Jergens Ultra Hydrating: An Excellent Daily Moisturizer
I go through a lot of different lotions, balms and creams. I have only found a couple that work for my specific needs. I need something that absorbs quickly, doesn't have a fragrance or scent added to it and won't give me problems with my silicone sleeve. I'm a below the knee amputee and wear my prosthetic for ten to twelve hours a day. The skin above the sleeve tends to dry out more than the rest of my leg so I need something that's fast acting but won't make it impossible to get my sleeve off and on. Someone recommended Jergens Naturals Ultra Hydrating Daily Moisturizer to me because it was "scent free"; that's not completely true because the ingredients list "fragrance" without being specific as to what exactly is added. I am scent-sensitive so anything with an additive tends to make me sneeze, cough or gag. I used this on my hands, legs and residual limb and it worked but I couldn't handle the scent of it after a couple hours. It was even worse when I put it on at night and every time I turned or moved under the covers I smelled it. In defense of the product I have to say that others have used this and said that they smelled almost nothing on their hands; as mentioned I am scent-sensitive so that could be part of the problem. I still have the bottle in the bathroom that others use when they wash their hands and want to use a lotion afterwards. If Jergens made this in a completely unscented formulation I would buy it and try it but the current formulation is too much for me to handle in regards to the scent and smell of it. I didn't have any redness or irritation from it when I used it so that's a plus. It has a pump top instead of a flip cap so it isn't something that's going to be easy to take with you but they do have small travel / trial size bottles that you can use for that. Scent I was told this was scent-free, it isn't.
