Failed again !

published

I have mixed J. baby lotion with almond oil soap for decades as fabulous wet shave lotion. Once before they altered the formula and it failed. They brought back the original one. Now that has gone too and the replacement is a disaster for me. Was the Liquid Paraffin getting too expensive for them ? The glycerin they now use as the oily phase is a total mistake. I will not buy again until the original formula comes back

TERRIBLE

published

I have used the old johnstone baby lotion since I was 14. And now 37.The new "Improved" johnstone is TERRIBLE.. what were you thinking.
It is nothing like the old one.
The smell is different. The cream feels greesy.
I now am struggling to find another cream.
I just hope you will listen to your customers and just say ok we have messed up.
I'm sure your sales will back this up.

Please bring back the normal baby lotion

Really disappointed that the formula has changed. Why? The original pink baby lotion smelt so nice, this one smells awful. Will not be buying Johnson's Baby Lotion again unless the original is brought back.

It smells like (urine0 pee, plz, plz, bring back the original formula....... who’s idea was this to take such a excellent product and mess it up like this...... this stuff stinks. Not creamy and very weak, you really have messed up the brand name now, I was heartbroken after purchasing this new product, you have really stained the brand now. Go back to the original formula please!!!

Why change a perfect product.

published

My mum used the original Johnsons baby product on me as a baby, I am now 56 and have used the products for years. The lotion is now greasy and the beautiful smell that was Johnsons baby has been changed. I don't like the new scent at all. Please change your products back to the original scent.

Devastated

published

Johnson's have ruined this lotion. I'm 65 year old man and have been using this lotion since 1968. My fave is as smooth and as fresh as a clean baby's bottom. They have changed the consistency so soft and creamy and leaves my skin feeling chaffed and added coconut so it smells. Not nice. Please bring back the old formula or will have to go elsewhere

Why oh Why??? Devastated!!!

published

Literally Devastated at the changed of what was an everyday part of my life! For the last 50 years I have used the pink baby lotion twice daily!!! Tried the new version, I do not like the smell/texture or how it made my face feel!! Immediately I got the sense that it did not suit me, skin felt tight and yes a rash flared up shortly after applying! What am I to do??? I would Not use it on a precious baby.

Felt oily and left a filmy feel on my skin

published

Not a good lotion. After putting it on it still felt like I had a layer of film on my skin even an hour after. It didn't really absorb into my skin.

Huge mistake

published

Like so many other reviewers I'm dismayed at the product change. I've been using the original pink baby lotion for decades on my children (now over 40) and daily on myself to cleanse and hydrate and at nearly 70 my complexion remains flawless. I've tried the new product and dislike it intensely - the smell, consistency and the tacky after effect on my skin. Please, please restore the original product to your range.

Why have you changed a well loved product

published

I have been using the pink baby lotion for over 50 years and my daughters have too since they were teenagers. The new lotion is awful, leaves my skin feeling tight and the smell not so nice. Have just been on holiday to Greece and was able to buy the original pink one. Once that has gone I will have to find an alternative. Such a shame as it looks like I am not the only one to complain.

WHHHHYYYY YY? You’ve ruined a classic.

I’ve been using J & J baby lotion as an eye makeup remover for 44 (yes, 44!) successful years. It was the BEST. The new formula resulted in a rash. So disappointed. Please change back to the original!

August 2022. Bought a newer version of the pink bottle baby lotion

published

Sadly, the consistency & the scent of my fave pink baby body lotion has completely changed. The scent is as strong as my laundry fabric softener & it smell pretty sharp on nose that I had to return it to my local store. Very sad. I have loved the original for a year & wish I had stocked up!
