How it works
Lubriderm's website doesn't add any additional color on how the moisturizer works other than what is written in the overview.
Directions
Apply daily on hands and body. For best results, a body moisturizer should be used on lightly towel-dried skin after bathing to help seal in the surface moisture.

Reputation
There aren't many online reviews from customers on Lubriderm's Daily Moisture Lotion. It does receive 82/100 (based on 24 reviews) on Viewpoints.com and 4.5/5 (based on 10 reviews) on Drugstore.com. Skin care expert Paula Begoun isn't a fan. She thinks it is a very basic moisturizer that doesn't include essential ingredients to help make skin look and act younger (ie. antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, and cell-communicating ingredients).
I personally use Lubriderm and love to apply it after my morning shower and before bed. I'm not surprised that Paula calls it outdated - my mom used to have it around the house when I was a kid, and it doesn't feel or smell like much has changed. For an inexpensive moisturizer, I think it provides adequate hydration for normal to slight dry skin. I would challenge the claim that it has been clinically shown to lock in moisture for 24 hours, but it definitely provides relief from dry skin at least half that time. I really like how absorbent it is, too, because there's nothing worse that having to wait to get dressed while your moisturizer soaks in. As my skin gets older, I'll probably try to switch to a lotion that helps slow the signs of aging, but, for now, I'll stick with Lubriderm and continue to supplement with an SPF during the day.
