What the gurus are saying

This lotion hydrates without the sticky, greasy feel you get from many body lotions, sinking in quickly. It contains urea and lactic acid that help dry skin by boosting your barrier function and gently exfoliating buildup, making it particularly good for elbows, knees, and keratosis pilaris. The fragrance can irritate though, and it may sting a little, so patch-test first if you have sensitive skin.

"In 1968 they finally turned their attention to expanding Vaseline's range of products with a new hand and body lotion, Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion, which was to be used for dry skin as an after sun moisturizer. It was a huge success, particularly in the US due to their Working Hands of America campaign."

"It has urea and lactic acid, which is really good for dry skin. Urea is naturally present in your skin, [...] part of its natural moisturizing factor, and putting it on the skin helps boost that up [...] so your barrier can be more functional, reducing dry skin. It also softens and gently exfoliates built up dry skin, so it's great if you've got [...] discolored, dry elbows and knees, or keratosis pilaris. It can sting a little bit, but otherwise, two thumbs up."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
