It's non-greasy but still super moisturizing.
I’m a fast-moving person, but the one time a day I allow myself to slow down is during my body care routine. If my skin needs a little extra TLC, I’ll start with a body cream, but if it’s just a normal day, I’ll go for a more lightweight lotion—and I always finish my routine by applying oil all over. It helps seal in the moisture from my lotions and gives my skin a lasting glow. My favorite pick, which I’ve used for the last seven years, has been Neutrogena’s Body Oil.
The body oil is made from pure white sesame seeds, which allow the skin to maintain its moisture balance while leaving it with a healthy-looking glow. It also has a lightweight, fragrance-free formula that dries quickly and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy.

My mom initially introduced me to Neutrogena’s body oil; she’s been using it for over 20 years and her skin is always glowing. I “borrowed” it over seven years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I apply it after using my body cream or lotion and focus on dry patches on my elbows, knees, and even my cuticles.
It melts into my skin effortlessly without leaving any residue, and there’s no transfer onto my clothes or bedding. Upon initial application, my skin feels hydrated and stays moisturized for hours—no reapplication needed. I also like that it’s fragrance-free because it doesn’t fight with the fragrance of my body lotion or my perfumes. My textured skin is left baby-soft and radiant. The only con I have is that the product does come out quickly because of its liquid consistency.
I’m not the only one who’s used the body oil for years and loves it. Over 9,700 Amazon shoppers have given the body oil five-star ratings with raving reviews to match. A reviewer who’s been using it for over 25 years said it leaves their skin feeling silky and that they “love the smell and light feel of the oil.” Another long-time user dealing with dry skin and eczema said they forego lotion now because they prefer the body oil. They also said it’s “very moisturizing” and can be applied quickly.
