“I’ve used this lotion on and off for years. Occasionally I try something new to see if it will work better but nothing really does. Usually the options I decide to try are much more expensive and just not worth it. I looked closely at my arms the other day and realized how good they are looking. I’m in my 70’s and just purchased my first sleeveless top in years. My arms aren’t perfect but they are much better than they used to be. Very effective product and definitely recommend.” — Carol L.
“I really like the big bottle. I could take a bath in this stuff. You have to apply it couple times a day to make crape skin look better. I’ll buy again.” — Cheryl R
