“The Shea butter in this day moisturiser makes it very thick, rich and creamy and it feels very luxurious. Smells nice too - quite a gentle scent that wouldn't bother anyone. The ingredients include shea butter, wheat germ oil, aloe vera and sweet almond oil - the blurb says it is formulated with Himalayan Spring Water. I have to say that I do rather hope they are not really importing Himalayan spring water (at vast expense presumably) to make this. The list of ingredients includes water but does not specifically say it is Himalayan which hopefully means they have merely analysed and mimicked the properties of that particular mountain water. This moisturiser should suit any type of skin and although I am no chemist the ingredients would appear to be fairly pure and should not be a problem for anyone. It really does go on very smoothly and feels extremely nice on the skin. My only complaint is that for an expensive product like this it really should come in a more efficient container - it is a pump but it is lightweight plastic and I had to have quite a fight with it to make it work at all. Having finally got it going I don't feel confident that the mechanism is going to last as it doesn't seem to produce an even flow and feels a bit flimsy. I hope I am proved wrong because the moisturiser itself is excellent.”

“Everything about this product is good - its ingredients, its effects on the skin, the bottle, its light scent, its inclusion of natural contents... Herbal Essential's is packed with wheat germ oil, aloe vera, sweet almond oil and shea butter and immediately gets to work. It's formulated with pure Himalayan spring water (presumably imported to France). Contains essential minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium to boost skin renewal. The antioxidants and omega-6 help juvenate the skin.”

“This moisturiser comes in a fairly nice looking pump, however the pump does take some pressing to dispense the product. The cream itself is quite thick and I needed about 4 pumps for my face. It feels comfortable and smells great - a subtle natural smell and not overly perfumed. The only downside is it contains no SPF, but is otherwise great.”

“This claims to be formulated with pure Himalayan Spring Water, high in essential minerals to boost skin renewal and enriched with Wheat Germ oil, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera and Sweet Almond Oil. The product comes in a small aerosol glass bottle which is white with black writing and a blue motif. This is in a box which mirrors the bottle in appearance. Looks quite clinical, clean and fresh. It decants a white cream which has little or no smell. The cream feels rich as you rub it into your skin and is absorbed quite quickly. My wife has fairly dry, mature skin but it left her face and neck feeling soft and hydrated all day. Her skin looked fresh and clear. It claims to suit all skin types. At £36 for 50ml this product is middle of the range cost wise. My wife liked it and will consider buying more when this is used up. She did not like it as much as her Estée Lauder but that does cost a lot more!”

“This is a thick creamy lotion that contains Himalayan spring water, which is supposedly high in essential minerals like calcium, magnesium and potassium, which is claimed to boost skin renewal. It also contains wheat germ oil, shea butter, sweet almond oil and aloe vera, antioxidants and omega 6. The cream is stated to be suitable for all skin types. The cream comes in a small box, that looks rather like an eye drops box to be honest and the cream itself is in a little glass bottle with a pump action lid, as shown in the pictures. It takes several pumps to get the first bit of cream out and it comes out in a thin strip as shown. The cream soaks quickly into the skin and leaves it feeling instantly smoother and softer, without leaving any tacky residue. The cream has little to no fragrance, although the ingredients state it contains "parfum", but I cannot discern a scent. I think the biggest issue for me is that the cream does not spread very far... I didn't think my skin was that dry, but I seemed to need to use quite a lot to get good coverage of my whole face and I would be concerned that at that rate of usage, this 50ml bottle would not last long at all and it is very expensive. I have had similar results with other brands that cost much less and seem to spread more with less, so I would have to see what the difference is over time, as to whether I would be willing to purchase this again.”

“This is a really nice day cream. Nice little pump container that dispenses as needed. Less is more and the cream is rich and satisfying. Left skin feeling great”
