As a woman in the construction industry in Northern Maine, finding a reliably hand and body lotion can be a difficult task not to mention an expensive one. So when I found my self once again wondering up and down the aisles of my local discount department store reading labels and calculating the costs in search of the ultimate in skin protection it was with little hope of ever actually finding it, and then a miracle happened I picked up a understated bottle of lotion that at first didn't look like much and started to read, but still I was not convened, but as nothing else looked any better I decided to give it the sniff test and fell in love with the delicious aroma so I bought it even thought I didn't think it was of the quality that I needed, and thought I'll give it a week and see how well it does in a Maine Winter and to my amazement three years later it's still the best lotion I have ever used in my life and the only one that I now use. The only downside if you can call it that is the it smells so much like lemon cookies that you may put on weight from your new lemon cookie addiction.

I love love love the scent of J.R. Watkins Lemon Cream Body Cream.  It smells amazing, the best way I can describe it is close to lemon meringue pie. It is a very creamy lotion/body cream that makes your skin feel incredible. I try to stay away from parabens as much as I can and this lotion/body cream is paraben free. It is also part of the J.R. Watkins natural line of products. It is becoming more and more important for me to use natural products to protect my families health. The first time I tried this product I was at a Watkins party at my mother-in-laws house. I got a sample of this lotion as a prize and could not stop applying it. The scent lasts for a while as well as the moisturizing affects of the lotion. I think this is a great product for anyone to try that loves creamy lotion. The bottle lasts a while because you don't need to apply a lot but you will always want to apply more because of the wonderful smell.

Ever since switching to natural products - whether they be shampoo & conditioner combos, lotions, oral care, etc. - I have noticed a drastic change in my sense of well-being and a new sense of "comfort" in my own skin.  Focusing more on the skin, mine was suffering.  At times I would scratch my legs non-stop and before I knew it, I had bruises.  Such an awful experience!  It was something I thought would pass on its own, but to much avail, it only worsened. As sensitive as I am to fragrances - primarily synthetic - this lotion/body cream is delightful and causes no discomfort! No irritations, no dry patches, no scales - and the best part: the mouth-watering aroma that fills the nose before application!  It makes me crave lemon bars.  It also absorbs quickly and leaves behind NO greasy residue - hydration without 'suffocation'.  Some products just try to 'hold' in moisture by using harmful petroleum-based ingredients.  Which ultimately makes you need more and makes skin prone to greater DE-hydration.  This lotion/cream is soothing and it goes on smoothly - easily another plus! I can't get enough of it!  What better way to indulge yourself? Give yourself a sweet treat and buy yourself some of this lotion!

My brother-in-law and his wife sent me the J.R. Watkins Body Care Gift Pack- Lemon Cream last year for the holidays. The** J.R. Watkins Lemon Cream Body Cream **was one of the items in the gift pack. In short, I absolutely love this body cream. I love the whole set, but it is the body cream I use on my super dry hands. Each time I do my hands thank me for doing so. This body cream helps my hands stay moisturized and soft, very soft and I smell great afterwards. In addition to working great and smelling great the cream is made more eco-friendly than many creams on the market today. The cream is also paraben-free, petroluem free and not tested on animals.  It is by far one of my favorite creams of all times. I do wish the fragrance was not as strong as it is when first applied, but once it begins to wear off it smells so delicious. I recieve so many compliments every time I wear it.

I bought a kit of J.R. Watkins products a little while back, and until I tried the **Lemon Cream Body Cream**, I was starting to think I wasted my money.  The [Mango Body Lotion][1] wasn't nearly as good as I expected, and the [Aloe & Green Tea Body Lotion][2] was a total disaster.  Thankfully, the Lemon Cream Body Cream is wonderful - but not perfect. **J.R. Watkins Lemon Cream Body Cream **is a thick body cream that has the most delicious smelling scent.  It smells like a piece of lemon meringue pie - complete with the buttery crust, lemon center and frothy meringue on top.  It smells soooo good! I like that this product is made with 99% natural ingredients and is free of petroleum and parabens.  I absolutely love the scent; it is definitely one of the best smelling products I have ever used.  What I'm not crazy about is the texture of the cream when you rub it in.  It's actually not greasy or oily at all.  Usually creams are heavier than lotions, but **J.R. Watkins Lemon Cream Body Cream **is pretty light.  However, once you rub it in, it starts to feel a little waxy.  It does rub in completely and leave me feeling moisturized without being oily, but the texture is a little too waxy for me.  That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.  Had the texture been creamier, I would have given this product 5 stars.    [1]: http://www.viewpoints.com/J-R-Watkins-Apothecary-Mango-Hand-and-Body-Lotion-review-6d643 [2]: http://www.viewpoints.com/J-R-Watkins-Aloe-amp-Green-Tea-Hand-amp-Body-Lotion-review-caf3
