Nivea Shea Nourish Body Lotion has been named the best overall body lotion in a recent review involving five testers who evaluated 15 different products over three weeks. Testers highlighted its value and hydrating qualities, with many intending to purchase it after the trial.
The Nivea lotion, which includes shea butter and hyaluronic acid, reportedly kept testers feeling moisturised for up to and over 12 hours. However, one tester found its floral fragrance too strong for daily use and noted issues with the bottle's construction.
For those prioritising fragrance, EOS Shea Better 24H Moisture Body Lotion was a favourite, with testers giving it near-perfect scent ratings across its various options. Reviewers described it as light, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing.
Eucerin Advanced Repair Body Lotion was highly rated for its moisturising capabilities, especially for very dry skin. Several dermatologists consulted for the review recommended Eucerin, which contains ceramide 3, alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), and urea. Despite being advertised as fragrance-free, testers noted a medicinal smell.
