Dr Organic Vitamin E Moisturising Cream

Hi My Lovelies,
I hope everyone has had a nice weekend so far. I am hoping you must have read my previous review of the Dr Organic Vitamin E Oil which is reviewed here.  This is the much awaited sequel. so, I will just jump right into it.



The Dr Organic Brand
I have always seen the Dr Organic brand in Holland and Barrett which is where I bought this oil. I know the brand mainly for their Manuka Honey which always looks enticing but somehow I never bothered buying it. Dr Organic is a skincare brand which prides itself in producing organic products to the highest and purest quality they can muster which is music to my organic product loving ears.

Packaging
I quite like the packaging given the price. It comes in a glass jar which feels quite expensive and sturdy which is good. It's not very heavy but it does fit in well in my travel makeup bag when i am travelling so that is very good in my books. It does have an outer packaging but it's not really important to keep it.


Formula/Ingredients
Dr Organic describes it as an intensive, emollient moisturising cream and i absolutely agree with them. Its major (or star) ingredient is Organic Vitamin E predominantly in a moisturising formula. It also contains Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Panthenol, Cocoa Butter, Wheat Germ Oil, Bergamot Oil and Sweet Almond Oil which are all naturally derived emollients and antioxidant. It is super hydrating, rich in texture and very moisturising. I can't really say it has a particular scent or fragrance but it does not smell bad. According to the Dr Organic website, this cream is suitable for scars, stretch marks, ageing skin and dry skin but it is can be used for many more uses and in my case, it has been superb during the winter season fir hydrating my skin and keeping my acne and acne scars under control.

Texture
I am not going to lie to you; this cream does really come off really thick and truly, a little goes a long way. Although it has a thick consistency, it does not feel greasy when applied. I am sure many people will prefer not to use this for their face and i understand why given its consistency. However,  I use it on my face only at night and ocassionally in the morning. It really sinks into my skin fast so the thick consistency is only for a short while as my skin readily absorbs it.

Application
As stated earlier, i use this only at night and ocassionally during the day if i feel my skin feels a little dry which is really rare. I apply this straight after the Vitamin E Oil (reviewed here). When I first started using it, it felt a little heavy straight after i applied it but it got absorbed within a short time so it was fine. These days, i don't even notice how heavy it feels on my skin. If you have dry skin, i think this cream will be suitable for you especially during the winter or drier seasons. If you are combination to oily skin like me, you may want to test run it for a couple of nights to see how you fare but i am pretty sure you will enjoy it.



Results
Every time I use this cream at night, I always wake up to really soft skin which has been really refreshing this winter season. I really like this cream and using it together with the Vitamin E Oil has brought really significant improvements to my skin which has been visible to the boyfriend and my close friends. It is definitely not a quick fix as i stated in my precious review of the Oil, it took me a little more than a month to see significant differences in fading away of Post Acne Scars and Blemishes. In terms of skin texture and softness, I saw significant differences overnight and a massive improvement within a week of using this cream. I have not broken out at all using this and that was my biggest fear instead it has helped clear my ocassional Acne and i have not broken out at all except for a few naughty hormonal fellas which were very short lived.



Cost
Again, I got this from Holland and Barret for £7.39 but i got it together with the Vitamin E Oil and they had an offer of buy one get one half price like they always do which is  massive bargain seeing that i still have a good quantity of this cream left as i use only very,very little every night.

Verdict
I really love the Vitamin E Organic Cream range from Dr Organic and it has really changed my skin with some other changes which i have made with my skin care. It's definitely worth a try regardless of what kind of skin you have. I can imagine that ladies with very dry skin or dry skin will like this and if you have oily skin, it's still worth a try because it will help balance out hydration and moisture levels.



That's it folks. I hope you have enjoyed this review like the previous ones. I am sorry i have been a little erratic with my blog post but you know sometimes life gets in the way and i have had a few things going on but i will be back with a grind soon. I have taken tonnes of pictures so that's always a good sign to watch out for more posts. Thanks for sticking by me and see you in my next post..toodles..x

Dr Organic Vitamin E Pure Oil Complex

Hi My Lovelies,

I hope you are all having a good weekend. Taking care of my skin is very important to me because let's face it, I  have only one skin so I may as well take good care of while I can. I always favour using organic products because I feel they don't irritate my skin.  I don't mind using inorganic products which sometimes act faster but whenever I have the opportunity to use organic products, I always jump at it. My Acne is now under control (Hallelujah!!). I would be sharing my story in another blog post but for today, let's concentrate on my favourite organic oil.

