Drugstore Lotion - Works Better Than Expensive Brands!

Monday January 5, 2009

Have you seen the commercials for Vaseline Clinical Therapy yet? They went to a small town in Alaska and used a word-of-mouth marketing campaign. They took real people with real dry skin and gave them the chance to try Vaseline Clinical Therapy. They were then able to "prescribe" it to their friends and family. It apparently took off, and you can see for yourself on their website.

They claim that this prescription strength lotion will calm itchy skin in 3 days and heal dry skin in 5. I'll be honest, many of the drugstore brands haven't really knocked my socks off, but Vaseline Clinical Therapy did! It works better than so many of the expensive body butters that I've purchased in the past, and it costs a third of the price.

Read my review of Vaseline Clinical Therapy to learn more about this great drugstore brand. And if you've used it yourself, go ahead and add your own review!

I tried this lotion and I couldn’t agree more! I couldn’t believe how quickly it took away the dry and itchy winter skin. I also started putting it on the dry soles of my feet and couldn’t believe how well it worked…especially for such a little price.

I haven’t tried it, however even though it may be cheaper, it is filled with ingredients that an educated comsumer would know to avoid.
