Absorption speed / sinks in fast
does it disappear into skin or sit on topThe disappearing actHempz Sugared Banana & Vanilla Blossom Body Moisturizer - 17.0 ozBase thickness explains the gap here. The three Hempz lotions all pour thin. Sugared Banana & Vanilla Blossom Body Moisturizer - 17.0 oz draws the cleanest record of the group, gone within moments of smoothing on rather than sitting on the surface, and Exotic Green Tea & Asian Pear Body Moisturizer - 17.0 oz and White Peach Rosé & Peony Body Moisturizer - 17.0 oz land just behind it, quick for almost everyone who mentions them. Cetaphil goes in fast for most, though a few reviewers waited out a heavy, tacky layer that took its time. If dressing straight after applying decides it, the Hempz banana lotion is the one to reach for first.