During my research on good skin care routine for my Acne via the internet, i came across various recommendations to try Vitamin E Oil or Cream as Vitamin E is good for blemishes and useful for fading away scars. Obviously, I am no skincare expert so I am just sharing my experience on what has worked for me. I actually wanted to do a unified blog post for the Dr Organic range which includes the Vitamin E Oil and Cream but it was so lengthy and I know you get bored with a long post which is why I decided to split it up. Let's get started...

The Dr Organic Brand

I have always seen the Dr Organic brand in Holland and Barrett which is where I bought this oil. I know the brand mainly for their Manuka Honey which always looks enticing but somehow I never bothered buying it. Dr Organic is a skincare brand which prides itself in producing organic products to the highest and purest quality they can muster which is music to my organic product loving ears.

Packaging

I quite like the packaging of the Dr Organic Vitamin E Pure Oil Complex because it is very practical. It comes with an outer package which I recommend you preserve like I have done so you can travel with it in safe packaging to prevent any spillage or damage. The bottle itself is Amber coloured which takes me back to when I was in Uni and we had to engage in some experiments in the lab. Amber coloured bottles/packaging generally protect any product from oxidation or any reaction with light so I am pretty sure that was the thinking behind using it. The bottle itself has a small dropper inside which allows you dispense the right amount of oil you need which I think is very handy to prevent any waste as you really only need very little.

Ingredients/Formula

As you may have guessed, it contains Vitamin E Oil in a pure form (Tocopherol) which is one of the forms that is easily absorbed by the human body. Apart from  Vitamin E which has a strength of 10,000 iu, it also contains Rose Hip Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil and  Jojoba Oil among other organic oils and herbs which all come together to form the nicest,smoothing oil ever. It is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans which is very useful to know.

Texture

I know a lot of people are terrified of using oils on their face. Some are okay with using it on other parts of their body but many people, especially oily skin ladies (shout out to all of us, we rock!) prefer not to use any oil on their face and I totally understand why. But this oil is different because it is well absorbed just like the Gamila Secret Face Oil.Of course, when you rub it on your hands or face, it does feel a little oily but it gets absorbed really fast leaving your skin really soft.

Application

For me, I cleanse my face thoroughly, then use a clarifying lotion like my Clinique Clarifying Lotion and apply the oil straight after. I usually follow with the Vitamin E moisturising Cream (review here) if it's night time or just my normal SPFand I am done with face. I apply my makeup and I am good to go. It  allows my makeup glide across my face so easily.





Results
Blemish and Acne Scarring wise, I did not see immediate changes. In fact, I saw significant changes almost a month after I started using it. The immediate changes I saw was in the texture of my skin. My skin has become really soft ever since I started using it. Not only soft but my acne has miraculously reduced significantly and I believe this oil played a big part. I used both the Vitamin E Oil and the Vitamin E Moisturising Cream (both from the Dr Organic Brand) although I only used the cream at night as it could be quite heavy. I have enjoyed using this oil and my skin has really improved so much so that the boyfriend actually commented on it. I am quite pleased and I will definitely keep using it.



Cost
It is really affordable and if you buy it from Hollands and Barrett, you can get a good deal which was why i bought both the oil and cream. Holland and Barrett always have sales such as buy one get other half price or their popular penny sale where you buy one and get an equivalent for a penny. The Oil costs £8.99 (it's now £8.49) which is really affordable as I have only gone through half of the bottle as you can see from the picture. It would definitely last you a long while because you really need a little.



Cons
1. I have heard it has broken a few people out but I did not experience any at all (thank God) but I think it will be useful to test it first on your skin before going all the way.
2. It could be quite oily on application although your skin would absorb it in a short while but many ladies do not like this. (No one said beauty had to be easy ladies!!)
3. After it is absorbed on your skin, your chances of experiencing an oily T-zone before the end of the day is highly increased except you use a bad ass primer. I find that my skin becomes extra shiny by the end of the day compared to days when I have not used it.



Verdict
Clearly, you can see I love it. I have been using it for exactly two months now and my skin has made a massive improvement. My acne has become non-existent (except for a few naughty hormonal ones) and my dark blemishes are fast clearing. This is not a quick fix product. I heard a couple of people got almost instant results with their dark blemishes. Mine took a little while, in fact, I first saw improvements with the dark blemishes almost a month later but my acne was significantly reduced within a week and my skin was visible smooth and softer the night after I first used it.



Thanks for getting up to this point in this super long post. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Let me know in the comment box below if you want more reviews on this... see you in my next post...x
