Advantages: it does add some moisture

Disadvantages: it doesn't provide extra moisture for dry skin like it claims

Having very dry skin, i am always on the look out for a product that can help moisturise my skin and make it look healthy and hydrated. I recently purchased Dry Skin Sos Cream from Avon Cosmetics. It retails at £4.00 but i bought it whilst it was on offer.

It is a 200ml tub of cream. The tub is a slightly off white colour with a band of orange going around the bottom, it has a blue screw top lid. It has the 'Avon Care' logo in a blue box with the product name next to it.

When i opened the tub no smell came jumping out at me so i smelt the product closer. There is a very faint smell and i did find it hard to actually distinguish what i thought it could be. I came to the conclusion that it was just a fresh airy smell, if that makes any sense.

The cream itself is white in colour and to look at it in the tub it seems very thick. When ready to use, i took some out on my finger and found that it was a very thick cream. It is meant to 'save severely dry skin with gentle moisture' and i think that this is why the cream is so thick for as its meant to add extra moisture to the skin.

When applying the cream to my face i found that i could spread it around easily and that it soaked into my skin fairly quickly. I wasn't sure how well it would soak in with it being so thick, but i was impressed with it.

However this is not a product that i would recommend if you are looking for something with extra moisture. It did leave my skin quite soft but i felt that it didn't do any more for my skin than any other moisturiser that ive used before. It claims that it provides intense moisturisation for your skin but for me this is not a product for dry skin just a normal moisturiser.

Summary: not one i would recommend
