This is a great emollient cream that I have found smooths and softens my skin in just one use. I have moderate keratosis pilaris on the back of my arms and a bit on my legs. I use this, after exfoliating and sometimes using an SA cream, generally before bed. While it doesn’t remove much redness, I find my skin is far smoother and soft when I use it regularly, with no bumps to the touch. It is very thick and moisturizing, and similar in texture to many eczema creams I’ve tried, but unlike others, this doesn’t have a strong smell. It’s also a great value for a tub that lasts a long time. I try to be careful about safe skincare ingredients, and while I wouldn’t use this on my child, the ingredients of concern are salicylic acid and propylene glycol, both of which are in a majority of products like this. They can cause a contact allergic reaction, but this is dependent on the consumer. I have sensitive skin and have developed more allergies as I’ve aged, but I have had no personal adverse reactions to this cream. Read more
I've tried many different AHA & BHA lotions and creams for rough skin. I must say, this Gold Bond cream is hands-down THE best in terms of results and value. The closest comparison would be amlactin, which is far more expensive and doesn't smell nearly as nice. CeraVe and Cetaphil's formulas aren't as good as this one, results take far longer to achieve. This lotion makes skin so soft, it absorbs beautifully, and the cost is fantastic. So long as the formula stays the same, I plan on buying this always. The quality and effectiveness of this cream sparked my curiosity with other Gold Bond formulas. Prior, it wasn't a brand I had much interest in as I associated it with medicated powders and stinky lotions. They have actually expanded their product lines, and have some great products for both body and face. Check them out! It can be hard to get quality products at this price point with other brands. 06/22 I've now purchased this lotion three times. I don't use it daily anymore; more like 1-3 times per week. When I first purchased this, I was using it most days. It didn't take long for my skin to be as soft as I can recall in 39 years!! No, I'm not being paid or given free product (I wish!) The results are fantastic, and my skin has stayed this way. It's thick, but it doesn't irritate my skin, have a foul smell (some "fragrance free" products smell like sour vomit), and while it does have a slight smell on application, it fades quickly. I can also use this cream regardless of the weather or temperature. It performs well during all activities, and has never clogged my pores. A tub lasts me about 2 months. Longer now as I don't have to use it as frequently. If you struggle with KP, or dry, textured skin, BUY THIS! I will continue to purchase so long as it's available. And it better be! It works better than the $26 stuff. I've always struggled with KP and texture. Not new to SA or urea products to control it. This GB Rough & Bumpy is magic!! My Read more
This is an exfoliating cream meant to be applied at night and rubbed off in the morning. When first applied, it's incredibly oily. It leaves your skin feeling greasy and thick. It goes on pretty smooth and evenly, and it stays on all night. It has no scent, and it pretty good quality for what it's worth. But this is not a daily moisturizer for everyday use. You wash your skin, preferably in warm water, apply this lotion while it's still slightly damp, and then sleep with it on. The next morning, you take a towel or some sort of abrasive rag and rub the dead skin off. This cream is for exfoliating, it works by loosening the dead skin on top and moisturizing the new skin below. Hence why it's so oily. I like to put it on before a workout so that when I'm done, I can take a shower and scrub all the sweat and dead skin off. Pretty interesting product. Read more
I have not seen any leg improvement over the last months. It doesn't irritate your legs and the quality is very good, i think i would buy it again if I had more leg problems but ive definitely not seen any skincare improvement on my legs at all. I think it's worth its money and moisturizing, but it's worked for other people so i'm definitely not going to give a horrible rating, I would recommend. Read more
I purchased this cream as I had an issue with rough and bumpy skin on my legs, arms and chest. I’ve used it now for several months and I have to say this cream works. My skin is now so smooth that I don’t need to use it anymore. I wish it came in a smaller size but the price was reasonable so if I happen to get bumpy skin again, it will be available for me b Read more
