New Nivea In-Shower Body Lotions

In-Shower body lotions are something I don't see too often, especially in the drugstore, but it's kind of an interesting concept.  I recently tried one by Lush called Ro's Argan Body Conditioner and it worked really well, but it was expensive ($32.95) and I didn't care for the rose scent.  Since then, I've been keeping an eye out for a similar type of product, and viola!  These just showed up at Target, Walgreens, and Drugstore.com...take a look!

The idea behind an in-shower lotion is that you smooth it on while you're still in the shower (after cleansing) and then rinse it off before you get out...just like hair conditioner. It soaks into the skin and eliminates the need to use a body lotion when you get out of the shower. Supposedly, applying it in the shower with all that moisture and steam helps it to penetrate better- kind of like how you've always been told to apply body lotion or oil while your skin is still damp...it helps to lock in the moisture.



These come in three formulas...Nourishing, Hydrating, and Smoothing.

What do you think of this idea?  Would you try an in-shower lotion or do you think it sounds strange? When I first tried the Lush one, I felt like I was washing half the product down the drain, but it really did work...my skin felt really soft and I didn't need a body lotion afterwards. I think I would definitely try these, but I'm curious as to what they smell like.
