"Still itchy after trying it..."
I really wanted this to help, but I’m still dealing with the itching after using it. Kind of a letdown, honestly... I was hoping for better results

"Not really worth it for full body use"
I bought this thinking it would be easy to use all over my body, but it didn’t work out that way for me.

The texture felt a little sticky and it didn’t spread smoothly, so putting it on my arms and legs just felt like an unnecessary hassle. Even after using it, my skin still felt dry later on.

It might be fine if you’re only using it on a small spot here and there, but for full body use, I wouldn’t buy it again.

"Didn’t really soften my skin"
I bought this from Curel because my skin gets dry, and I was really hoping it would make a noticeable difference. Maybe it works better for other people, but for me, my skin still felt kind of rough even after using it for a while.
The texture felt fine when I applied it, so I didn’t mind that part, but it just didn’t give me that soft, smooth feeling I was expecting. For the price, I personally thought it would do more, so I’m disappointed and wouldn’t buy it again.

"Pump quit after a week"
The lotion itself is actually nice, but the pump stopped working after about a week. This has happened to me more than once now, so just a heads up if you’re buying it for the convenience of the pump — you might end up frustrated.

"Pump gave out after just a couple uses"
I started noticing a pattern quickly: first use was fine, second use was a little sticky, and then the pump basically jammed completely. Now there’s lotion stuck inside the bottle and I can’t really get it out without making a mess. Super frustrating for something that should’ve been simple to use.

"I ordered this from curel.com sometime in..."
I ordered this from curel.com sometime in early March, I think, or maybe it was late February, and I was hoping it would keep my skin feeling hydrated longer. It felt nice at first, but after about an hour my skin was already dry again. Didn’t really work for me, so I’m a little disappointed.

"Didn’t really help my eczema"
I assumed this would help because products like this usually claim to calm dry, irritated skin, but it kind of did the opposite for me. After using it, my skin felt even drier than before, so I stopped. Maybe it works for some people, but based on my experience, it wasn’t worth it.

"I wasn’t comfortable using this"
I personally didn’t feel good about the ingredient list. Maybe I should’ve checked more carefully before buying, but I also feel like the brand could’ve been clearer about what’s in it. It just didn’t seem like something I wanted to keep using.

"Why does this take so long to absorb?"
I ordered this lotion from curel.com thinking it would be something easy to use every day, but it just takes forever to sink in. I’d put it on and then stand there waiting, and waiting, and it still felt sticky and kind of greasy. Super annoying when you’re trying to get dressed or need to use your hands right after. I don’t have the patience for lotion that lingers like that. Wouldn’t buy it again.

"Just didn’t agree with my face"
I tried Curel on my face because it’s supposed to be gentle, but it just wasn’t for me. My cheeks felt greasy after using it, and by the next day they were red and itchy. I know everyone’s skin is different, so I’m not saying it’s bad for everyone, but it really didn’t work for my face. It might be fine as a body lotion, but for facial use, I wouldn’t buy it again. I think it’s only fair to say that if something is labeled gentle, people with sensitive skin should be able to trust that a bit more

"Felt fine going on. Nice for a bit..."
Felt fine going on. Nice for a bit. But then my dry patches were back within an hour. Kind of disappointing.

"They completely ignored me"
I reached out to customer service and nobody ever bothered to reply. It’s ridiculous—if they can’t even get back to a paying customer, that’s on them

"Kind of hard to get on even"
Putting this on was a little annoying for me. It got messy fast and it didn’t really spread around good, so I felt like I had to use a lot more than I should just to cover my skin.

"Texture was a bit strange for me"
I really wanted to like this, but the texture felt thick and sticky on my skin. It didn’t spread as smoothly as I hoped and left this odd greasy layer behind. Maybe it works better for other skin types, but it just wasn’t my favorite.

"Felt rushed into buying it, but it left me greasy"
I picked up this Curel lotion because my skin was really dry and I felt a bit pressured to choose something quickly. i wish I hadn’t. It doesn’t really sink in for me and just leaves this greasy layer on my skin. My hands stay slippery for ages after using it, which is annoying. Not something I enjoyed using, and I wouldn’t buy it again.

"Broke me out bad"
I really thought this was going to be gentle on my skin, but it clogged the pores so fast. After just a few days I had small bumps and acne showing up on the cheeks. Definitely not using it again

"I’ve liked a few Curel products, but..."
I’ve liked a few Curel products, but shopping on curel.com was annoying because of the size options. I was specifically looking for a larger bottle since I already knew I’d use it, but most of what I found was either tiny sizes or random limited options that didn’t really make sense for me. If I can’t get the size I actually want, it just doesn’t feel worth ordering directly from the site.

"Never seems to be available"
I use the Curel lotion regularly, but every time I try to order it, it’s either out of stock or marked unavailable. It’s frustrating having to keep checking the site over and over like it’s some kind of chore. I don’t want to spend weeks refreshing a page just to buy lotion. If it’s always unavailable, what’s the point of even listing it?

"The scent was way too much"
I really wanted to give this lotion a fair shot, but the smell was overwhelming. It has this strong powdery, almost chemical fragrance that just clings to your skin and hangs around way longer than I expected.

I used it once on my arms and ended up washing it off because I couldn’t take it. What’s frustrating is products can technically be labeled like they’re gentle or everyday-friendly, but there always seems to be some loophole where a super strong fragrance still gets packed in. Maybe the lotion works fine, but the scent makes it a no for me.

"I ordered from Curel thinking it would be..."
I ordered from Curel thinking it would be simple, but the whole shipping experience was exhausting. It took way longer than the estimate, and the tracking barely updated, so I kept having to check back like maybe something had changed. I’m just tired of having to chase basic delivery info at this point.

When the package finally arrived, the box was banged up and one of the items looked like it had been thrown around in transit. Nothing about it felt smooth or handled with much care. I like the products, but after this, I probably won’t order directly from them again.
