    I really don't look for any of the items listed. I just usually pick up lotion that says on the bottle for extra dry skin but after reading a post indicating that alpha hydroxy make your skin look younger, I will start looking for alpha hydroxy from now on.

    I used to look for cocoa butter but I didn't like how it made my skin feel like I had oil on it. So now I look for something with aloe and something that drys quick. It leaves my skin moisturized and it doesn't feel like I even put lotion on.

    I have had very sensative skin since I was a toddler. I have tried several things in lotions. I like using lotions that have aloe in it. Recently I have found this lotion that has aloe and oatmeal in it and it makes my skin soft and it makes my skin not so itchy.
