It is thick and rich but absorbs quickly. My skin is sensitive and my legs often sting after shaving but this immediately soothes my skin. It doesn’t have sexy packaging but it’s fantastic quality and value for money. I love that it is in a tube and not a tub, so I don’t have to dig my fingers in (also more hygienic) and it’s easy to apply. Personally, I like that it is fragrance free Review: Saved my moisture barrier - Turned my ruined skin around. The moisture barrier of my face was in a really bad way earlier this year - stress and irritation had left it very dry in a way that my regular moisturiser couldn't touch, there was a lot of redness and scaliness, my skin was extremely sore, tight and sensitive, and all the damage was leading to inflammatory acne flareups that wouldn't heal. I tried this moisturiser following advice to try a urea-based product. I've been using it every night (too greasy for daytime) for a couple of months and it's entirely healed up I initially found it stung a little due how cracked my skin was, but after a few days that stopped as the skin started to heal. It took a few weeks for the worst red scaly patches to fade but I saw steady improvement from day 1, and my skin now feels much more supple, robust and hydrated. I'm no longer getting severe acne flareups and the scars are very slowly healing. I can't stress enough how much of a lifesaver this has been, and for me the results have been worth the minor downsides: it's very thick and greasy, doesn't have the greatest scent, and if your skin is very damaged/sensitive you might have to endure a few days of mild stinging while everything starts to heal up. It's not at all luxurious or glamorous face cream. But as a good, bland, reasonably occlusive barrier repair cream it's hard to beat and I highly recommend. ## Features - Dermatologist-developed dry skin repair cream: Created by UK consultant dermatologist Dr Andrew Birnie with medical experts to deliver intensive hydration and long-lasting relief for very dry, rough, or irritated skin. - 10% urea for deep moisture and skin renewal: Optimal concentration of urea helps soften rough patches, smooth scaly skin, and improve moisture retention.

I have also noticed that I am have been needing far less steroid cream on my hands since I started using it. **Q: Why add Titanium dioxide to the formulation? This is not a sunscreen, I’ve researched it and can’t understand why it is in there?** A: Titanium dioxide is used in toothpaste also!... it gives the creams their white colouring and works as a thickening agent. That's its only use in this particular formula, only titanium dioxide in high amounts can be classed as a sunscreen! :) **Q: Why is there titanium dioxide in this? its absorption damages cell membranes according to western price's sunscreen post. is it non nano at least?** A: Hi, thank you for your question. Titanium dioxide is an approved UV-filter. Nano technology allows a great cosmetic feel - the feedback has been fantastic. Concerns regarding nanotechnology are because people worry that small particles may pass through the skin. However, on the whole, in sunscreen technology nano actually means big - the nano particles are larger than the other chemical filters that are typically smaller. I hope this helps. **Q: Is this vegan?** A: There is nothing written on the box to say that it is. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic moisturiser *by J***A on 16 August 2025* This is my holy grail moisturiser for dry skin!

I'm 40 with a slightly uneven skin tone and some fine lines and it's only since I've been using just this cream on my face, morning and night (with suncream over it in the mornings), that I've started getting compliments on my skin. A friend said recently, "ooh your skin's looking good! What have you been using?" and I thought really hard about what kind of magical thing I had been doing, but had to admit that it's next-to-nothing - honestly it is just this cream! I'm really pleased with it, it's been a lovely surprise. The price is great and you get loads, it's definitely worth a punt for the price alone, but I don't think you will be disappointed! ## Frequently Bought Together - ALTRUIST.
