Alpine Silk Nourishing Collagen Crème with Organic Lanolin

This is an absolutely lovely moisturiser, that can be used anywhere on the body. It's not greasy, smells lovely, and is long lasting.

I used this on my hands/arms and on my face - no breakouts (and I have skin that doesn't like change!) and no extra greasiness.

You don't need a lot of this product - it goes a long way.

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.

I am impressed with this product! It really is as silky as it says it is. After coming back from hospital after having my newborn my skin was so dry after 3 weeks in there. It absorbs really well and sits nicely on the skin. My skin feels very silky and hydrated. I used this on my entire body and it really makes a difference to the appearance and dryness of my skin. When using this product make sure to rub it in so there's no excess left over. The fragrance is ok, that was the only reason I marked it down as it smells very floral. Not my favourite scent but would not make me stop using the product as it really is hydrating.

I was so eager to try this, as a 41 year old woman I need all the hydration I can get. I appreciate the simple but attractive packaging. Looove that it doesn't smell too strong, it has a soft creamy smell, unlike others that irritate my nose. The consistency is creamy but not oily or thick. You don't need to apply a lot as it spreads easily which means that it will last a long time. No applicator is needed, just use your fingertips. Bonus, my fingertips feels like velvet every time!

My skin immediately soaked in the goodness. I straight away saw the difference! My skin seemed smoother, and so much plumper! After two or three applications, it looked like I had injectables as my skin looked way more hydrated, fine lines and wrinkles disapeared and defininely seemed plumper. I have oily skin and this did not worsen it. I like that this product is so affordable and does way more than some of the more expensive products I have tried.

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.

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.

It was a surprise to get an invite to this trial. I had heard of lanolin before in baby / mother products for cracked or irritated nipples. I thought of it to be like a petroleum jelly type of thing. When I got the product I thought the size of product was going to be smaller. The best thing that I have enjoyed from this trial and what really surprised me with the product is it has such a beautiful feminine perfume scent I really enjoy it for this reason. I read up about the benefits of lanolin for skin and it is much better than Vaseline for moisturizer. It has some anti inflammatory properties aswell and helps lock in and retain the skins moisture content giving a protective barrier. As far as smoothing out wrinkles I don't think this really helps but it could prevent new ones from forming. The added collagen I'm not convinced that it penetrates past many layers of skin although I read that the lanolin can. To give the product credit the collagen I. It is the form of which has a smaller molecular size but in general if your taking collagen topically (that is using it in a cream or externally) it's not effective aside from perhaps improving surface top layers of skin compared to taking it internally (consuming it). The texture of the cream is thick and a bit silky but doesn't feel all loaded with cheap hair conditioner agents. Now my daughter has ezemea and she always wants to try my things so I was a bit concerned that this would cause her to get a flare up after she got into especially with the heavy fragrance but thankfully she was fine! In fact I read that laolun is often used in cosmetics aimed at sensitive skin types and can provide some releif from some minor skin irritations. Nice to know this is a parable free product and NZ made. Just keep in mind that if the sheep are exposed to toxins from fertilizers and pesticides it can potentially be in the lanolin I read up that contaminated lanolin can cause hyperpigmentation and was even banned in 2001 but that was not specific to New Zealand sheep / lanolin and happens with alot of natural resources. Bottom line; would I use this specific to treat wrinkles? No. Would I use it again or potentially buy? Yes because the scent is devine! It gives this a luxurious theme. Makes a nice hand and body cream but isn't ideal for acne prone or oily skin types as it can clogg pores I have been breaking out on my face -always had acne. This is nice to put on my chest and havds though. Thank you BR for the nice aromatherapy.

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.

This is a product I would have normally walked right past and I think its mainly to do with the touristy type packaging than thinking its a genuine beauty product.

In terms of the product it was thick and creamy, great for using on my body and even for the kids after a bath/shower. Using on my arms and legs, it leaves them feeling noticeably soft and smooth. It absorbs quickly and treats any dry skin.

I also love the fact that it is New Zealand made and using organic lanolin and collagen to give that real beauty boost to an great everyday moisturiser.

I was lucky to be sent this to try out - but I have to say I have mixed feelings on it.

The pros: quite a simple crème, does the job and has a NZ local connection which is always a bit of a feel good moment

The cons: unfortunately this product just didn’t rock my world. I didn’t find it any different or more effective than other moisturisers I use. It was ok for body but way too thick and oily feeling for my face. Overall I wasn’t a fan of the oily feeling.

I also really don’t like the packaging. It feels so touristy and honestly a bit weird seeing sheep on beauty product packaging!

That aside, I wouldn’t purchase this again. Sure it did the job, but I didn’t find it any more beneficial to my skin than other products I’ve used before. I would say with the oiliness and thickness of the product in mind it may be best suited to someone with super dry skin. But for me, it just wasn’t a standout product.
