Lush Dream Cream Review

This cream really is dreamy! The first thing I noticed when opening the pot was the heady smell of lavender. Pure lavender, not granny lavender. The type of lavender that lures you into a deep peaceful sleep (well if you're lucky when it comes to sleep, unlike me!)

It's a thick white cream but is easy to apply. It feels soothing when you put it on and doesn't feel like it irritates at all. This would be great for sensitive and eczema prone skin. It certainly didn't upset mine. It leaves a smooth coating on the skin without stickiness.

I got a small tub of this is in a gift box but I would definitely buy it again in the large tub. Yes it's pricey for a body lotion but feels luxurious enough to match its price tag.

I love body lotions and I'm quite particular about the ones I use so when I received this as a gift I was hesitant. I've only used this on my arms and legs because I'm not a hand cream person but I can confirm that I won't be repurchasing this.

The product itself feels lovely on the skin and leaves it feeling moisturised but with a name like "Dream Cream" I was expecting some sort of WOW factor. I was disappointed to discover there is no amazing fragrance. Upon opening the small tub I couldn't detect much of anything until my nose was up against the product and I could smell lavender which I find delicious!!

It has a semi-thick consistency that is easily spread and I liked that it didn't leave a greasy feeling behind. However if you're a little too enthusiastic with the application it won't be hard to end up a walking grease ball - so little by little lovelies.

The product leaves my skin feeling moisturised for a good few hours but I noticed that a few minutes after application when I run my hand over the area it doesn't feel smooth. I feel that my palm pulls/tugs at the skin which is unusual because I don't have this issue with my favourite body lotions.

That minor issue is not a deal breaker for me however the scent definitely is!? I love the smell of lavender but it seems to be mixed with a somewhat herbal scent which makes my nose wrinkle. I don't want my skin smelling like this so I'm lucky I received the 45g tub so it's a manageable size for me to finish and finish quickly.

Dream Cream is an absolutely beautiful body moisturizer that is perfect for the skin on my legs after shaving. It is the only moisturizer I can apply after shaving my legs that doesn't irritate them and give me a rash...attractive, I know.

The texture is creamy but as I am used to using Body Butter from The Body Shop I don't find it to be too heavy. That being said, it does a wonderful job of adding moisture to my skin which lasts about 12 hours.

When I first sniffed it, I really didn't appreciate the smell, but now it is one of my faves. There's just something so comforting about it, and sometimes I'll open up the tub just to give it a sniff.

I also love that when you return five empty black pots back to LUSH you get a free Fresh Face Mask-Bonus!

I recently got a tub of this as part of a lush gift pack. I'd never bought it in the past because my skin can be a little sensitive to tea tree (which is in this product), but after doing a little patch test and finding no irritation I started trying it out on different things. This is the most amazing products I've ever tried. It soothes burns, helps calm down my horrible itchy hives that I get from mosquito bites, soothes shaving rash (and pretty much makes it disappear overnight) and even helped soothe my horrible acne breakouts. As soon as I applied the cream my skin felt instantly soothed, it helped with redness and my skin felt less irritated.This is a real all rounder, and the best thing is you only need a teeny little bit. It sinks in quickly and has an unoffensive herby smell. I love this cream and will definitely be buying another tub once I've made my way through this one!

The LUSH Dream Cream is such a fabulous all rounder.

The product comes in a typical LUSH tub, it is gloriously thick and goes a really long way.

I LOVE using it after shaving my legs, it is really soothing on my sensitive skin. It absorbs easily but really delivers a moisturising punch. It is a cream not a lotion and it lives up to that idea. I often don't moisturise because I hate any 'greasy' feeling, you don't get any of that with this product.

It doesn't have a fragrance but you can faintly smell some of the natural ingredients, only very subtly though!

I use this everywhere, I've even used it on my face but it is a little heavy for me, if you had dry or dehydrated skin though I think it would be fab!

It is a little pricey but I promise it lasts a really long time!

Now I love a good lush product but the one obvious flaw is the price. Now I received a tub of this as a gift and I would not have purchased this otherwise as I simply cannot justify paying more than $15 for a hand cream. Now I understand Lush is all about the natural ingredients and using recyclable packaging which I think is great and completely support but unfortunately I don't think this product is one of their best. It is very thick in consistency and doesn't really mosturize for a long period of time. Also I am not really a fan of the scent and personally don't understand the hype.

It is just a bit overrated for me

I use Lush products because I like thier ethics. This cream is one of my regular purchases from thier shop. It's thick and creamy and soaks into my skin easily after a shower. The best things is it smells amazing and is all natural.

I have super sensitive skin. Typically after I shave my legs, I can't use any moisturizer on them until the next day otherwise I get little red stinging bumps all over them. I tried Dream Cream because it sounded really gentle and soothing, and it really was. It doesn't upset my skin at all and leaves it smooth and silky feeling. 100% recommend for sensitive skin. The only downside for me is the price!

I got a sample of this from lush to try out on my eczema because i had heard really good things. It stung really bad didn't absorb very well and overall didn't work for me.
