Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream - At last a product i Like

Advantages: A little goes a long way, has improved my skins appearance
Disadvantages: Probably a little pricey

...Finally, oh finally, after years of trying this and trying that, i have found a face moisturiser that i love. I was sent this product to trial for one month, to be used twice daily, morning and night. I received a "medium-weight cream that maintains skins moisture balance while improving its texture. Deep-moisturizing Lecithin and Aloe Gel nourish while extracts of Mallow, Cucumber and Arnica soothe and hydrate the skin, helping to restore suppleness and tone. Antioxidant Grape Seep Extract plus vitamins A,C and E help sheidl skin from environmental assaults. Contains no artificial fragrance or colour" You only need a small amount as a little goes a long way. On first opening and using i noticed it had a clinical smell. But to me it was not unpleasant and smelt quite expensive. I have very dry skin and this was perfect, not too...

Review of Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream

8 hours to smooth skin!

Advantages: fantastic product, cost effective, versatile, great results
Disadvantages: slightly messy

...comes in a white tube with screw top. The orange colour gel is tacky to touch, but does sink in eventually (so bear with it). I use it on my hands and cuticles and get better results than any hand cream. I've also used it on sunburn, (as long as it's not severe) abrasions (not open wounds) and as an all purpose balm/moisturiser! You can put it over lipstick or make up as a gloss too. My top tip however, is to use it at night, but....If you are trying to impress someone don't go to bed with this on your face as it's not attractive! I use a thin layer on my lips, cheeks, forhead, nose with a thicker layer around my eyes. After leaving this on all night (use an old pillow case in case it rubs off) you wake ip with lines smoothed, skin plumped and rehydrated. I did this on sunburn last year (which calmed it down overnight...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Is it a cream, is it a mousse? No it's skin protectant...

Advantages: Soothes very dry skin
Disadvantages: Can be greasy

...I have to say that I wrote this review just because this product kind of took me by surprise. This was given to me (a trial size) by a friend and I stupidly made the assumption it was a moisturiser. When I looked at the tube it said 'skin protectant' and no more. On further inspection on the back I realised that with a trial size, added to the fact that my friend didn't give me the box, confused me further. I unscrewed the cap from the white tube and squeezed. Not a lot happened so I squeezed again. Slowly a bronzed coloured substance came out that to be honest looked more like lip balm than cream. I then jumped on the internet and found that this product is meant to soothe, restore, calm and help relieve chapped, cracked or dry skin. Soothes roughness, redness and minor skin irritations. I realised that with one of the ingredients...

Dry Skin/Dry Lips - Sort them 18hr miracle cream!

Advantages: Is a multi functional product can be used for various things
Disadvantages: Smell may be off putting for some people

...the colour, it?s a kind of orangey colour which looks more like a thick gel than a cream and has a very distinctive smell. I don?t quite know how you could describe the smell other than quite medicinal, personally I find the smell quite refreshing but I can see how some people may be put off by it so I would strongly suggest you try a small amount of this at an Elizabeth Arden counter before you buy it as it may not be to your taste. The gel feels smooth to the touch and let me tell you a little goes a long way so you only need the tiniest amount. Due to the consistency of the product if you do apply too much it can make skin feel a little bit greasy so always use less than you think and add more on if need be. So I hear you cry what can I use this for? Here are some of the ways this can help you?.. * Used on lips this can help ease dry...

Review - Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant

Advantages: versatile, value for money, lasts 8 hours, nicely designed tube & excellent cream!
Disadvantages: none

...This product is a must have!!It is definately worth the money. It comes in a little tube which can fit into your handbag so you can take it everywhere you go. It can be used for dry skin, eczema, chapped lips, and apparently even helps eyelashes grow. It is used by a lot of celebrities and I decided to try it out about a month ago. I can honestly say that I dont think I can live without it now. I even used it on on a blemish on my face that I had and it has started to fade out. It doesnt smell so great, but you can tell the cream is quality and hasnt got artificial fragrants added to it. You begin to notice the difference from the very first application. It is so versatile and actually lasts the full 8 hours or more. It is absorbed slowly which means once applied to lips as a gloss it lasts and there is no need for reapplication...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

magic cream for spotty skin

Advantages: inexpensive, good for all skin conditions, hypoallergenic
Disadvantages: none

