Therapeutic Repair Lotion, 1 fl oz.- Value $1.12
This lightweight creamy formula left my dry hands hydrated. I’m always on the look out for a good lotion for my hands and body and this delivers. This repair lotion is intended for total body use. I’m going to keep this in my purse for when I’m on the go. From Adamia Skin:
The pain stops here. As does the search for a solution. Red, cracked, burning, broken, insanely dry skin finds its relief in this lotion. The life-changing ingredient? Macadamia oil. It naturally mimics skin’s own oils allowing it to be absorbed faster and without that undesirable greasy residue. Then, we blend this natural remedy with clinically-proven moisturizers to create the exclusive Promega-7. The results? Hurting skin is quieted and life is restored.
