Alpine Silk Lanolin Everyday Moisture Crème Reviews

I received this as part of a trial team and was at first surprised by the size of the tub. I thought this was a body creme and expected a much bigger tub. However, this is also meant to be a face moisturiser and the package size reflects this. I tried it for both face and body and for me it was too rich as a face creme. I enjoyed using it as body moisturiser, with its nice thick texture and pleasant smell. I had not used a product with lanolin before, but I would definitely use one again now that I have tried this. I was a bit worried about the smell, given the sheep on the picture, but the smell of this creme is very subtle and nice. I did not enjoy this creme as much as the matching hand and nail creme, but I would definitely buy it as gift/souvenir for friends and family overseas.

I had zero expectations about this product, just because I’d never heard of or seen it before. I have been so pleasantly surprised with how good it is! I’ve only used it on my face, as I didn’t want to waste it, and it’s moisturising without being oily and lasts all day. Without a lie, possibly the best face moisturiser I’ve ever tried.

I was feeling a little unsure about using this product as I had used the hand cream in the same range and didn't like it. First up the packaging is a decent size, comes in a plastic jar and the label is a printed sticker with sheep on it which seemed a bit touristy to me. It has a light powdery floral fragrance to it which is not at all unpleasant or overpowering. It has an almost heavy whipped cream consistency and applies beautifully! The cream absorbs into my skin and does not leave any oily residue or greasiness. This cream is super hydrating and my skin stays soft and smooth for well into 20 hours after applying, I also noticed after about a week that the small fine lines around my decolletage were significantly less noticeable, the collagen in it perhaps? I was not brave enough to use it on my face as I can break out easily but if you have normal to dry skin it would be worth a try... Overall I was impressed and will be keeping this as a staple in my skincare routine!

I was lucky enough to be selected by BR to review this product. I am really into skincare, and I have a particular soft spot for NZ made products.This product comes in a large (for a day cream) pot that has a wide opening which enables easy access to the product. I used this product on my face, neck and chest and it was easy to apply. A small amount goes a long way. The scent of this cream is really nice and I looked forward to putting it on. The cream is quite thick and luxurious and feels very moisturising. It does sink into the skin well and didn't leave any residue on my face. My skin is combination but sensitive and it tolerated this product well. Sometimes I can have a bit of a transition period when I change skincare but that didn't happen with this product. This is a lovely product to use and I will be repurchasing and recommending it to others!

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.

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).

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 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.

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.
