The reason I bought this product the first time is because it had a small tag line under the brand name of being a sensual moisturizer that intrigued me. After trying it one time, I have been a complete fan of this moisturizer. It soaks right in and never leaves my legs feeling greasy or dry. Use it after bathing and you will see a total difference in the way your skin feels. The scent is light (I really don't notice it at all)but if you prefer unscented-Neutrogena does sell an unscented version. And it's also great to use on your partner because the scent that is there is neither feminine or masculine and it helps your hands glide...I have had no complaints. ;-)

I loooooove this stuff! I have used it for more than 15 years now and can't see using any other body lotions/moisturizers. My skin never gets dry or flaky, even in the coldest winter. Instead, it leaves a nice healthy glow without leaving oil stains on your clothing. It also does not have a strong scent which is good for me because I'm not a big fan of perfume.

I've been using a 50:50 mix of Neutrogena sesame oil and baby oil for more than 25 years to remoisturize my otherwise chronically dry skin after showering, swimming, etc. The sesame oil is hydrophilic and therefore absorbed well by wet skin. The baby oil (light mineral oil)is hydrophobic so it stays on the skin surface as a light protective coating and lubricant. An inexpensive year-round basic skin care formula for body, hands, feet, and face. Apply while your skin is still wet for best results.

So my wife bought it. Works better than anything else I've used so i stole it from her. :D

My doctor recommended this body oil for my dry and aging skin. I was not able to purchase it in the retail stores, but was lucky to find it in Amazon. The nice part about this oil is that once applied it does not stay oily to the touch or on clothing. It has a nice smell also. The only negative comment I can state is that it has to be applied to your skin while your skin is moist. The doctor told me to take either a shower or bath and without drying off, rub the oil all over my body and either let it self dry (only takes a moment) or just pat dry with a towel. I love to take a really hot bath and so when standing up in what feels like a cold room, still dripping wet, I feel really chilled until dressing. But that is little to contend with because the end result is that my skin stops itching and I feel really,really good. I highly recommend this wonderful oil.

I am totally devoted to this product! A 32oz pump bottle of Neutrogena Light Sesame Body Oil sits on the ledge of my bath tub right next to my other very favorite bath/shower product.....Vitabath Moisturizing Bath & Shower Gelee, Original Spring Green. When used together, my skin stays soft and smooth even during the coldest winters.

I first learned of Neutrogena Light Sesame Body Oil from an article in a magazine about the personal favorite products of beauty profesionals. The oil was mentioned several times as a tried and true after-bath or shower moisturizer for even the driest or most problematic skins.

The oil is meant to be applied to the body immediately after bathing or showering but before toweling dry. The oil is quickly absorbed into the skin, almost nothing is left on the towel used to dry yourself. Once dry, your skin is silky smooth but not oily. The fragrance is delicate and clean and not cloying.

I then apply a good moisturizer like(Olay Quench Body Lotion Extra Dry Skin - 20.2 Oz)to my hands, feet, elbows and any other area that I think could use a little more softening and smoothing.

The oil and the moisturizer combine to form a moisture barrier on the skin that lasts and lasts. It's surprising to see how quickly the oil works! And how much more effective it is to use the after-bath oil than just an moisturizer by itself.

This product is a good investment in your skin's health and appearance!

It does not smell like sesame oil at all, which is good. Not like the smell of food. It actually has a very pleasant sensual smell. Oil is not too thick. Nice to apply after a bath, but you can also put some on the tub when relaxing. Wife and I are using it especially more often during the winter. It helps you to stay a little bit warm. Helps your skin to keep it from drying. Not bad to use for massage, but kinda expensive for that purpose.

I've used Neutrogena Body Oil for nearly 10 years. It leaves your skin feeling soft without any oily residue. Just put it on after a shower and let it absorb for a minute or two. It also has a pleasant subtle scent. I've used other oils, and some felt like they left a residue. Others seemed more irritating to my skin.

This body oil works great. That's why I've used it for the past decade!

Not an effective moisturizer (for me, anyway). It feels and smells perfectly nice. After use, my skin feels even drier and itchier than it did before I used it; it also seems to create a barrier on my skin: lotion applied after the oil (later in the day, for example) doesn't help at all. Looks like I'll be getting rid of this and going back to a shea butter-heavy lotion.

I have very dry skin and tried this after all the great reviews. I am sad to report that this is not as emollient or humectant as my skin needs to find comfort. The oil feels nice and it spreads well. It takes a while for it to absorb even though it is lightweight, but that didn't bother me. I thought an oil would be extremely moisturizing, but my skin didn't feel or look very hydrated at all. In fact, it felt equally as dry (as if I had applied a dry oil) with a bit of a sheen. With a cream or lotion, the skin smoothes and plumps up with moisture. I tried this bc I was looking for something like that but even more effective, but this doesn't work. I may try this under a thicker lotion or cream to see if it adds anything as un under-layer. On it's own, it is not effective.

UPDATE ON PREVIOUS REVIEW: I have found that using it in the shower helps it absorb into the skin without leaving a dry oil residue behind. However, even when I tried it with the matching lotion on top, it still did not fully hydrate my dry skin. I'll try it again in the summer.
