I love this stuff! It is more like a whipped light cream consistency and isn't greasy at all, it contains shea butter. I don't normally use body moisturisers but received a sample of this and it felt lovely when applied to my arms.

It is cooling when applied and rubs in nicely and leaves my skin really soft - I can put my clothes on a short time afterwards. I like to apply it before going to bed. I am pregnant and have been using this to cool the itchy stretch marks, and it works like a dream. It is expensive though and although I've had this 200ml tub for around 6 months I have not been using it exclusively so not so sure how long it would actually last for. I have around half a tub left. I have been trying many different body moisturisers during the course of my pregnancy as my skin has become really dry. Let me also say that this seems to be the only cream I can apply directly after shaving my legs - everything else seems to break me out there for some reason.
I would like to repurchase but at 36UK pounds, it IS pricy, but that said - I think this is my fav -I would probably save up and pay out for it.

The cream smells good, and leaves my skin super soft. I will continue to use it longterm to see if it helps diminish old scars.

Only complain is that it's not heavy enough. In the winter, I like a heavy, almost oily body cream (such as eucerin or keri or cocoa butter), and this was just too light. My skin is moisterized, but not as much as I am used to.

Still a really great product.

This stuff is AMAZING!

You can use it all over your body - makes you feel refreshed with the natural green herbal and a cooling feeling.

AND if you have dry skin on your face you can even use on your face and neck.

I have bought lots of this because it works and has no wierd chemicals in it, all herbal and natural ingredients.

As a face cream it is loads better than Clinique's comforting cream which is full of chemicals and stuff that i'd never want to put near my skin.

The consistency is of a whipped cream on the rich side so if you don't have dry skin you probably don't need much.

It comes in a HUGE tub so although it is not cheap it lasts for ages so is actually extremely good value.

I've often used this on my face and a face cream in a tub this big that works is my HG.

Oh my gos. That' all I can really say... I just got this and the Matcha Tea Scrub, and my skin has never looked better. The chicken skin bumps on the back of my arms is going away, and my elbows are actually the same color as my skin now. :) My DH even commented on the softness of my arms... that's good stuff if he notices.

Not greasy but very moisturizing. Nice consistency. Smells pleasant - not strong. Will not interfere with your perfumes. Helps with ashiness and dry scaly patches on my legs.

UPDATE: So this stuff almost destroyed me. its taken almost a month for the little bumps to go away. Not even my L'Occ amande body milk could help. It finally started returning to normal with, ironically enough, Origins A Perfect World, which I normally use only in winter 'cuz its a little heavy. Yup...me and Dr W don't get along :(


I received a sample of this. Enough to use 3 times. I haven't had any luck with Dr W's products except for the eye mu remover pads (which I love) so I was hoping this would be different. Being a body cream junkie I just had to try it. It smells great. Light, clean, with a light ginger scent and a little something soft and green. White, medium consistency, soft and creamy. Spreads pretty easy for a cream and soaks in well but takes a few minutes. Initially my skin feels good, but then it got itchy. I don't know if it was from the ingredients, or that itchy feeling you get when your skin is too dry, but it was a very uncomfortable feeling. I used up the entire sample (total of 3 times all over my bod), and the itchies got worse with each use. By the last time I had these tiny little bumps all over my body that you could feel but not see. Not good. Might be a blessing in disguise since its $45 for 7oz jar (would prefer tube). My Abra Therapeutics at $6 a bottle does a far superior job and if I'm going to drop a wad on body cream I'll reach for L'Occitanes Amande which does wonders for my skin.
