Can anyone recommend a non sticky body lotion?

I need to use a body moisturiser on my arms and legs but I hate the feeling of sticky, heavy creams. I've tried some of the firming lotions for "mature" skin but they don't seem to moisturise at all. The only one I like using is Clarins but that's quite pricey to use every day. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced, pleasant textured body lotion?

E 45 lotion. Soon soakes in, doesn't smell and is reasonably priced.

I use Garnier Body Superfood 48hour repairing butter.
It’s light and rubs in, you only need a small amount too.

Faith In Nature body lotion. I buy the lavender one - lovely! Also, Dr Organic Rose, which smells lovely, too.

I use Dermol 500. I have it on prescription for a skin condition but it is available at chemists. . Rubs in easily and not sticky, soothes dry and itchy skin.
