Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Extra Rich Cream 6.8 oz — 

I don't like the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Butter.  It was watery and too light for my skin.  It penetrates right through, but because it's so thin, it doesn't last. The vitamin E may be the element that makes this Vaseline product slightly thicker than the others.

I have very dry skin, to include mild eczema and need thick moisturizers to coat my skin as they penetrate my skin.  Vaseline's cocoa butter body lotion may work well for others whose skin isn't as dry, but if you have dry skin, you should try something different.

The Vaseline lotion has an overpowering cocoa scent for me. I'd just rather not walk around smelling like chocolate.  However, if you like chocolate, that might not be so bad.  My family--particularly my son and I--have a hard time finding lotions and moisturizers that fully sooth and condition our skin.  We've found that the Vaseline brand in general doesn't work.  It's too thin and watery.

Too bad. You'd think a product with cocoa butter would be extra moisturizing. I think I'll skip it also.

Yes it's too strong for me. I've used it in dryness emergencies, but generally try not too.

I would get this for my husband but he would not like the smell.
