Bought 50ml just to try first seeing good feedback from this product. It's okay for me and kids that have sensitive skin may use it the smell were okay too and it soften my skin after days of using it. Show details
Missed the old formula – Was looking for the old formula pink baby lotion that really smell great but totally disappointed that it wasn't the same formula!! This new baby lotion cause itching skin!!!!
It's all business.. There's only 1/2 litre and 1litre bottles. No smaller 100ml packs – what if someone want to test a product for few days or use for travel. There are other products who provide smaller packs

Original baby lotion i need it in my life – I have used this product on my face must be 40 yrs I have good skin and am devastated it's been discontinued ,plz plz bring it back the new one has no comparison and it can't be bad for years it's been known for its mildness for babies, unless this was a lie ???? But I still love it .
Why fix it, if it ain’t broke!!! Simply heartbroken – Using since the 1960s , 4 generations of my family have used this product. Not greasy long lasting the best soft smell. Nothing compares to it. 30 words not enough. Comeback Show details
a fantastic product – This is a lotion that is a staple in my dresser. I love how it makes my skin smooth and it doesn't get too greasy or oily throughout the day. Show details

Awful smell! – I purchased a new J&J baby lotion and discovered it has a new awful smell - had to wash it off! What happened to the original vague scent? I have a very sensitive nose so always used the baby lotion because the old scent didn't affect it. This new scent is terrible - bring back the original scent, or make a scent free/sensitive version. Show details
Oh dear God...what is this smell – I have purchased a new 500ml bottle of J&J baby lotion and discovered it has a new horrid smell. What happened to that classic lovely scent? I have chronic asthma so always used the baby lotion because the scent didn't trigger my asthma. But this new scent is horrid...please bring back the original scent. Why change? Same with the baby shampoo bring back that classic scent also. Show details
totally opposite – Johnson's Baby Lotion used to be my favourite lotion before 2019 but the new one is totally rubbish. How can it be good for babies while it is too strong for adults even. My eyes get effected and there are no good result for the skin. I request Johnson company to introduce the old lotion again. I will never buy the new lotion again. Extremely poor. Show details

Horrible Overpowering smell – I bought this thinking it was the original. I used it on my hands and even after 1.5 hours at my computer I could not concentrate the smell was too destracting and too pungent and sickening. It does not smell like coconuts like the coconut extract added to it. It does not smell subtle as it shuld for babies. I had to run and wash it off. I… Read more
feel so sorry for poor little babys getting bathed in this and having to smell the stench and not be able to say anthing or wash it off. If it is too much for me an adult what about a poor little baby. The original formula had a gentle, subtle, adorable smell, like baby's. Apparently though the original was full of nasty parabens and dyes etc . Saying that surely they could have kept the original smell or something similar or at the very least more subtle than this new one. Johnson and Johnson you need to change this immediately. Also the original pink bottle was as adorable as the original lotion and smell. Please bring back the original minus the nasties, thank you....
New Formula Since 2018 is Garbage.....All 5 Star Reviews Are For the Old Formula – It's unbelievable that any company could possibly make such a colossal blunder and change a formula that has been a major family favorite for decades. J&J Pink Baby Lotion has always been one of most highly successful and well loved products around the world for generation after generation. To most people the fragrance of the original J&J Pink… Read more
Baby Lotion IS the smell of a baby. No other scent in the world gives the most well known essence of a baby. The original J&J Pink Baby Lotion is one of the most classic and highly recognized products of modern world history having been a staple in the lives of many millions for the past 80 years since it's introduction in 1942. There was no consumer driven reason to make any changes. In this time of forced changes in our society we should at least be able to count on a few simple things in our lives that feel steadfast and solid and dependable. Is it really too much to ask that something so simple as baby lotion can remain to be as we've always known and loved it?
Bring back the original! – I have been using this since I was a teenager, for myself and babies. The new shape bottle is hard to open and the smell is not delightful as the original will not be using anymore after 60plus years of using and will not be recommending it anymore either. Show details

Bring Back The Original – This new formula is terrible!!! I wrote to Johnson’s and got no reply. I will never buy this lotion again. The original formula was used by my mother, I used it my whole life and used it on my children also. This was the lotion of my whole entire family. Does anyone know where to get the original formula? I will buy the whole lot!!! Show details
So disappointing and unnecessary – I contacted Johnson’s regarding this change to their baby lotion and they responded but miss the point. The pink lotion that I’ve used for years was excellent so why change? Show details
The Research and Development Team who changed this should be dismissed – I have been using this for donkey's years and it used to be brilliant. it is now greasy rubbish and is at discount prices to get rid of it at a lot of shops. Shame on you Johnsons, you are still not listening months on. Show details
Bring Back The Original – I've used it for 60 years, but now I have to stop. This new formula leaves my skin dry and tight, it's terrible. Why change a winning product. I now have to use an additional cream to combat the dryness of this new lotion. What a shame.
Petition to bring back the pink Baby lotion – There is an online petition on change.org to bring back the classic pink Baby lotion. Please sign it. So many people enjoyed the original iconic product and we should have that option. Show details
Terrible new product – Have used the original pink lotion for 40 years now u make new stuff and it's horrible. Smells nasty and I have broke out from it and never had a problem before. I don't understand why change something that was perfect the way it was. I spend hundreds of dollars a year on this and until the original is back I will not buy it again. Show details

New Johnson's baby lotion - awful – Sack the scientist who designed the new formula, Johnson's!! This product is just not good. Leaves skin with a dry and tight feeling. The original was perfect, Please please bring back the old, I will not be purchasing the new formula again.
Absolutely Awful – I do not know who Johnsons think they are trying to kid! The new baby lotion is absolutely awful, really greasy its more like moisturisng cream. They have lost a very long time customer as I will not be buying this new rubbish. I have been using the old baby lotion every day on my face for 40yrs and now I am at a loss as to what to use now. I… Read more
really dont think this new stuff will sell as well as the old, its a case of if somethings not broken then it doesnt need fixing. JOHNSONS bring back the old lotion for all your loyal customers as I am sure that im not alone in feeling this way! The new lotion will not sell as well as the old, it did not need changing so why change it? I've had to give it a star so I could post this review but it does not warrant any stars from me at all.
Awful what's happened – I have used baby lotion on my children my eldest 39,I have used it on my face for 30 yrs ...now I find it greasy doesn't smell nice ,my eyes have been irritated and burning for days what have yous done to the best lotion on the market,sorry but I have to find something similar can't use this any longer can't risk it...

Failed again ! – 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 Show details
TERRIBLE – 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.

Why change a perfect product – My mum used the original Johnsons baby product on me as a baby, I am now 56 and have used the products for years.
