Baby Nappy Rash Cream in French Disguise!

Advantages: Provided immediate relief from dry hands and absorbs fairly quickly.
Disadvantages: Smells exactly like baby nappy rash cream. A rip off price for such average quality cream.

What is it? *********** A premium hand cream by the French company L'Occitane. Special Features? ******************* A specially formulated premium hand cream containing 20% of Shea Butter, Linseed extract, Honey extract, Sweet Almond, Coconut Oil, Rapeseed extract, Rosemary extract and Sunflower Seed Oil. Especially formulated to nourish, protect and soften dry hands. What do I think? ***************** Despite it's swanky brand name and claims ...
...provided immediate relief from dry hands which is to be expected. It has quite a thick consistency but does absorb quite quickly into the skin. However, it does leave a slight residue but I don't find that it causes any problems. It appears quite a thick concentrated cream, but I find that that I do still need to squeeze a substantial amount onto my hand for sufficient coverage so it's not very economical. Each time I wash my hands, I tend to need ...

L'Occitane Lavender hand cream... fantastic!!!

Advantages: Smells wonderful; leaves hands very soft
Disadvantages: Price, lid could be better

I love L'Occitane products for their gorgeous fragrances and natural ingredients, so when I saw the lavender hand cream, I just had to have it. THE PACKAGING I have long since discarded the box, but it was a lovely quality, thick cardboard in a creamy colour with a lavender coloured border and scrolly writing, as far as I remember. The tube inside is typical of l'Occitane's simple style. It is a silvery metal with a dark blue octagonal screw cap ...
...available mail order directly from L'Occitane (http://uk.loccitane.com). A comment on availability is that you might not get hold of it al year round because L'Occitane cycle their products according to harvests, so that you are getting a very fresh product. I always keep a spare tube in so have not found this a problem as it lasts so long! I am not really a hand cream person so I love the texture of this one, being so light. However, for anyone ...

Shea Butter was great and took away the dryness

Advantages: Definitely relieves dryness
Disadvantages: none

My wife recommended this product with Shea Butter because of the constant dryness on the bottom of my right foot. Actually, I thought it was some type of condition that I had that would probably not go away. I tried all the normal lotions that my wife brought home but when I tried this for a couple of weeks it was great! First, I would like to say that I am more of a jock and don't really use these type of products but believe me if your husband ...
...the product to use! Some of the information about this product is known as a moisturizer and emollient. It is also used for scars, eczema, burns, rashes, and of course severely dry skin. I would rub it in deeply every night and wear one sock and did this for two weeks. After the second week I could really tell the difference and I don't really need to put any type of lotion on the area anymore. I choose to use the regular lotion now and the dryness ...

Advantages: Helps get to sleep, lovely smell
Disadvantages: None

...buy things out of the avon as i love there products and most of them agree with my sensitive skin. i had looked at the sleeptherapy range for a while but never tried it, so i thought i would give it a go as i was having problems getting off to sleep at night.

...and looks like vaseline The smell It has a really nice smell hard to describe its abit like lavender with a little bit of a perfume smell but not too strong. How to use You just use a little bit on your pulse points, wrists, neck and temples it can be greasy at first but not if you rub it in well and you dont have to use much. Did it work Well it did for me i rubbed it on my wrists and temples as i said earlier the smell is very nice but it ...

Review of Avon Sleeptherapy Balm

How does it affect your...

good but not amazing, makes putting make up on difficult

Advantages: nice smell, quick initial results
Disadvantages: forms white coat, difficult to apply make up on

This cream does visibly tighten your pores and reduces redness, imperfections and spots. The smell is fresh and not too medicinal and the cream itself applies easily without any probelms. However, once you have applied it, it forms a very subtle whitish coat that makes putting make up on extremely difficult. It prevents liquid make up of any sort (primmer, foundation, concealer) from smooth and easy application. Liquid make up forms little lumps ...
