Elemis Men Sos Survival Cream

Advantages: Nice smell and packaging.
Disadvantages: Feels quite heavy on skin and does not obsorb easily.

...I use a big range of Elemis skin care products and have found them to be brilliant. My skin is smoother and clearer than it ever has been. I have been using Elemis for nearly two years and just love it. However, the S.O.S. cream is one of the few products from their range that I feel does not live up to what it says. The product claims to soothe and balance sensitive skin, it is to be applied to areas of high colour and to irritated parts of the face and decollete. I would be prone to redness and at times sensitivity so I thought the cream would be perfect for me, but unfortunately not. I have used almost all of the product and will continue to until it is finished, only because it was quite expensive. Elemis S.O.S. made no difference what so ever to my skin apart from making it feel quite sticky as it takes a long time... Read review

Advantages: lasts ages
Disadvantages: smells strong and very expensive

...Last year I turned 30 and treated myself to a stay at Springs Health Farm and opted for a couple of extra treatments. One of these was a Japanese Silk Booster Facial which cost me a whopping £64 (yes really) using all Elemis products and when it was finished my skin felt really wonderful.

I decided on the S.O.S Emergency Cream as this is a more specialised product and I thought that I could use my ordinary cleansers and moisturisers and use this as a top-up when needed. It cost me £26 which is very expensive but at the time I thought it must be worth it. The product comes... Read review

Advantages: Helps get rid of spots!
Disadvantages: strong smell

...Elemis S.O.S. cream, what do I think, well brilliant! It certainly works for me anyway. I use it when my skin has gone blochy and when I get spots, I use it once a day or twice when my skin is really bad. This is a product which requires a little dedication, using it every now and then doesn't really seem to work, I'll use it for a week every day before I put my makeup on or just before bed. I use an elemis cleansers and toner as well as their mosturisers, face mask, body products ect.. I'm hooked on elemis, and all the products really do compliment each other! If you have SENSETIVE SKIN elemis is a must! I am one of those people who has tried everything but my skin reacted to them all until elemis, I'm not sure if it is just because the best of things in their products or because they don't really use mineral oils and nasty harsh...
