    I've used them in the past. They are alright, nothing startling.
  • I have nasty sensitive dry skin it normally fares well in the summer months. I have recently lost my mother and returned to work last week and came out in hives on my arms and face!! Not too inflammed but now my face feels so raw. I heard about the properties of rosehip seed oil and add that to a simple face cream with not chemicals or parabens along with geranium oil. However, with this little flare up that hasnt worked. So I am using a combination of jojoba oil, ocm method. Re-applied jojoba oil, and once that has absorbed using neat rosehip seed oil. The jojoba is really taking the inflammation down, and its seems good (on research) for most types of skin. I believe this little outbreak is due to stress. Thought it might have been prickly heat so treated initially with anti histamines and antihistamine cream They worked to stop the itching but was left with such a sore face!!

    I have problem skin (combination, acne, sensitivity) and although I'm not daft enough to think that the very expensive creams are the only ones that will be fit for purpose, it simply isn't the case that they're all as good as each other. If I could find a £3 cream that made my skin feel properly hydrated AND didn't sting or aggravate my spots, I'd be more than happy to use it in preference to spending £15 a month or whatever.

    People who can use any face cream they choose are very lucky.
