Alpine Silk Lanolin Everyday Moisture Crème Reviews

The screen smelt lovely, felt amazing (The texture was thick and creamy) and moisturised my skin very well. The only problem I had was that while it said it was a face and body cream it definitely is not a facecream for me. My skin is quite oily even in winter. This cream was too thick for my skin even when I used a minimal amount . It caused me to break out and left my skin more oily then it has been awhile. I had a shiny sheen to my skin within half an hour of putting it on my face. But it was great for my body I would use it on my arms and legs and body again, just not my face. So I recommend this cream but only as a body cream.

I've been really enjoying using this as my night cream. It soaks into the skin and doesn't leave it feeling greasy. It is a rich and hydrating face cream that left my skin feeling soft and nourished.

This moisture creme does exactly what it says it will do. It's smooth and makes your skin softer and feel more hydrated after a few days use. It has a lovely scent to it, and is a real 'kiwi' product. Personally, it was quite thick for my liking and for this reason alone I wouldn't use it again as I prefer something lighter, that sinks in straight away. But, if you're skin's on the drier side and you like to lather moisturiser on regularly to combat that, this may just be the product for you!

I have to admit if i saw this in a shop it wouldn't be the first product to draw my eye - a sheep on the box is not the way to draw me in! But this cream is actually a really lovely moisturizer. I confess to having just tried it as a body creme, and not on the face and neck as suggested also. It is a relatively rich creme but easily absorbed and has quite a pleasant scent. The screw top jar is plastic and comes in a box - quite a bit of packaging. Upon unscrewing the jar there is another plastic lid that you have to lift up to access the cream. This is quite fiddly and messy to get it up, but I guess it prevents the cream from leaking from the jar. Overall a nice cream but probably not one I would rush out to buy again.

I received the collagen version of this review and I was really excited to try it as I have never used this brand before.

My expectation was that it was going to be thicker moisturiser then what it was. It's not runny but also not that really thick, luxurious texture some moisturisers are at that price point. It's easy to apply and did soak into the skin nicely and did not leave any residue or oiliness.

One thing to consider is that it is very fragrant. If you are at all sensitive to products with a stong fragrance then I would recommend staying away from this one. The smell is floral without being an old lady scent.

The packaging was not to my liking as I am not a fan of having a sheep on my skincare. The packaging is not the type that you would display on your dresser and in fact, mine now lives in my bedside drawer.

A week is too early tell if the product really helps with moister and skin softness but I am going to continue to try it out.

This is the product to get for that overseas friend as it just screams New Zealand. This is not a product I would ever normally pick up as lanolin isn't something I am drawn too nor is sheep which features on the packaging. Once I got past the sheep looking at me I realized that this is actually a pretty great product. The sheep still puts me off a little though.

This cream is made in New Zealand and uses organic lanolin as well as collagen and vitamin E. It has quite a perfumy scent which once I got used to was quite pleasant when used as a body cream. I didn't feel the need for extra perfume on days that I used this cream.

It absorbed well and left my skin feeling really soft. Even quite a few hours later my skin was feeling way softer than normal. I have been applying this regularly after showering to my body and have noticed a positive difference.

It says on the packaging that it can be applied to the face. I have done this once as I felt that it would be unfair to fully review this product without using this cream as a facial product. The second main ingredient is Paraffinum Liquidum which from my knowledge is a type of mineral oil. Although I don't have acne anymore I did suffer from it in a severe way until I had strong medication to cure it so I have always avoided mineral oil on my face because of this reason I will not use this product on my face again. I also found the fragrance to be too strong for facial use. People with dry skin and normal skin types will likely find this product great for facial use.

Overall this is a great cream to use on my body. The fragrance lasted for quite some time and my skin felt really soft for ages after application. I would recommend this to other people as a body cream but not as a facial cream.

Faintly “wet school jumper” in scent, and cold cream-like in texture, this Alpine Silk Lanolin Everyday Moisture Creme is something you buy at the airport to get change from a twenty. It is moderately priced and durable in its white plastic tub. A little goes a long way and, like the plastic packaging, it will still be around in years to come. Your nana has it on her nightstand. It has a pharmaceutical look to it. This is essentially a cold cream- named for the cool slap feel on the cheek. Mrs Doubtfire could use it as a disguise. Like the senior nanny, this creme will serve you well but it isn’t glamorous.

I will begin with packaging, the cream comes in a tub which I quite like with a face cream. The graphics, however, are very "I picked this up at the Agrodome souvenir shop" and not typical of what I would look for in a staple face cream. I get the feeling they are trying to appeal to the overseas/tourist market (which is fine).

This face cream is of medium consistency. As I have dry skin, I usually opt for a thicker face cream, however this wasn't too thin. It absorbed into my skin quite nicely, however I didn't have as long lasting hydration as I would like, when applied at night my skin felt tight by morning (this probably wouldn't be as much of an issue for those who don't have dry skin). What really put me off this product though was the heavy scent (quite floral, rosy?), which is something I tend to stay away from in face products.

As with the hand cream, this is not the kind of product I would purchase for myself but perhaps as a gift for an overseas friend (providing I knew they didn't mind heavy scents).

I loved the smell of this and usually I don't enjoyed fragranced moisturisers. This smelt refreshing and a bit floral to me, but not too overpowering. The creme was thick and I used my finger to get it from the pottle and apply. Unfortunately straight away I could tell it wasn't very moistening for me despite the thick and creamy texture. I actually felt like I needed to apply my own moisteriser straight away.
