Lush Dream Cream Review

This cream comes in Lush’s instantly recognisable black pot, and was in the I’ll Be Home For Christmas pack I bought from Lush at New year.

It is a moderately thick white cream, which is very silky to touch.

It has a very strong lavender aroma.

It claims to be a soothing and cooling cream designed to go on the most sensitive and easily upset skins. It is certainly soothing and cooling, but my skin is normal/dry on my hands, feet, and legs where I’ve been using the cream, so I can’t comment on its usefulness for sensitive skin.It absorbs very quickly and leaves a silky soft feel behind it.

The strong lavender scent is relaxing, but maybe too strong for anyone who doesn’t like lavender!

I like this product very much and I recommend this to others, and would suggest it as a good starter product for young girls. At the price, it’s a great gift and would make a fab stocking filler. I can’t wait to try the other products in the range.

If you know Lush products you will know their basic black pot that they use for their gorgeous creams. I love the fact that there is a sticker on your pot telling you who made yoyr product and when to use it by, how cool is that?

This cream is a lovely whiteish colour and has an amazing aroma of lavender. Lavender's scent can have a soothing effect on its own, but mixed with other ingredients like olive oil, cocoa butter, chamomile and oat milk your dry,chapped or sore skin will thank you.

You smooth this cream on and almost instantly you start feeling better, more moisturised and nourished.

As a little goes a long way this pot of dry skin relief will last you ages, and your dry skin will thank you.

This comes in Lush's signature black containers which I really quite like - they easy to handle and get in to.

The product itself seemed a bit thin when I first used it and I wasn't sure it would be at all moisturising for my dry legs but it really was. You don't need to use handfuls of it either. It glides on very well and is a little wee bit oily but doesn't take too long to absorb. The only thing I'm not 100% sold on is the smell. I see a lot of other people mentioned the lavender smell, but for me it was the oats. But the smell doesn't linger at all so I can live with this. I would repurchase this product!

This is by far my favourite Lush moisturiser. It smells really lovely but isn't over powering. It's light and creamy, not so thick that it's difficult to apply over a large area. But it is priced like most Lush products and therefore not a super affordable moisturising option if you were using everyday. Best kept for a treat!

I was recommended Lush Dream Cream when my hands were reacting to something in the humid Japanese summer. I was told it was the best product for sensitive skin.

That may be true, but - probably because of that - it seemed to lack anything special. There was no scent to speak of and I didn't notice my skin being overly moisturised by it.

On the plus side it rubbed in well and the lack of fragrance means it doesn't clash with your perfume.

If you have sensitive skin give it a shot, but I won't be buying it again at that price.

Now I love a good lush product but the one obvious flaw is the price. Now I received a tub of this as a gift and I would not have purchased this otherwise as I simply cannot justify paying more than $15 for a hand cream. Now I understand Lush is all about the natural ingredients and using recyclable packaging which I think is great and completely support but unfortunately I don't think this product is one of their best. It is very thick in consistency and doesn't really mosturize for a long period of time. Also I am not really a fan of the scent and personally don't understand the hype.

It is just a bit overrated for me

I do like this product and I think yes it does what it say it will. But for the price, the size and the amount you have to use each time, completely not worth it! I would go through this so fast moisturizing my whole body!

I love body lotions and I'm quite particular about the ones I use so when I received this as a gift I was hesitant. I've only used this on my arms and legs because I'm not a hand cream person but I can confirm that I won't be repurchasing this.

The product itself feels lovely on the skin and leaves it feeling moisturised but with a name like "Dream Cream" I was expecting some sort of WOW factor. I was disappointed to discover there is no amazing fragrance. Upon opening the small tub I couldn't detect much of anything until my nose was up against the product and I could smell lavender which I find delicious!!

It has a semi-thick consistency that is easily spread and I liked that it didn't leave a greasy feeling behind. However if you're a little too enthusiastic with the application it won't be hard to end up a walking grease ball - so little by little lovelies.

The product leaves my skin feeling moisturised for a good few hours but I noticed that a few minutes after application when I run my hand over the area it doesn't feel smooth. I feel that my palm pulls/tugs at the skin which is unusual because I don't have this issue with my favourite body lotions.

That minor issue is not a deal breaker for me however the scent definitely is!? I love the smell of lavender but it seems to be mixed with a somewhat herbal scent which makes my nose wrinkle. I don't want my skin smelling like this so I'm lucky I received the 45g tub so it's a manageable size for me to finish and finish quickly.

I've been using dream Cream for a week now. The scent smells like lavender and the texture is between thick and thin which is great because I don't like either of those textures. When I put it on it does absorb quite well and leaves my skin feeling moist until the next morning. The lotion is a bit oily though which is the only down side.
