regular old Vaseline.
