What they liked

  • Fragrance-free
  • Absorbs without stickiness
  • Hydrating and nourishing feel

What they flagged

  • Slow to absorb, requires rubbing in
  • Leaves streaks on skin
  • Pricey compared to CeraVe or Cetaphil

What the gurus are saying

Absorption speed divides reviewers: some find it sinks in smoothly without stickiness, while others report it leaves streaks and needs significant rubbing to absorb fully, even on towel-dried skin. Those who got on with it praise the creamy, mid-weight texture and fragrance-free formula, which works across different skin types and can even spot-treat dry patches on the face. Best applied right after showering when skin is still damp. The price point gives some pause compared to budget alternatives that perform similarly.

"I really love this one by Necessaire, it's fragrance free, so if you have sensitive skin, especially when I shave, I like to use a lotion that's fragrance free. You really can't go wrong with either of these products."

"I really enjoyed this stuff it was really nice. I don't know if I'd pay full price I think I got this in a beauty box or something like that. This stuff was very nice I like the fact that they have unscented options which made it really nice very thick and creamy."

"The Necessaire Multivitamin Body Lotion is fragrance-free, just a really good classic body lotion that sinks into the skin, doesn't feel sticky, and just does the job. It's really nice."

"This looks really good and as long as you're not sensitive to some of those fragrances this works really well. I love necessary as a brand; they care about the environment and the people who use their products."

"I liked this, I didn't love this, and I didn't love this because it's not as thick as I like a body product to be. I do know they have the body cream, they did not send that to me, and I may pick that up and try it. I do think these together were absolutely gorgeous, but I suspect this in the body cream I would like even more."

"If you want more of a straight up body moisturizer with no active ingredients I also really like the Necessaire body lotion. This is a really mid-weight easy to apply body lotion that I think works great in a lot of different routines and with a lot of different skin types."

"This body lotion is famous for a reason, I mean it is so nourishing, so luxe feeling, but still doesn't weigh your skin down like you don't feel sticky afterward, it just absorbs so well into your skin. I do like an upper body lower body situation and then I feel like my skin is hydrated, nourished, and ready to go for the day."

"I am not a moisturizer gal. I don't know what it is about putting on body moisturizer, but it's just a habit that I've always struggled to get into. But since having the necessary body lotion in my routine, I've been so much better about it."
~Nay
"This is a nice silky lotion, it's got a really pleasing feel between your fingers, but it actually doesn't absorb very quickly into the body. It does leave quite a bit of streaks, you really have to work it in to get it to absorb. Even when you towel dry your skin it's not soaking wet, it's still not soaking in without really rubbing, rubbing, rubbing it in. I just don't have to do that with like CeraVe and Cetaphil, you know what I'm saying, which I get a lot more product for a lot less money. This is not cheap, and it's fussy. Skin care and body care and all these types of products, you have to want to use them, right? And I just don't feel like I want to use this."

"I like with Nécessaire, they do have their body lotion, which is a super nice moisturizer. I would use this on my face with no questions at all, except this does come in a 6.8 oz bottle, so it's much more realistic to use this on the body in addition to using this on the face. In the lotion vehicle that you have, you have some really nice moisturizing ingredients. You have hobo oils, which are like just full of wax esters, just a great emollient, just protector of the skin. And then you also have linoleic acid, which is just so good at protecting the skin barrier. It's excellent. So linoleic acid, niacinamide, glycerin, so just overall a good body moisturizer that's going to go a long way, and just hydrating, finding a good moisturizer is going to make a big difference to making your skin look less crepey."
