“This is a delicious face cream that has a subtle, but pleasant, scent and which leaves the skin lovely and soft to touch afterwards and it keeps that way all day. It was quite thick to apply and you have to rub it in to avoid a white tinge, but it did not leave the skin feeling or looking oily or greasy at any point. The dispenser took some work to get going and it dispenses small doses, so it takes a fair few pumps to get enough for the face. On the plus side, that means that we don't use too much product as it's not cheap. 4.5 stars. We really like this product and would happily recommend it.”

“I'm very impressed with this beautiful moisturiser. The ingredients contain lovely hydrating properties such as shea butter and various oils - it's having great effects on both my partners and my skin. My partner is having drying effects on his skin from intense Chemo and its actually really helping his skin which he just can't put enough moisturiser on usually and has tried every cream going - even Urea 50% but he's very pleased with the results with this one, he's needed to use a lot regularly but he's starting to feel his skin is finally well hydrated and it's looking more glowing and brighter again which is amazing. It has a slight scent but it doesn't bother us. The only downside for us is the £35 price-tag because ideally we'd like to purchase this regularly as it's really helping but as we've already used a third of it just getting my partners skin back to good quality we're not sure we'd be able to afford this as it's a fairly small-sized pump but if it's ever on offer we'll definitely be buying more.”

“A week into using this, I'm finding it's an effective moisturiser that delivers a clear hydration that lasts the day. Nice to know it's not full of chemicals, which I guess is the selling point and perhaps the reason behind the price tag. Currently combining this with Herbal Essentials exfoliator, my skin is looking decidedly better as a result. Scent is fairly minimal and inoffensive, after the initial usage it certainly doesn't persist. So this product doesn't impact on wearing a fragrance. It's not the most spreadable moisturiser, and I've taken to using three of four dabs in different parts of my face (forehead, both cheeks) to ensure full facial coverage, but this isn't a major issue.”

“This small bottle took a lot of pumping before anything came out and when it did I was underwhelmed. In use it is just ok and although I don’t have dry skin it took more than I was expecting to feel refreshed and hydrated. The scent was barely noticeable also, I was expecting better for the money. I’ll keep it in my gym bag for post swim moisturising however I can’t see it lasting long so it works out an expensive purchase.”

“This is beautiful day cream, it goes on so smoothly and makes your skin feel so soft. It is expensive but I think worth it.”

“This has a lovely smell. It really makes my skin feel soft! It is very expensive however the results are spot on. As a trial item to review it has been a lovely treat and I would love it again but long term it seems very pricey. Update: the pump broke quite quickly so had been having to unscrew the top and poke the tube around to get any out. Still lovely stuff just needs a better pump really.”

“This is a nice enough facial moisturiser with some 'natural' ingredients, by which I mean kitchen cupboard ingredients rather than cheap chemicals favoured by big Pharma. It said to be based on 'Himalayan inspired skin care' – apparently this is due to the fact that they use Himalayan spring water – not sure that is going to have a big effect on the end results. It goes on smoothly and blends in nicely. Its key ingredients, after water which is in every emollient, are almond oil, wheat germ oil, shea butter and soybean oil. It also has aloe vera. All sound ingredients for a moisturiser, but now a pricey, so why the exorbitant price of thirty-five quid for 50mL? This range is called Herbal Essentials. So why stick in a sharp synthetic scent? Either don't put perfume it or use something smelling pleasantly natural instead of something that smells like cheap scent. (Aunty B)”

“There is a bare hint of a pleasant smell. I have used this in a morning and having very senstive skin noticed that it didnt affect me in anyway. After a shower I did notice a mild burning but didnt bother me or leave a mark, but not creams do this even the sensitive ones. I noticed that my skin was absorbing this deeply and after 3 days of using this my skin was soft and not as dry looking and did seems plumper. It is non greasy, but feels silky as it drys. Pump can be annoying to us older folk that sometime can not grip well. Lovely product and I can feel the benfits on my skin.”