...WHAT IS E45? E45 Dermatological cream is an excellent product if you have dry skin, or eczema like I have. The cream itself is a non greasy emollient cream, which is light and unperfumed, which means that it can be used all over your body including your face. It is hypoallergenic,(which is the key thing, I think) perfume-free, colour-free, non-greasy and non-sticky and easily absorbed. It should be applied to the face and body, rubbed in gently and used daily as required. It contains several active ingredients including White soft paraffin BP 14.5% w/w, Light liquid paraffin ph Eur 12.6% w/w, Hypallergenic Lanolin 1.0% w/w. It says on the back of the tube that E45 products are suitable for dry skin, chapped skin, sunburn, itchy Skin , flaky skin, and detergent hands (good excuse not to wash up, I always say!) Also...

Review of E45 Problem Skin Cream

SMOOth as a baby's bum

Advantages: Can be applied to the chamois pad or the skin, lightly perfumed, mulitple uses
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...What is Udderly Smooth Udderly Smooth (?US?) chamois pad cream is a protective cream that was specifically designed to prevent saddle soreness for cyclists. By creating a barrier between the skin and the chamois pad (as well as the rest of the shorts) this product allows cyclists to be in the saddle longer and consequently travel further and faster in more comfort. For those of you that are unsure, the chamois pad is the nappy like padding in the crotch and backside area of padded cycling shorts. Looks, consistency and smell US looks like any typical body lotion/skin cream and is white in colour, although I should point out it is much thicker than a moisturiser. Given US acts as a barrier it needs to be so this is not unexpected. US is not strong smelling or perfumed. There is a slight smell but then you will...

Review of Udderly Smooth Chamois Cream

The no nonsense smooth skin shaving cream

Advantages: Smooth burn free skin.
Disadvantages: None that I have found.

...This product is trully one of Lush's gems. Its the best shaving product both my husband and I have ever used. It is equally as effective on any part of the body. The secret with Prince shaving cream is to apply it to dry skin, you don't need much, just enough to give your skin the feeling of being lubricated. It works best on dry skin because it really gets to work lubricating the skin, and water will slightly repel it and stop it from doing its magic. So once you have smoothed a little onto your skin try to shave with nice long strokes, the longer the better. If you continually scrape with little jerky movements your taking more skin off and not taking the hair off effectively. The longer the strokes of your razor are the more hair you can get off with less strokes. The oils in Prince have excellent calming properties and help...

Review of Lush Prince Shaving Cream

DermaNova Active Care Skin Cream

Advantages: It works. Natural ingredients. Steroid-free. Coal tar-free. Paraben-free. Non-greasy. Creamy.
Disadvantages: Slight fishy smell. £19 for 50ml (but worth it!)

...more to do with the delay than anything else. Anyway, the first thought I had when I received my sample was that the 5ml sachet they sent me wasn't much to test it with. I was wrong. I have a reoccuring patch of eczema on my arm and the cream magically took care of it less than an hour! It was incredible. It was like I'd never had it. The cream is just so lovely on your skin as well. It is quickly absorbed so you aren't left with that horrible greasiness that you get from most other treatment creams. Believe me, I've tried them all over the years. DermaNova has a delicious creamy feel to it that leaves your skin extremely soft and condition-free. That's my experience. If you have eczema or psoriasis then sadly it is never going to go away for good. For whatever reason, it always come back. The best you can do is control it and for that I...

Review of Dermanova Skin Care Cream

Estee Lauder. Such lovely smooth skin!

Advantages: Really hydrates the skin, feels nice, has an spf
Disadvantages: A bit pricey!

...I bought this cream at the duty free shop at the airport because I had forgotten to take moisturiser with me on holiday. I picked it out because I have used and like Estee Lauder products in the past and I have to say I feel completely the same about this one! I sometimes get dry skin and this cream is absolutely wonderful. It is especially good with all the cold weather we've been having recently! The cream itself is really thick, which I really like in a moisturiser as I feel like it is really doing something to my skin. It is really easy to apply and quickly absorbs in to the skin and leaves no oily residue. My skin feels really hydrated after I have used it and it really seems to help with the dry skin I get. It is also anti-wrinkle cream which is a plus too! The moisturiser is meant to reduce lines and wrinkles, which...
