Alpine Silk Lanolin Everyday Moisture Crème Reviews

This moisture creme does exactly what it says it will do. It's smooth and makes your skin softer and feel more hydrated after a few days use. It has a lovely scent to it, and is a real 'kiwi' product. Personally, it was quite thick for my liking and for this reason alone I wouldn't use it again as I prefer something lighter, that sinks in straight away. But, if you're skin's on the drier side and you like to lather moisturiser on regularly to combat that, this may just be the product for you!

I've been really enjoying using this as my night cream. It soaks into the skin and doesn't leave it feeling greasy. It is a rich and hydrating face cream that left my skin feeling soft and nourished.

The screen smelt lovely, felt amazing (The texture was thick and creamy) and moisturised my skin very well. The only problem I had was that while it said it was a face and body cream it definitely is not a facecream for me. My skin is quite oily even in winter. This cream was too thick for my skin even when I used a minimal amount . It caused me to break out and left my skin more oily then it has been awhile. I had a shiny sheen to my skin within half an hour of putting it on my face. But it was great for my body I would use it on my arms and legs and body again, just not my face. So I recommend this cream but only as a body cream.

Alpine Silk's Lanolin Everyday Moisture Creme is marketed as an all-over body cream so as such I decided to use it both as a facial and body moisturiser. My findings?

Firstly, I have usually have combination skin. This winter it has been a lot more normal-dry and I have been seeking extra hydration from my facial products. I thought this sounded like a good option as with the inclusion of lanolin oil it was bound to bring the moisture. The smell was nice and subtle, a light fragrance but unobtrusive. The formula was a cream that was fairly moderate in thickness, similar to many night moisturisers that I have used before. It applies and absorbs easily both on my face and body. Afterwards my skin did feel supple and moisturised, so it did the job.

Would I use it again? Not as a facial moisturiser myself. I haven't particularly enjoyed the feel of it on my face as much as others I have tried and I'm pretty sure it's just a dislike of the lanolin, which unfortunately is the star ingredient in the product. I have however really liked it as a body moisturiser, I apply it after I shower and it's been helping keep my dry winter skin feeling soft.

Overall I probably wouldn't repurchase this for myself as I normally go for a more scented body moisturiser, but I will continue using it as a body moisturiser and I would recommend it to others looking for a moisturiser for sensitive skin or for children as I think it is quite a gentle product.

In love with this. Super velvet and creamy feel to it which stays on the skin giving a boost of hydration and softness/smoothness, without leaving a greasy finish. Great tub for packaging and easy to use. You do not need a lot of product as it is quite rich and spread well over the skin. A small amount leaves you feeling hydrated and smooth too.

I love the sheep logo, I love that it’s nz made! It works with leaving my skin not dry, but it leaves a filmy feeling. My partner will use this more than me. I feel the logo makes it look like it belongs on a souvenir shop... but great product

I was really excited to try this moisture creme as I love that it is organic and has lanolin and collagen as ingredients. Unfortunately it really isn't the one for me.

I used the creme on both my face and my legs. I found it to be very thick with an intense floral fragrance, so I won't be using it on my face again. If it is a scent you like i'm sure it would be okay, but just not for me.

I have quite sensitive skin on my face and I didn't like how thick it was. I suppose it could be quite good as a night cream, but I found it left my face oily and feeling a bit gluggy.

It was quite good on my legs and this is what I will use it for to use up the pottle. Because of its thickness a little does go a long way which is great in the long run.

I think the thing that has put me off the most with this creme is the packaging. I feel like it is something you would find overpriced in a tourist shop. I think its the sheep more than anything, but I can't seem to get past it. I think its just the general idea that tourist products are cheap and poor quality that is really holding me back.

The moisture creme was okay, and I will continue to use it until the pottle is empty, but I won't use it on my face again and wont be purchasing sadly.

This is almost like a barrier cream - it's very thick and rich. Cooling to the touch.

I liked the floral fragrance.

I found this wonderfully hydrating on my face, but do think it more suited to the body, especially on skin younger than mine, on which it may be too heavy.

This left skin very soft and moisturised.

The packaging is a bit tourist shop like, but otherwise, no complaints.

Having heard so often just how soft the lanolin in sheep wool makes the shearers' hands, I was keen to try the effects of this cream on octogenarian skin - having been delighted to find it in the Beauty Vault. Yes, the packaging certainly screams "Tourist Souvenir Shop" so I guess I would have been unlikely to come across it now that I rarely travel around this lovely country any more - so "thank you. Beauty Review". I actually found it a bit too heavy for my face but it is lovely for my hands and arms - can't hope for it to eliminate the various wrinkles but the skin certainly feels much softer and better nourished. I will return to a lighter face moisturiser though.

I first tried this years ago when it was sold in a coffee shop in Ashburton, and I used to buy it when we were driving through. And I still love it.

It comes in a cute twist top pot, very simple and straight forward. It is a very thick white cream, and we all know I love thick creamy moisturisers! I can't detect any scent.

It is slow to absorb on my face, which is not completely ideal, but it does absorb eventually and leaves my skin feeling very soft and peachy.

When I've finished massaging my face with it, I always massage a small amount into my hands. It is amazing. My hands are dry from the relentless handwashing at work every day, and this cream is fabulous at hydrating them. It is a decent sized pot for $25, so it is not too expensive to be used for a hand cream.

I highly recommend it for hands and face, and probably feet (though I haven't tried it on my own feet!).
