Note: Priced Individually

For most vehicles including full-size sedans, SUVs and trucks, Bilstein performance shock absorbers and struts have been designed to provide improved handling and ride control without sacrificing comfort. Fade-free performance is achieved by using high gas pressure, monotube design with a large diameter shock body. The HD Series is ideal for heavy hauling and occasional off-road use.

The Bilstein Principle

All Bilstein gas pressure struts/inserts and gas pressure shock absorbers operate on the same principle. They are manufactured with the rod pointing down into the strut tube, thereby utilizing the thicker, stouter body portion of the shock absorber to dissipate side loads. Consequently, due to the increased diameter and surface of the pressure tube, the Bilstein gas pressure strut/insert or shock is better suited to take increased side loads when compared with the conventional version.

Additional advantages, based on development strongly influenced by the motorsport industry, include greater stability, better road handling, and accurate steering. This combined with extremely high quality manufacturing and materials, means Bilsteins will last approximately four times as long as Original Equipment.

Battling Heat Build Up

Conventional shocks trap the heat within the shock body and prevent adequate dissipation, making them prone to heat build up, fade and eventual failure.

Bilstein's patented design allows the excessive heat from the oil to transfer to the outer surface of the shock body and dissipate more efficiently. The dividing piston also permits the oil to expand as heat builds, preventing aeration (foaming) and viscosity loss. This allows the shock to maintain full damping characteristics as temperatures rise.

The tube of a Bilstein gas pressure shock or strut is fabricated using a special extrusion method. This process achieves an extremely tight peak-to-valley tolerance and maintains consistent wall thickness. Bilstein's seamless monotube design provides superior tube strength while maximizing heat dissipation and shock life.

Ride Comfort and Performance Without Compromise

The piston head design allows independent tuning of the compression and rebound damping forces to provide optimum ride comfort and performance without compromise. It features fewer parts than most conventional designs. The product's simple, yet exceptionally functional digressive design contributes to the extreme durability and long life of Bilstein Shock Absorbers.

Better Built

Bilstein's shock bodies are precision formed through a unique seamless extrusion process. This provides superior strength along with high finish tolerances. The shock body is then treated with a special paint finish durable enough to withstand grueling 240-hour salt spray tests. The finished body is mated with a solid, induction-hardened steel chrome plated and polished shaft, machined valving components and highest quality seals.

Bilstein products are backed by an aftermarket lifetime warranty.

Great scent, hydrating, not greasy or sticky.
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This Karl&Hans Moisturizing Body Lotion is a good value at approx $23 on Amazon right now. This is a large 390 ml bottle of lotion. Thankfully it comes with a pump that worked well and made it convenient to use. I especially used it a lot after washing my hands. It's a lightweight lotion with a delicious coconut, musky scent. I was immediately interested in this because of the PDRN and ceramide complex. My skin is always dry and needs support, and this lotion left it soft, soothed, and hydrated. This absorbed quickly, and I didn't notice any lingering issues of feeling greasy or sticky.

