Most of the comments in this sub for Aestura are for their facial products (which I'm a fan of), but I don't see a lot of mentions for their body products, so I thought I'd share my experience.
Full product names:
Aestura Atobarrier 365 Body Cream
Aestura Atobarrier 365 Body Lotion
Tldr, I am in love with the Aestura Body Cream!
Some background on me: I have eczema on my legs, specifically the kind that looks a lot like keratosis pilaris (KP). I think it's what is called follicular eczema. It's not itchy but it looks very unsightly. Red spots under the skin in some areas and bumps in some other areas. The bumps have some white plugs in them. For several years I tried every kind of exfoliant to address what I thought was KP but it didn't make the problem go away. Finally I went to a derm and got told it was eczema. I was on a steroid cream for about 2 weeks which got my skin nice and smooth, after which I decided to explore serious body moisturizing options for maintenance. Hence the Aestura body products. I've loved the Aestura 365 Cream and Hydroessence for my face, so I thought their body stuff might work for me too.
I've previously tried many brands of body lotion, both AB and Western, and never quite felt like they pushed moisture into the skin effectively. As much as I love a fun fragrance, I felt like some of them irritated my eczema. Also, I feel like a lot of lotions seem to sit on top of the skin and feel greasy rather than penetrate properly. Like I'm still greasy the next morning. The Aestura Body Cream, on the other hand, sinks into my skin beautifully. I apply it at night right after my shower, then I wake up in the morning with smooth and hydrated skin. No stickiness!
I prefer the Aestura Body Cream for my legs because of my eczema needs, but I like the Aestura Body Lotion for my decolletage and arms since it has a slightly lighter feel.
I really wish the Aestura Body Cream came in a pump format. I think if they used a larger pump it would work.
Curious to know what your experience has been with this range, and perhaps similar AB products that have also worked for you folks.

I got an AutoMod reply saying that the link in my post needs a comment with a description. Not sure what that means since I don’t have a link in my post, but I’m assuming it was referring to my pic?
Here’s a description of the pic:
