Dermalab Super Hydrating Intensive Moisturiser Review

I can't say enough good things about Dermalab Super Hydrating Moisturiser, I was impressed. I've used it for three days now and also have to hide it from my husband. It's super thick but soaks into the skin completely without leaving any greasy residue. The scent is light, fresh and reminds me of sweet cucumbers- not over powering but pleasant and natural. I used the cream on some carpet burn, elbows and calloused gym hands and saw results immediately. I loved that it left no residue because I could go right back to working on my computer without making my mouse and keyboard greasy. I also feel confident that when I have my next episode of psoriasis this cream will sooth it. I also love that its completely natural and made locally- cant wait to try other products from DermaLab.

I had been selected for the Beautyreview trial team, and have been using this product since it arrived in the mail just over a week ago, morning and night. It comes in a very easy to use squeeze bottle, where the hole is down the bottom, so it makes it easier to use once there is less product left in the bottle. Nice!

When I first squeezed it out, I noticed a very different sort of smell than I'd expected. Alot of 'natural' moisturisers often smell kinda floral, or like honey or rose. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't a fan of the Demalab Super Hydrating Moisturiser's smell, it sort of smells like cucumber and cream cheese.

I found that I was also not the biggest fan of the consistency- it sort of ends up quite thick . If you don't rub it in properly, you get these white bits on your face. However, this moisturiser had never claimed to be light, or nicely scented, so I can't really fault it too much. This moisturiser's main selling point is it's compatibility with dry, sensitive skin, even going as far to claim that it can soothe eczema, itching, rosacea, etc. As my skin has most of these problems, I was excited to try this. The first time I tried the product on my face, it left my skin feeling moisturised, and this feeling lasted the whole day, with the added benefit that my skin didn't look shiny. When combined with an essence and serum, the moisturising effect lasted even longer. But now, after using regularly every morning, I absolutely love it! It gives my skin an instant hydration which beats most moisturisers easily!

I received this product in the Beauty Vault.

Consistency - This product is extremely thick in consistency.

Fragrance - This product has a light cucumber scent and is not overpowering.

Coverage - A small amount of this product goes a long way, I use this daily on my arms and legs and this tube has lasted me weeks and is still going.

Price - This is a reasonably priced product maybe slightly dearer than a supermarket lotion.

Packaging - This product comes in a large squeezy tube. The packaging is simple and white black and green in colour. This product also comes in a larger size with a pump.

Results - This moisturiser provided my skin with the moisture it desperately needed. I apply this at night to my arms and legs, it can take a we while to sink into your skin so I don't use this in the morning. It leaves my skin soft and smooth the following day.

Skin type- I have very fair combination, blemish prone skin. I get an oily t zone but other areas of my face often get dry. Repurchase- I probably will repurchase this product because I do prefer a thicker type of moisturiser. I will however probably purchase the packaging with the pump.

DermaLab, Where have you been all my life?!?!? I picked this up in the last beauty vault and im so glad that I did. Coming into the cooler months my skin has been going super dry considering this weather has been stripping the moisture off my skin.My normal moisturizer is just not doing it's job anymore and I remembered I stashed this one away for a rainy day.

I love the size of this product. Its a giant compared to more normal tube of moisturiser. My other moisturisers look small and compact. Ive been using this all over my body and it works so well! It hydrates my skin straight away and lasts for a long period of time. I absolutely love this and I have got the rest of my family using it. I believe this to be family friendly. My partner uses this on his hand that was burnt (it gets extremely dry) and it helps so much. I am so thankful to have found such a great moisturiser. Its soft, natural and fragrance free so no irritation at all. Best of all. Its made in Aotearoa! New Zealand made products are the best.

I will be forever repurchasing this moisturiser. Its family friendly and does a good job. I highly recommend this moisturiser.

I was lucky to get this product from the last beauty vault. I’m always on the lookout for a good moisturiser for dry skin, and this one is designed for dry and sensitive skin.

The tube is a little bland – more clinical than beautiful and very plain – white with blue and green print. That didn’t put me off as the tube told me the product contains NZ manuka honey and colloidal oatmeal, which sounds lovely and natural, and makes up for a plain tube right?

So the product itself is a thick cream, and as I’ve said many times, I love a thick cream moisturiser. It has a lovely scent which I couldn’t identify, so I asked my son what he thought, and he described it as reminding him of a yellow rose! Anyway, it contains lots of lovely natural ingredients so is likely a fragrance borne of a mix of gorgeous natural scents.

When applied to the skin it rubs on easily and absorbs quite well, my only criticism being that it can feel a little sticky when applied. After it has absorbed my skin feels a little waxy and soft, which I really like. Having used it for around 10 days now, I’m finding I like it more each time I use it, and I use it several times each day.

The products claim is that it repairs dry, sensitive skin and supports the skins protective barrier with naturally moisturizing colloidal oatmeal and New Zealand manuka honey. It certainly does do what it says it does.

For $14.99 for the 150ml tube, this product is great value, and I would certainly recommend it to others to try.

I think this moisturiser is really good for super dry skin as gives your skin intense hydration. After about 10 minutes your skin is instantly smooth and well hydrated. This moisturiser absorbs easily into your skin and dries quickly without leaving your skin tacky or sticky.

The texture of this moisturiser is really thick, almost as thick as a body butter. Because it's quite thick I would recommend to make sure you rub the product in properly. I therefore probably wouldn't use this all over my body, only in certain areas that are particularly dry. I don't have insanely dry skin or bad eczema, but I use this on my dry patches and it really works a treat. It leaves your skin really soft and smooth. I also find its best to use after your shower or bath as it makes it easier for your skin to absorb.

This moisturiser doesn't have really have a scent, it only has a slight floral, natural herb soft of smell. This moisturiser is really gentle and soothing, and is really good for those with sensitive skin. I also love how this product is made with organic and NZ products such as flax seed oil and Manuka honey.

The packing is a big flat tube, with a simple white design and label on it. Because the product is quite thick I think a pottle or container would probably be better. The product isn't hard to squeeze out, but I can see that it would become hard when there is less than half left in the tube.

I highly recommend this product to those which have really dry and dehydrate skin, especially if you have eczema.

I absolutely love dermalab! I use their face wash to remove my makeup at night, their hydrating moisturiser on my body and this moisturiser on my face when its feeling very dry. I love them all. This is a fantastic NZ brand doing great things, I couldn't recommend their products more!

I was sincerely impressed by this product. I have a nightmare time usually with moisturisers and my very dry, eczema prone and sensitive skin so had high hopes for this which were not disappointed.

The packaging is simple and it was easy to squeeze out the moisturiser. It could definitely come in a larger size as I don't think it will last very long if like myself you need to apply rather frequently to keep your skin hydrated.

I found the unscented lotion did not irritate my skin and although it took a few minutes to sink it - it left my skin feeling soft but not greasy. I applied it twice a day - once in the morning after showering and again the evening before bed (my eczema is severe so others probably won't need to do this so often). My skin feels much less itchy and more hydrated so I do feel like it is having a positive effect.

I like that it is reasonably affordable, an NZ product and uses natural ingredients. I do believe it is my new holy grail body moisturiser and would certainly recommend it to others suffering winter dry skin woes or those who like me are blessed with itchy, scratchy eczema.
