I have been using the bedtime lotion for a few years now, both on myself and my babies. I LOVED the soft lavender/chamomile scent and the moisturizing properties were wonderful!

Unfortunately, J&J has gone and fixed what wasn't broken.... they've replaced the wonderful scent of the original lotion with a "new & improved" version which is just horrible. It's now perfumey and literally stings my nose when I smell it. I hate it on myself, my husband hates it on me, and I can't stand it on my babies.

This is a huge disappointment, and I am frantically searching stores for old stock of the original lotion.

So beware when you go to purchase the new & improved!

I always used Johnson's Baby Lotion but was never a big fan of the strong scent. I was recommended the Bedtime Lotion by a friend who is a beauty consultant at a local department store and I don't know how I got along without it! I can use it at night before bed and when I wake up my skin is baby soft without a strong smell. I can use my regular lotions, body sprays, or perfumes the next day for work without having a lasting scent from using the lotion the night before! I highly recommend this lotion along with the 24 Hour Moisturizing Johnson's Lotion!

I live in the desert where the temperatures are extreme, which is drying to the skin. My son has dry patches on his arms, and legs, which is easily treated with baby lotion. I noticed his dry patches fad quicker with this formula than with Johnson's Original Baby Lotion. I'm not sure why that is, but maybe it's because I like the fragrance, so I'm more inclined to use it. In the morning, I can detect the smell, but only slightly. That said, the fragrance of the Bedtime Lotion is strong. It's so strong in fact that I'm not sure I would use it on a newborn. That may sound weird... but when my son was an infant, I bathed him in the morning. The Bedtime Lotion might be a bit overwhelming as an all day scent.

When shopping, I was a bit disappointed when first cracking the lid of Bedtime Lotion. I couldn't whiff the calming fragrance, because Johnson's now seals their lotions. Actually, they warn buyers not to use if the seal is broken. Obviously, this precaution is good for buyers, but I see a downside to this as well. Shoppers already familiar with Johnson's Bedtime products know that they contain lavender, and chamomile, so the seal is a safeguard. The remaining sector must read the description to discover this important fact because they can't smell the product before purchasing. Many might put the lotion back on the shelf if they were able to smell it first. Johnson's doesn't specify the lavender, and chamomile in the ingredients, only in the blurb. Why is this important? Well, the ingredients have been known to cause problems in people with asthma, and allergies.

In addition, I wish Johnson's would re-design their lotion bottles to duplicate their Softwash product where the lid is placed on the bottom. The lid on the Bedtime Lotion is placed at the top making it difficult to get out the remaining squeezes. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product as an evening lotion, because the fragrance fades overnight; however, I probably wouldn't use this lotion in the morning, as the scent is a bit strong.

This is the best it really smells nice and nourishes my baby. Pros.

1.Comes out easily

2.Leaves my baby with a fresh scent

3.Softens baby skin in about 1 week

4.Not too perfumy

5.Does not irritate babies skin

I LOVE JOHNSON AND JOHNSON FIRST OF ALL. I am a huge fan of the lavender and chamomile collection, but the new and improved doesn't smell better. It feels a lot better on my skin compared to the original. The new & improved has a thicker texture which is longer lasting compared to the original watery product. But the original smelled WAY BETTER, and I'm a smell good girl more than a anti-dry skin freak. I hope they bring back the original smell. Keep the moisturizing effect of the new and improved but bring back the original product smell, and you have a HIT SUCCESS.
