Unlike most of you gals on here - Respect! - I don't care about the perfume or appearance of products, although from a marketing perspective, I feel Essano has nailed the packaging, it's really smart, which is great as I try to support NZ brands. I just wanted something to relieve my hands from constant reno work and I even use it on my face when a big pump bottle is handy on a break after washing down.
Obviously I'm not the target market but I find it good for that somewhat random use. Not as good as the last one which was Sulkin. But perfectly fine and better value when your objective is not beauty but relief from work-battered skin. I think the smell is partly due to the lack of added scents and fillers rather than any inadequacy on the product's part.
I'll go now before I sound more like a girl... : )
I was told by a surgeon to use this on my scars after surgery to keep the skin moisturised. She said it was good quality and affordable. I found it didn't absorb well and wasn't creamy but felt thin. I couldn't see any beneficial effect, but I did like the citrus scent. Unfortunately it felt like a cheap product so I can't recommend it.
