Alpine Silk Nourishing Collagen Crème with Organic Lanolin

I was really excited to try the lanolin collagen cream, as I'd heard so much about it. The first thing that hit me was the smell, it is quite strongly perfumed and smells floral and very clean. If you're very sensitive to smells, this may not appeal to you, as it is one of the stronger smelling creams that I've tried. The texture is more on the firm side, but glides easily over the skin and sinks in quickly, leaving no residue or stickiness. It feels great on the skin and leaves it feeling soft and well hydrated. I also believe that my skin felt a little firmer with it but am yet to notice any change to fine lines - but it is still early days. I also haven't had any breakouts since using it, which is highly unusual for me! Overall, I'm very impressed with this cream and will definitely continue to use and likely repurchase it, as it works well for my skin and leaves it feeling beautiful and soft.

This cream comes in a white pottle - lanolin is clearly the selling point because there's a big sheep on the packaging! I used this cream in the evening after serum. I have skin that tends on the dry side and so I really wanted to like this cream and it's promise to boost skin softness and hydration as well as reduce signs of aging. However, I really didn't. The biggest drawback is the fragrance - this cream is heavily fragranced. I really didn't enjoy the fragrance - it reminded me of a drawer full of nana's creams in the 1990s. The cream does feel quite nourishing when you put it on - it's quite thick. Without the fragrance, I think it could be a good night cream.

I have enjoyed using this product, applying it about 10 minutes before I put on my foundation which then spreads very easily and smoothly over the top. My skin of course is mature and very thirsty but it has responded well to this product and my lines do appear softer and more supple. As the package says it will help to boost skin softness and hydration and I do feel it has done that for me. It is easy to spread which also helps. The ingredients listed - NZ certificate Organic Lanolin, Collagen and Vitamin E certainly make it attractive to the user regardless of their age.

The only thing I would say is that the packaging, while nice enough, makes me think more of a souvenir product than a high end one. However the moisturising cream itself is quite luxurious.

The cream is quite thick, a little goes a long way, and akin is left feeling soft and supple. It has a light and pleasant fragrance.

I loved using this cream each morning to leave my skin feeling soft for the rest of the day.

I really wanted to love this one. The claims are fantastic and I've long respected and rated lanolin as an ingredient. Unfortunately the perfume is overpowering not only in the tub, but also on the skin - and the smell lasts. If you like a very strong floral scent applied to your face then you won't have any problems with this. The cream itself is smooth, almost gel-like and while it does have lanolin in it, it isn't heavy at all.

Lovely feeling lotion. Didn't use it on my face, but loved it on my neck and upper chest. It has a nice scent, not too overpowering. I also used it on my hands. Only used for a couple of weeks, and have plenty left as you don't need a huge amount, spreads well and no need to wash hands after.

The packaging is a little "touristy" but the product comes in a nice sized tub. I found the smell a little strong at first but it has grown on me. My son whilst looking through my skincare came across this and is in love with it! We both have noticed how much softer our skin is. It's a thick texture but doesnt feel thick or heavy on the skin. I can have a sensitive face at times and it has been perfectly fine on mine. Would recommend to others!

When I first used this product I wasn't sure about it at all. I didn't like the smell or the oily feel. Then I woke up in the morning and wow my skin was smooth.

I definitely prefered to use it at night as it felt little oily and didn't think my makeup would sit well on it during the day.

I'm still unsure about the smell. It's not horrible, I just can't put my finger on what it is but there is something I'm not sold on. I don't want this to sound worse than I mean. It's definitely an OK smell and not overpowering but yea not sure what it is I don't like. This is a minor and personal preference.

I love that the container has a screw off lid. It means I will be able to get all product out. I am not sure about the sheep image on the container. It doesnt scream luxery, it makes it look like it's aimed at tourists.

I will keep using for sure, but I am not sure it is better than my current products so probably wouldn't purchase myself.

Alpine Silk Nourishing Collagen cream with Organic Lanolin had some bold claims. Boost softness, firm skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Granted I only trialled this product for about 2 weeks, but to be honest I didn't really notice a stark difference with how my skin looked.

First thing off the bat, the fragrance apparently wasn't typically what lanolin smelt like (according to my partner who has used lanolin cream in the past). It definitely had some some sort of fragrance to it - I would probably described it almost as an old fashioned scent - can't quite put my finger on it. It has quite a thick consistency as well so I would definitely recommend to use it sparingly on the face.

I definitely did find that after using it my skin was a lot softer but I didn't find it to diminish my fine lines or make my skin look firmer than usual.

The other thing that I did notice that wearing it in the daytime it did effect the longevity of my foundation, so I ended up just using it as part of my night time routine instead.

I think maybe it might be better suited to be a cream to be used on the body as opposed to the face, which I think is what I will repurpose it as, but for the face, it just wasn't for me unfortunately.

As I opened this Lanolin enriched cream, its fragrance immediately reminds of similar cream that my grandma used to apply to her face and body. It is such a good fragrance and one that helps enhance softness of the skin, however it is dense and too creamy for my combination skin. I could use it only for 3 days on my face in my nighttime skin routine before I slept and it caused breakouts on my cheeks and forehead. Thats because it is too dense for me and not for my skin.

I continued its super use on my hands and arms. Feels so soft and smooth. It is definitely for super dry to dry skin.

I had to discontinue its use on my face but using on hands, feet and arms is superb.

I would recommend to my mum, as she has dry skin. But this one is not for my face.
