I had massive troubles with eczema as a little kid right up until now (now I can just manage this better). My poor mum tried everything for me and our doc suggested alpha keri as did the ladies at the pharmacy I worked for. It was really reasonably priced as far other products in the same type of category. The packaging wasnt anything special but was practical for the product and the pump made it easy to get the right amount of product out without wastage. Consistency wise I found it to be a little to on the oily side for me but it was worth continuing if it relieved my ezcema. Unfortunately I had to stop using this product as it aggrevated my ezcema. Among many things in allergic to lanolin is one of them as it turns out so this wasn't for me unfortunately.

Tips: If you're an allergy baby like me check your not allergic to lanolin
Would I use again 2 kisses Did it do as it said 1 kiss (wanted to give 0 kisses) Would I recommend 1 kiss (again wanted to give 0)
During a time when my skin on my legs and torso were very dry and irrated I was told you use this. The doctor suggested it so I thought it would be brilliant.
For my skin it did not help. If anything my skin got worse with a itch. It is meant to not have perfumes and is meant to help with very dry skin. I find it does smell and didn't sooth my skin. I find it is to light a consistency as well.
This lotion is very moisturising and a definite must for really dry skin. It has a very thick consistency which I find that felt skin greasy and shiny which I wasn't a fan of. It did a really good job relieving the skin of feeling itchy due to eczema. The smell is pleasant and not too over powering. Everyone in my family loves this product would definitely buy this again.
My mum originally purchased this for my daughters eczema as she (my mum) said her and her siblings used this all the time and it was and I quote "the best moisturizer ever". I'm no completely sold on this product though, only because the main reason why we purchased this was to help my daughter, but it just didn't do anything for her. It's a great moisturizer though, and we still use it on ourselves. But I'll stick to my trust aveeno for my little girls eczema
Great product for sensitive skin, however Not the best if looking for something to aid eczema. Great for babies and the smell is divine.
I purchased this product after having one of my nursing tutors said what a great product it was and that it is now the most used product in elderly care homes. This moisturiser is super thick and definitely provides moisture for the whole day, also a little bit goes a long way with this product. This product is great for all skin types including sensitive skin.
Tips: When getting near the end of the bottle put a teaspoon of warm water in it and shake the bottle up, it will make the last of the product easier to get out.
Yes my skin is dry and old:( and has had years of sunbathing way back when it was the thing to do and I was good at it. And I've developed over the years a bit of dermatitis as well as my skin is dry and scaly (a little) not like a snake shedding it skin or anything, toss in some age and yep moisture is needed big time.
So this was recommended by a skin specialist and three times a week I use it all over except my face. I don't like the smell of it to me it smells a we bit bitter and an old oil smell (I like my moisturiser to smell nice) I don't like the feel of it it's not greasy or sticky or anything like that but I feel a bit tacky for around fifteen minutes after applying it. It goes white and smeary on me as I rub it in, suppose it's good to see the bits I've missed.
It's wonderful helps with very dry sensitive skin, hydrates it and makes it supple. It helps when my skin is itchy. My skin is not as dry as it used to be, and it can use really lovely lotions and potions most of the time. This product will always be in my bathroom cabinet and I will use it on a regular basis. And when I have the odd flare up and my skin gets mad and sensitive I'll be back into it daily.
A bottle does last quite a while as it does spread around, not quite heavy enough for cracked skin eg heals or thickened skin with chillblanes. It's a very good moisturiser. I now know why they have it in hospitals or around the elderly it's quite soothing.
Tips: Best applied after a shower or bath when the skin is damp.
I really do like this lotion even though it can be too oily if you use to much I found with my dry skin if you do little bits at a time you don't end up using to much making your skin oily. Other than that great product ! Really did help my dry skin
Tips: Be cautious how much you use as it is quite oily :)
This lotion is very thick and I find that you need to use a lot of it on your skin. I love how this feels on my skin and I would compare the texture to a body butter. I love to use this moisturiser on my daughter as well because she has sensitive skin and gets rashes quite a bit. This really helps to prevent her skin from getting worse. I got this lotion to help with the extra dry skin I havr been getting since being pregnant. I was getting eczema like rashes on my thighs and found my smin was always dry. Since using the Alpha Keri Lotion my skin has felt smoother and my eczema has cleared up! I absolutely love how great this lotion is for my skin, but think the price is a bit steep at $16. You can grab this for $8 when Countdown has their onecard sales. Because the bottle is quite small and you need a lot of product to moisturise one area, I think that I will look for another more affordable moisturiser.
I registered just so I could write a review & hopefully find out if others have noticed the same problem with the New lotion formulas. I have used Alpha Keri since I was 16 & I'm 48 next month so I know this product. Last year they changed the formula. They had a lot of bad feedback and reverted back to the old formula. Problem is, the newly packed bottle with the original formulation claim on the front, is not the same. It is lighter than the original which is quick thick and there is a foul smell. The original had a beautiful aroma to it which I have come to know and love over 30+ years. I hate this new formulation and wondered if others noticed the same. I will be looking for a new product as it is not what they say it is. I will not be buying this again nor will I be recommending it to anyone.
Tips: Don't buy it.
