APOTHEKE Scented Hand & Body Lotion for Women & Men, White Vetiver (10 fl oz)

I've never gotten excited about hand lotion before, yet here I am, writing a review. This stuff is amazing! Unlike every common brand of lotion I've tried (Curel, Lubriderm, Nivea, Aveeno, Bath & Body Works, etc), this Apotheke lotion really, truly, absorbs into the skin for a non-greasy feel. I can't believe it. I can apply this product and turn a doorknob five minutes later without leaving smudges and fingerprints on the surface. Unreal. The other thing I love about this product is the fragrance, both the notes themselves and the subtlety of the smell. The white vetiver has this light, clean smell that reminds me of Bumble & Bumble Gentle shampoo. There's a gentle sweetness (not at all floral or overpowering) with a cool, clean, slightly earthy/vegetal note underneath, almost like a sweet grass. (Maybe that's the eucalyptus?) In addition, the fragrance is subtle enough that I can apply liberally without fear of stinking up my office neighbor's cubicle. I understand that someone might scoff at the idea of a $22 bottle of lotion, but sometimes you get what you pay for, and this is one of those times. Shout out to Esquire for the recommendation.

I originally tried this brand at a boutique hotel in Times Square and I was surprised at the quality and scent! Usually lotions leaves my skin sticky and typically I use body oil for that reason but this lightweight formula is great for covering your body without concern for the thickness or a pungent scent. The scent is very lightweight and complimented my skin and allowed my perfume to standout instead of a combination of lotion and perfume. Also no sticky feeling! Great on dry skin, extra dry skin areas like elbows and hands. Glad I stumbled onto this brand.

Moisturizing!

AMAZON SENDING WRONG PRODUCT. I ordered the Apotheke lotion, but twice in a row Amazon incorrectly sent the bodywash. The problem is that the sticky label says lotion, even though the bottle itself is actually the bodywash. I returned the first one in the hope someone would notice but that did not happen. I went to another website so that I could get the lotion sent to me as ordered. The bodywash and the lotion both have a great scent, the white vetiver-soft, clean, fresh, and not overbearing. Other than spending time on the phone trying to communicate this to customer service, I am entering this info in the review.

Finally! A body lotion that makes my skin feel soft without being sticky or greasy. It also has a nice soft scent. Not overpowering & it fades through the day so the scent doesn’t change to something less pleasant. I’ve tried everything and finally found what I’d been looking for.
