This cream comes in a nice blue tub with a screw top. It’s quite simple and minimalistic. The cream has a fragrance which to me is unpleasant. Although it claims to have 99% natural ingredients with the remaining there for stability and safety, some of the ingredients in the remaining 1% as listed on the packaging are ingredients I recognise as fragrance: limonene and citronellol for example. I know fragrance is not necessarily bad, but it can cause reaction in some people. Also, the whole ‘natural is better’ philosophy when it comes to skincare I don’t necessarily agree with. Not all non-natural ingredients are bad, in fact some are the most gentle and safe ingredients you can get. Conversely, some natural ingredients can be quite irritating. Anyway, I didn’t love the smell and it caused me a reaction on my face. My skin became red and textured and I had to stop using it. I’m not sure what ingredient or ingredients caused it. It may have been the fragrance, one of the oils or the fatty alcohols. I have however been using it up on my feet, knees and elbows where it is doing quite a good job.

I was very excited to be on the trial team for this product as I’m a dry and itchy skin sufferer especially in the Winter months. The weather is getting colder no so the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. I really enjoy the packaging which is a cute round tub which is easy to open with its screw top lid. The product I would say is a thicker cream consistency rather than a balm. A balm to me is something thick and oily and sits on top of the skin, more of an occlusive. This is definitely a cream. It’s white in colour and has a gentle pleasant fragrance. It absorbs well and doesn’t feel greasy at all. I have been using it after my shower while my skin is damp, on drier areas such as my elbows, knees and these dry flaky patches I get on my hips from my heavy work belt rubbing on that area. I feel the product does it’s job, as I don’t feel dry or itchy between showers. I would buy this again for sure.

I was happy to trial this product as I get very itchy and dry skin, especially in Winter, and coming into colder weather now the timing is perfect. The packaging is a nice, sturdy tube that retains its shape. It has a screw on cap with a wider top, so it can be stood on its end. The cream is a thinner consistency which spreads easily over my damp skin after having a shower and absorbs very well. It has a fragrance, but it’s pleasant and mild. It sinks in pretty quickly and doesn’t feel heavy or sticky on the skin. I do feel that it keeps my skin very moisturised and I don’t need to reapply it between showers. I certainly don’t get dry and itchy while using it, which is what the product claims to prevent. I would definitely buy this again. I have used Jergens products for years and I like and trust the brand.

So this is supposed to be a chypre type fragrance, which I have not tried before. I have tried the regular white musk from body shop, which I don't mind. This one is very interesting, it's a little floral, a little musky, a little spicy, with something deeper and earthy in the base which I think might be the moss. It's a nice fragrance, but it is not terribly long lasting, especially when I compare it to the body shop fragrances I have. It's no problem to respire it during the day if needed, but I never remember to. I like it, but I don't think it will be one of my favourites.

This was one of my rewards room purchases. I own another one of the fragrances of the world perfumes already, which I really love. Firstly, the bottles are so pretty, square, clear glass, with a wooden look lid. The fragrance itself is a fresh, white floral with a bit of spiciness to it. On first spray I could definitely get jasmine and some other white flowers (possibly the tiare and kahaia) but I also got a bit of pepper. It has a nice vanilla and amber in the base. This fragrance is quite long lasting, I could still smell it at the end of my work day, although the flowers fade into more of the vanilla sweetness. It did last even longer on my clothing, and when I put my jacket back on after work I got the flowers back again from my collar. This will be a great spring and summer fragrance because of the white flowers.

I received a sample of this with my rewards room purchase. I really like this hand cream. It is very hydrating and seems to last on the skin, as it forms a nice protective barrier. This is great for me as I have very dry, horrible looking hands and always have to wash them at work. I will definitely purchase this as it is actually one of the best I have tried. I like that it claims to have anti-ageing benefits, which I need for my old lady hands.

I received a sample of this with my rewards room purchase. I have been using it for several days now as the last step in my morning routine. I like that it has spf, although it is only 15. I do prefer however to have my facial sunscreen as a separate product I put on as the last step. The think I do not really like about this product, as with other Olay facial products is that it is heavily fragranced. I understand they have done this for a long time, and it makes the product appealing in some way, but I just don't see the need for fragrance to be in skincare. This product does make my skin feel nice, hydrated and plump, but I will not purchase it.

I received a sample of this with my rewards room purchase. I think of Olay as a trusted brand that has been around for a long time. I have used many of their products in the past. This cream seems like a nice moisturiser, and I have been using it at night as part of my regular routine. My main problem with it however is the fragrance. It's not a bad fragrance, it's quite pleasant but lately I do not like putting fragranced products on my face. I just don't think they need to be there. For this reason I would not buy this.

This is a great foot cream if you want a specific moisturising foot product to help heal rough and dry feet, which I am prone to getting. It is affordable and readily available. It has a pleasant and not too strong scent. It is nice and thick, and leaves a protective film on the feet. I would definitely repurchase this.

I use this on my body rather than my face. It is an easy to apply sunscreen which dries matte. I love that it is spf50, and when I have used it I have found it does it's job. It does however have a strong fragrance which I do not love. I would probably try some other sunscreens before coming back to this, but I would give it another shot.
