Hempz Original Herbal Body Moisturizer Reviews Summary

Authenticity

Pros:

• "This is the exact same lotion that is sold in salons and beauty stores for twice the price!"
• "I compared the new lotion with some that I had left over from my last bottle, and it is the exact same."
• "As far as I can tell it is the real deal."
• "There seems to be some confusion whether this is the real original Hempz or not and I can tell you that yes, this one's the real deal!"
• "It is just like the bottle I got from the salon so it appears to be the real deal."
• "I compared the lotion I received with the full price lotion I purchased at a salon. In my opinion, the two are identical."

Cons:

• "What alarms me about this product is... I have never broken out like that before with hempz."
• "This one I purchased on Amazon from a Hempz distributor has a horrible chemical smell and does not smell like the original scent."
• "I don’t believe what I received was the real Hempz lotion. It has a funky smell to it. Very oily and causes my skin to break out."
• "This is a CLEAR fake, no wonder it is so cheap!"
• "Cheap FAKE lotion and I will never order from this company again!!!"
• "This is fake."
• "Whatever was in the bottle is not what my mother used to get for after tanning from the tanning salon."

Scent

Pros:

• "The original scent fades pretty quickly, which is nice if I want to wear perfume."
• "The smell is AMAZING. The first day I put it on after a shower and then got into bed, my boyfriend said to me 'you smell like candy', and I said 'what do you mean?' And he replied 'I mean you smell sweet and I like it'."
• "The smell is amazing. I don't need to wear perfume when I have this stuff on."
• "It has a subtle, nice fragrance and absorbs well while moisturizing skin beautifully without residue."
• "This lotion has a fresh, pleasant scent that's not too overpowering."
• "The Hempz lotion scent is also amazing, it's described as 'floral and banana' and I would say its creamy and lightly floral with only a hint of banana."
• "The fragrance is wonderful - reminds me of a tropical paradise."

Cons:

• "The real problem is the sickening scent of the lotion."
• "It's moisturizing but it has a horribly strong scent to it."
• "Contains FRAGRANCE. Smell is very fruity and lingers - Big Time."
• "The fragrance is definitely stronger than most perfume."
• "But ordered this one and man, it's HEAVILY scented. Like, I put a little on my hands and I am getting a headache and feel like I got doused in strawberry perfume."
• "Warning it is very strong smell, so if your allergic to scents do not buy."
• "The 'Floral & Banana' scent of the 'original' is too strong for me."

Moisturizing Effect

Pros:

• "It absorbs instantly into the skin! I put it on after taking a shower and as soon as it touches my skin and I rub it in, it instantly disappears."
• "It's moisturizing all day long."
• "I apply Hempz at night before going to bed and then very lightly in the morning and my skin stays moist all day."
• "It's so hydrating and even takes makeup off."
• "The hemp does a great job of moisturizing my families skin without feeling greasy or covered in chemicals."
• "Hempz moisturizer absorbs quickly and lasts for hours. I am no longer reaching for lotion every 3 hours and so grateful!"
• "This lotion is fantastic! I have psoriasis and have been searching for a good moisturizing lotion for years."

Cons:

• "Also it is not moisturizing at all. Just go back to Cetaphil or Aveeno."
• "Not 5 minutes later my arms were literally burning. I washed it off but my arms are still red and tingling."
• "However, it does not do the best job moisturizing."
• "My only complaint is that it's not great for super-dry skin."
• "But to be honest, the original doesn't really have long lasting moisture. I have to reapply pretty often."
• "I'm dry and itchy within an hour of applying."
• "This Hempz lotion DID NOT WORK FOR ME:( Was looking for a good moisturizer, but it instantly flared up my eczema!!!"
