Advantages: Works! easy to pop in the handbag
Disadvantages: Price - could be cheaper
I bought this because I have terribly dry skin during the winter on my face to the point where it embarrasses me.
~Cost~
I got it in boots for £4.50 (n more than £5) and of course I got boots points.
You only get 50ml for that price but actually its quite rich so you don't need so much.
~Packaging~
It comes in a rectangular cardboard box, and then inside a tube with a screw top, about 12cms high so you can easily fit it in your handbag.
~The cream~
Its white , not perfumed smells quite sweet in my opinion. it contains no animal derived ingredients and contains Aquaxyl (meant to deeply moisturise) and canola Oil (replenish & protect), its hypoallergenic and dermatologist approved
~How to use~
(Quoted) Apply liberally as often as required on the hands, body and face - for maximum benefit use 3 - 4 times a day
~My findings~
Well I had just over a week before a big night out and I felt like my face was falling off (due to the heating). I picked this up because in there's a red banner on the front of the box claiming clinically proven results in 4 days - and they weren't wrong! I was really impressed. You only need a little bit as its really rich and too much made my face feel really greasy and look very shinny until it soaked in, but fantastic result by day 3 I noticed a difference, I probably applied it more than suggested purely because I wanted it gone so quickly. I had dry hands to and that seems to have cleared up nicely - another good thing is that sometimes I have found that if you use a daily moisturiser, if you miss a day your skin reverts back almost instantly and since the big night out I have continued to use it and I've not had that problem at all.
I don't know how it would help with eczema, but on reading other reviews it all seems very positive. I'm certainly pleased with the result
Summary: excellent for dry skin
