New formula works as awesomely as the old. It's the only thing that clears up my keratosis and mends my cracked feet. It's not a great smell but goes away in a few minutes. New pump bottle is annoying though. If they ever stopped making it I'd lose my mind.

This review is for the Skin Smoothing formula not the Skin Firming formula.I was upset with the fact that Jergens changed their old formula.The old formula (the old formula actually worked!!!) contained- Water,glycerin, cetearyl alcohol,petrolatum,mineral oil, ceteareth-20, cyclomethicone,dimethicone,sodium lactate, LACTIC ACID, tridecyl salicylate,tocopheryl acetate,stearic acid, glyceryl dilaurate, aluminum starch octenylsuccinte, acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer,methylparaben,propyparaben, dmdm hydantoin, frangrance. THIS JERGENS ORIGINAL FORMULA WORKED. I discovered Jergens SKIN Smoothing lotion (Beta hydroxy & Alpha hydroxy)Skin type(Extra Dry) in a convienece store 4 years ago . I purchased a bottle and WOW I saw a difference in 1 week. I went back to the store and stocked up (8 bottles).Jergens original formula exfoliated everything gently (arms,elbows, hands,back, legs, back of thighs, knees, feet, your "behind".The old formula even improved my KP- Keratosis pilaris. Unfortunately,I ran out of my stash.I went to a local convenience store to buy more Skin Smoothing lotion, but this time I noticed that Jergens had changed the bottle,but I bought 1 big bottle anyway. The new formula is light, but does absolutely Nothing. The new formula is a waste of time and money and its just a big bottle of useless lotion. I was so disappointed.I WILL NEVER BUY JERGENS AGAIN!!

I never used the original formula, so I can't compare the products. But I LOVE this lotion. I live in a NYC apartment with very dry winter air. Every winter I'd get seriously dry skin, even if I used lotion right after my showers. This year I already had gotten cracked dry skin all over my hands and rough scaly patches here and there on my body. After just a couple of days of applying this lotion (within a couple of minutes of gently toweling dry after my morning shower), my skin was vastly improved. In a week, it was smooth and soft again! The fragrance is okay, slightly strong--I have asthma and am sensitive to perfume--but it doesn't bother me, havent had any problems with blue streaks or anything, although every so often a bead won't "pop" right away. I've tried many different lotions and brands, and I've never been impressed like this before. It's a real winner.

I also used the old formula for years and freaked out when the new formula replaced the old. However, after using the new formula for about a month, even my husband was commenting that I had "seriously soft skin." I recently found a small bottle of the old formula under my sink & took it on a business trip. After about a week, I noticed that my skin felt crackly after about 8 hours & I had to use the old formula more often to get the same impact. I love the little beads. They release little fruit acids that help to exfoliate.

This product is great!! I love the scent and it leaves my skin so soft.

I also miss the old formula (especially the scent. I find the new scent to be sort of generic perfumey. And who puts beads in LOTION???) but will continue to stick with this stuff. The AHA keep my skin supersmooth and the scent wears off with reasonable speed. I haven't experienced the film issue that some people have, but I still say we petition Jergens to bring back the old stuff...

I don't like this lotion. I don't like the scent and I'm not sure what the purpose of the beads are. I won't buy it again.

Like many others have mentioned, I too miss the old formula! I have keratosis pilaris and this was the only lotion that finally improved the look and feel of my skin. I was happy to have discovered the original lotion after wasting so much money on more expensive creams. And then I discovered that they changed the formula. I'm so disappointed! I encourage others to log on to the Jergens website (as I did) to let them know that we want our original lotion back!

I was a HUGE fan of the old formula. I don't like the smell of this new formula, plus the 'beads' left blue streaks on me and my clothes! I'll come back to Jergens when they bring the old formula back.

I agree with everyone else about the old lotion, which was much better. I had used it for about 10 years. The new scent is not as nice, the formula gives me a weird film on my skin, those blue beads leave blue streaks on my skin if I don't rub them in enough, and it doesn't work nearly as well to keep my skin smooth.
