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.
I've religiously been using this lovely cream on my upper body and hands. It feels great, especially applied in the evenings...waking up to soft skin always feels fantastic!
I have also used it as my moisturiser on my face twice a week, instead of my regular moisturiser..it feels nice..non-greasy..and not too heavy. My only concern is I have read that lanolin-based products are non comedogenic, so am not keen to use as a night cream on my face. The last thing I want is clogged pores lol..I already have a few around my nose, so I'm careful.
Will definitely continue to use on my hands, neck and decolletage in the evenings.
It would make a great moisturiser for my male friends, so I would recommend to them, and also anybody who has really dry skin. Am sure it would help with conditions like excema too.
The packaging disappoints though (its just so old-fashioned, and looks like any other lanolin based product), otherwise it would make a great christmas gift.
Tips: Slather on backs of hands, arms, and decolletage at night...wake up to the super smoothies!!!
Would be nice on feet as well if it came in larger size.
