When it comes to keeping my skin moisturized I’m a bit of a fanatic. I suffer from dry skin year round, but it’s especially worse during the Winter months compliments of the dry air. I also suffer from Eczema which sometimes kicks in if I don’t keep my skin moisturized enough. Thankfully its usually limited to my hands, scalp, neck, eye lids and upper arms. Sadly I found a rather large patch on my belly just the other day.
I always make it a point to apply moisturizer as soon as I step out of the shower. Your warm, moist skin helps the moisturizer absorb quicker. Not only that I hate the dry, itchy feeling you get from soap residue sometimes.
I also make sure to apply moisturizer to my skin every day, even if I didn’t take a shower. However applying moisturizer is one of my pet peeves. I hate having to wait until it fully dries before I can get dressed. I’m sure many people can relate to that. Take for example my favorite stretch pants. They cling to my body and when your legs are wet with moisturizer it’s just plain messy. The same applies to my satin night shirt. The last thing I want is little wet blotches of moisturizer on my night shirt (not exactly very attractive :-)).
In addition to having to wait for the moisturizer to dry I also have to pump some into my hand, rub it over my skin, pump some more and repeat the process over and over again. It’s time consuming but it’s necessary to keep my skin moisturized or I’ll pay the consequences with dry, itchy, irritated skin.
Vaseline must have read my mind (and I’m sure the minds of many others) because they created a new product that not only moisturizes your skin but it also dries quickly and it makes applying moisturizer to your entire body quickly, easily and with less mess.
Introducing the new Spray & Go Moisturizer from Vaseline. Currently it’s available in three different varieties;
- Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Cocoa Radiant – Made with pure cocoa butter to give you healthy, glowing skin.
- Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Aloe Fresh – Made with pure Aloe for healthy, fresh skin
- Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture – Made with pure oat extract for healthy, soft skin
I received a bottle of Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Cocoa Radiant to put to the test. Is is possible this could dry quickly as well as make applying moisturizer quick and less messy?
First of all I have to say that I love the idea of a spray. It’s not always easy to reach certain areas on my body (like my back and shoulders). I like that I can spray a bit of this on the areas that are hard to reach (but not impossible since I have to rub the moisturizer in). This reminds me of spray on sunscreen, another great invention. 🙂
Applying Vaseline Spray & Go cannot be any easier. Simply twist the cap so that it’s open, spray up one leg, down the other, up one arm and down the other then rub your hands over it to spread it out over your skin and within seconds it’s dry and you are ready to get dressed.
I was skeptical and first but the moisturizer really does absorb super quick. In fact as I’m applying it to one limb it’s already dry on the limb I did previously.
Vaseline Spray & Go leaves your skin moisturized and soft. There is no greasy or sticky feeling.
Here is a great video that gives you a better idea of how the spray works. Please note that the lady in the commercial doesn’t really rub it in the way you are suppose to (you are suppose to do a better job than she did – it’s just to give you an idea of how quick and easy it is).
If only my teenager daughter could get ready for school in the morning as quickly as the lady in the video. LOL!
A little bit of the spray does a long way too. You don’t have to slather it on your skin. A light, gentle spray is all you need.
I don’t really notice much of a fragrance with this spray. I also don’t having glowing skin, but that is probably due to the fact that I am super pale and white as a ghost. I’m sure if my daughter used it (she has a touch of olive in her skin) it might make her skin glow. 🙂
I’m impressed. I can spray my legs and pull on my favorite pair of jeans in seconds or get dressed in my favorite night shirt at night after giving my skin a once over with the spray. I truly does absorb quickly and there is no mess. No more having to take time to pump moisturizer into your hand, rub it on, pump again, rub it on and so forth, plus having to wait several minutes for it to dry. I’m a busy mom. Who has time to stand around waiting like that? Not me!
Look for the new Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizers where ever beauty products are sold.

Mer says
If this really works, it sounds like a life changing product. No exaggeration. I’ve got superdry skin and I HATE standing around waiting for my moisturizer to sink in. Looking forward to trying this out!

When I first heard about this new product from Vaseline, I was very intrigued and also a bit cynical. But I was also hoping that it would work because then it could be my new go-to product for my dry skin. Your review has made me much more confident in trying the moisturizer out because just like you said, I do have some eczema down my arms and various parts of my body and it would be great to find a moisturizer that doesn’t leave a greasy feeling! Better yet that it dries quickly and I can go on with my day instead of having to rub it in over and over or get the moisturizer all over my clothes. I’m glad that you confirmed it does absorb into the skin quickly and you don’t need too much, just a once over spray down legs and arms. I like that there are three choices, I will have to see which one works for me, but I’m confident that any out of three will be a good choice. Thanks for your review! I’m definitely more likely to purchase the new Spray Go Vaseline Moisturizer next time I go to the store!

I will definitely have to check these out. This would be great for those hard to reach spots, like my back. And I do love that they dry so quickly, that would make life much easier, I hate having to wait for lotions to soak in…way too impatient, lol.
Lauren Harmon says
Oh, this looks amazing! The idea of it being spray on is nice too… Maybe it would avoid having slippery hands when heading out the door in the AM. I just may have to grab a bottle and test it out!
Becca says
That is so awesome! Another brand I like used to make a spray lotion but stopped…I will have to look for this one!
Allyson Bossie says
I have been thinking about this, but I was wondering how long it lasts. We go through a lot of lotion, and I would love a spray if it doesn’t run out as fast as the spray spf
Jenny N says
I’ve tried the total moisture and love it but did not know about the other two. I would really like to try the Cocoa Radiant.
Ashley Morrissey says
Oh wow! What a clever, easy idea from Vaseline!
