• "Unfortunately this made me really itchy, something’s in this that’s very irritating and there’s also a strange smell."
• "This one has a rather sickening scent if you spend too much time smelling it."
• "Seriously disappointing! To start it smells like a combination of “old lady” perfume and my dog’s shampoo which was enough to turn me off to the product the second I opened the bottles plastic seal."
• "The only negative I have is the scent. It's too strong and smells like old lady perfume."

Moisturizing Effect

Pros:

• "Keeps my skin from being dry all day! No lotion needed."

• "It's very moisturizing and it also absorbs into skin very well."
• "This Palmers oil is great. It’s extremely moisturizing and soaks in very quickly leaving behind a soft sheen."
• "The oil gets absorbed into your skin pretty quickly, leaving well nourished and moisturized skin."

Cons:

• "Can’t use this product by itself because my skin will still be ashy after applying this product."
• "This stuff dried me out like crazy."
• "I tried it on dry skin and I tried it on my skin right after I got out of the shower - same dried out results."
• "Overall the product is just ok for my skin, it definitely doesn't provide 24 hour moisture."
• "It’s not a good product to use by itself or with other lotions because it doesn’t moisture at all."
• "After using for a week, it doesn’t moisturize no matter the number of time applied."
• "First off, this stuff plain stinks... Finally, it doesn't moisturize worth a darn. Overall just junk. Literally throwing it out."

• "Does not sit on top of your skin, it is absorbed."
• "So smooth and easily absorbed by the skin."
• "Not too greasy and leaves your skin soft and smooth."
• "The oil isn’t sticky at all and it’s very moisturizing."
• "This is a very silky and pampering body oil, with an indescribably great smell."

Cons:

• "I wish it was a little better to apply but it still good either way."
• "I would give a 5 star if it wasn’t so thin that I need to use it with something else."
• "The first time when I opened the top and tilted the bottle quickly to pour it into my hand and the oil gushed out so fast I was caught off guard because I didn't expect the cap hole to be that large."
• "I applied it after taking a shower then patted it dry and I was SO greasy and shiny that I had to wipe it off again."
• "However as the oil was not lightweight and thick, it made my hair look and feel real greasy/oily."
• "Oil is too heavy!"
• "Not super greasy but isn’t lightweight or fast absorbing either."

Packaging

Pros:

• "I love the easy to open bottle but yet no spillage."
• "The convenient pump packaging makes it easy to dispense just the right amount of product without any mess."
• "I love this product! I only bought it because I was looking for a good sized flip cap bottle to put baby oil into after I used it which is what I normally put on my skin after a shower. I had no idea this body oil would have such a lovely chocolate fragrance!"

Cons:

• "Love the scent! Seller needs to package better. Leaked all over other items in my Amazon box because it was free floating unwrapped."
• "Should have sent it back! It arrived with no cap."
• "The cape does not close correctly, it makes the oil leak if you have it laying around."
• "One negative on this type of lid is some oil ALWAYS dribbles down and gets down the bottle."
• "The cap of one of the bottles was almost opened therefore causing a lot of the oil to drip out of the bottle and leaking in the package."
• "Unfortunately I spilt almost an my bottle out on the rug(wish me luck with that one) but I like product."
• "I wish the lid was a pump so it didnt dispense so much oil at one time."
