    This stuff is amazing. I use it primarily as a hand cream. Moisturizes just as well as L'Occitane's Shea Butter Hand Cream, but smells better and is only a fraction of the cost. Some reveiwers...

    I couldnt get past the smell in order to see if this worked, I was pleasantly herbal, but so strong! I dont want my lotion to compete with my perfume! So I swapped it away.

    well, this product is a winner for me. I work in health care and my hands get washed about 50 times a day. Nothing seemed to work well this year and I had run out of my beloved Linda Rose...

    I would never try this on my face - I am way too acne-prone/phobic, but it is WONDERFUL on body dry spots. I use it on elbows, feet, and those random dry spots I get after shaving my legs in the...

    I just found out that skin food is stated two times here. I consider it a little bit out of place here on face care/moisturizers, as this actually is NOT face care. It's more some sort of ointment,...

    This product is having great results for me! It's too rich for me to use on my face, but it's been great for my feet. It's very moisturizing without beeing to gooey or greasy. Now I prefer this...

    I heard so many rave reviews about this product, so I had to try it. It did absolutely nothing for my dry skin. I ended up sending it back. Very disappointed.

    I normally like to wait at least a week to review something, but I had to sing my praises prematurely for this one. Bought from a lovely MUAer for $5, I wasn't sure I would like this. The tube...

    This stuff is fabulous for itchy dry hands and elbows. It's definitely thick, you have to get used to the extra heavy texture and let it soak in a bit, but once you do it protects like nothing else...

    This stuff is the only product I have ever found that actually relieves the dry skin on my hands. It's very thick and when first applied, feels like it's never going to absorb, but if you work it...

    My skin is basically trouble free and it loves this product (too!). Skin Food is a perfect name for what this cream in a tube does. It's excellent.

    Yuck! I bought this to use as a hand moisturizer. The smell is overwhelming. Very medicinial, reminded me of Ben-Gay, which is not a good smell for someone in their 20's. This is a thick creme, and...
