Alpine Silk Nourishing Collagen Crème with Organic Lanolin

Alpine Silk Nourishing Collagen cream with Organic Lanolin had some bold claims. Boost softness, firm skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Granted I only trialled this product for about 2 weeks, but to be honest I didn't really notice a stark difference with how my skin looked.

First thing off the bat, the fragrance apparently wasn't typically what lanolin smelt like (according to my partner who has used lanolin cream in the past). It definitely had some some sort of fragrance to it - I would probably described it almost as an old fashioned scent - can't quite put my finger on it. It has quite a thick consistency as well so I would definitely recommend to use it sparingly on the face.

I definitely did find that after using it my skin was a lot softer but I didn't find it to diminish my fine lines or make my skin look firmer than usual.

The other thing that I did notice that wearing it in the daytime it did effect the longevity of my foundation, so I ended up just using it as part of my night time routine instead.

I think maybe it might be better suited to be a cream to be used on the body as opposed to the face, which I think is what I will repurpose it as, but for the face, it just wasn't for me unfortunately.

The creme came in a very touristy-looking container with a photo of a sheep on it. It looks like something you would pick up in a souvenir shop. It has a pleasant but overpowering floral scent more suited to a body lotion. I prefer lightly scented products on my face. I tried the creme on my face and on my body. It is thick and slightly greasy feeling. It soaked into my skin fairly quickly and my skin felt soft to the touch. I didn't notice any difference in the overall appearance of my facial skin. I think it is better suited as a body lotion and I wouldn't purchase it if there were other options available.

The packaging is pure New Zealand with the mountain ranges and sheep. Not something I would pick up from a shelf but still appealing.

The product has a strong perfume smell which I did not like and could smell on my skin for a while after applying. The cream itself is nice too apply but it was quite greasy on my skin.

Within one day of using the product my cheeks and chin were red which didn't disappear. I used it for 5 days but ended up going back to my normal moisturizer and within two days my cheek and chin were back to normal.

This creme has a thick but not greasy texture on the skin. I didn’t use it on my face as it is highly perfumed. Used on my arms and legs and found it to be very hydrating as my skin tends to be a bit dry. It does smell nice but it could be a little overpowering to some. I would recommend using on dry legs and arms and during summer especially.

I was very luck to participate in the trial for Alpine Silk Nourishing Collagen Crème with Organic Lanolin. Thank you BR.

Alpine Silk Nourishing Collagen Crème with Organic Lanolin comes in a small box decorated in NZ Landscape with a sheep. Inside the box is a 100g pottle, where the packaging theme has continued. The pottle has a screw top lid.

Seeing this packaging on a shelf, would not draw me in to purchase.

Alpine Silk Nourishing Collagen Crème with Organic Lanolin is a white creme which is thick in consistency and has a light fragrance which is not unpleasant.

When applying a small amount of the Alpine Silk to my face, I gently rubbed in until absorbed. I found the creme too thick for my face, so I tried it on my hands, arms and legs instead.

My skin feels super silky, and I no longer have dry elbows. You do not need to reapply during the day.

Right off the bat the packaging looks a bit hohum. I get that lanolin comes from sheep but it reminds me of a “tourist” type product. Then when I see it’s a pot. I’m not the biggest fan of a pot where you are putting your fingers in to get the product. I don’t have grubby fingers or anything I just think it’s an efficient way of dispensing a creme. I think it means that the amount you use every time is inconsistent. The cream itself was nice to the touch but I found the granite be overpowering and after using on my face I got a bit of headache. I continued to use it to give it a fair shot but I really don’t think there was any improvements to my fine lines and wrinkle. It did what it said in terms of hydration but it could have been any run of the mill moisturiser. It would last quite a while as you definitely don’t need to use much. Unfortunately not a product I would continue to purchase.

This cream comes in a white pottle - lanolin is clearly the selling point because there's a big sheep on the packaging! I used this cream in the evening after serum. I have skin that tends on the dry side and so I really wanted to like this cream and it's promise to boost skin softness and hydration as well as reduce signs of aging. However, I really didn't. The biggest drawback is the fragrance - this cream is heavily fragranced. I really didn't enjoy the fragrance - it reminded me of a drawer full of nana's creams in the 1990s. The cream does feel quite nourishing when you put it on - it's quite thick. Without the fragrance, I think it could be a good night cream.

I really wanted to love this one. The claims are fantastic and I've long respected and rated lanolin as an ingredient. Unfortunately the perfume is overpowering not only in the tub, but also on the skin - and the smell lasts. If you like a very strong floral scent applied to your face then you won't have any problems with this. The cream itself is smooth, almost gel-like and while it does have lanolin in it, it isn't heavy at all.

im thankful i was picked for the recent trail team for this product. i do love trying new things, with having sensitive skin its great to find products that work that i wouldn't normally look at. the packaging is nice, round flat jar and a very good size at 100grams. the creme itself is on the thicker side, but still easy to spread. after using it for a few days/week my skin does feel nicer, it does feel like its smoother and softer.. but i personally wouldn't us it again though, i really couldn't get past the smell. i think if you liked the smell this would be an amazing product to try out! and at only around $15 great bargain price too!

As I opened this Lanolin enriched cream, its fragrance immediately reminds of similar cream that my grandma used to apply to her face and body. It is such a good fragrance and one that helps enhance softness of the skin, however it is dense and too creamy for my combination skin. I could use it only for 3 days on my face in my nighttime skin routine before I slept and it caused breakouts on my cheeks and forehead. Thats because it is too dense for me and not for my skin.

I continued its super use on my hands and arms. Feels so soft and smooth. It is definitely for super dry to dry skin.

I had to discontinue its use on my face but using on hands, feet and arms is superb.

I would recommend to my mum, as she has dry skin. But this one is not for my face.