Buy it for the scent, keep using it for the benefits...
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
During the pandemic, I became a bit of a skincare fanatic. I didn't have much to do otherwise, and so I began collecting various creams, lotions, serums, and other products that claimed they would help regain what I had lost or would help prevent what was coming. I stuck with a few things after I got back to work but honestly did not have the time to sit down and apply this to that and that to his. In all seriousness, I really did enjoy it all. I found a few favorites, a few holy grails, and I've continued to use those products. I recently started looking for something new and I discovered a new ingredient. Well, I didn't discover it, I just happened upon it as a main ingredient in many skincare products. At first, silly me thought it was a new brand. Then I started seeing it pop up in a lot of product description pages. Polydeoxyribonucleotide or better known as PDRN. I did a little research on the internet as one does and found that the PDRN is quite popular nowadays in the world of skincare because of its regenerative and healing properties. I am all here for regenerative and healing properties in my skincare products. I look forward to learning more about this new (to me) ingredient. I came across this bottle 13.2-ounce bottle of Karl & Hans Moisturizing Body Lotion not too long ago and it promised deep hydration with its coconut-derived extracts and it, too, had some PDRN in it, RICERA PDRN plus ceramide complex, to strengthen the skin barrier. Now, I've only been using it for about a month, when I'm home. With it's tall pump bottle containing 13.2 ounces of product, it's a bit too big to be sticking it in my purse. I do, however, keep it in my bathroom and use it as my body lotion after my showers. First of all, the smell is just incredible. I just used it to inspire this review. A good pump of this lotion was more than enough to moisturize my hands and my arms. What surprised me about this lotion was how fast it absorbs into my skin. There is no tacky or greasy feeling after application, the only evidence I've just used a lotion is the dry skin on my hands is not as noticeable due to the moisturizing properties of this lotion and the lovely soft scent of coconut wafting about the room. My skin feels soft and the dry skin isn't as evident. I haven't been using this product enough to say that it can do what it claims, but I can say that I enjoy and like this lotion very much and will continue to use it. at $1.74 an ounce, it's definitely an affordable skincare option to continue to use all over the body, after every shower and on my hands after every handwash. I think it would be a great gift to each of the team of ladies I work with. I've often received remarks that I smell so good from them, and I just smile because it's not a fancy, expensive perfume I imagine they think it is. It's just a great lotion that I got from Amazon. If, over time, I see the overall appearance of my skin appear healthier, than I will consider that a double win. I definitely recommend this moisturizing lotion. I am happy with using it and I think you will be, too. Gift it to yourself or to your friends. The scent as lovely as it is, could also be used by the men in the house, too. I might start keeping my bottle by the kitchen sink so my husband could enjoy it as I do.

Love the scent! Paraben free and really hydrating
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've never used any Karl&Hans product before, but I'm really impressed with what they've done here. Contrary to the very European name, this lotion is made in Korea. The Mellow Coconut fragrance isn't subtle, but it's relaxing. It's blatantly coconut right off the bat, but when it settles in, there's a lingering fruity vanilla scent. It'll stay wafting around you for a good amount of time after application. The lotion is pretty rich and thick in consistency. It's not quite a cream, but it's thick enough that it doesn't run much, or at all, when you plop some on a vertical surface. That might just be because it's cold where I am, though, so it might be more runny in hotter climates. The thickness betrays how easily it rubs in. It's super quick to absorb and hydrates well without feeling heavy. My skin feels moisturized but not sticky or greasy. PDRN seems to be the hot buzz ingredients of the times right now. I'm not fully educated in the science behind it, but this lotion is really turning me into a believer of whatever skincare magic it's supposed to work. According to Skin Safe, it's also free of parabens, nickel, lanolin, and a bunch of other top common allergy causing preservatives. At $23 for 13.2 fl oz/390 ml, this is definitely steeper in price than your average body lotion, but it works some serious magic in the moisturizing department. It's been a good while since my skin felt so satisfyingly supple. I'd prefer if the scent weren't quite as strong, I can't deny it smells good.

Side by side comparison ......
Scent: Fresh Mint, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Like everyone else shopping around for lotion, I want one that, most importantly, works. I'm so very tired of lotions that feel like I'm applying colored water to hands so my go to lotion has become Gold Bond as it's a genuinely thick, somewhat long lasting lotion with minimal scent at a decent (ish) price point. I am however, always looking to find something even better so I thought I'd give this stuff a try. This is just an estimation, but I feel it is about 20% less viscous than the Gold Bond Healing lotion however, in a side by side test where I applied the back of one hand with the GB and the back of the other with this K&H brand, after one hour the K&H feels every bit as supple but just a tad more velvety if you will. Although I prefer a non scented lotion, after an hour, the K&H scent has indeed lighted up a bit but smells better than the GB. The GB seems to almost have an underlying petroleum type odor - not offensive really but just that the K&H smells better to me is all. The Gold Bond does get the favoring nod in the price dept though as it's very close to 50% less expensive than this Karl & Hans. If all things were equal (and that includes the price), I'd pick the K&H over the GB however with price point always being of concern for me personally, I don't think the attributes of the K&H beat out the overall value of the GB.

Great! Unscented
Flavor Name: Unscented, Size: 1 count (Pack of 5)
Good natural ingredients, you can tell by the scent and texture and the ingredients list is spot on, no lies. This is perfect for sensitive skin. It has a pleasant olive oil scent and I have never gotten a rancid smell from it. The natural preservatives keep it nice. I have re-ordered over and over. Good product
