- There is 35% aloe vera gel plus fermented aloe and organic magnolia extract.
Why does dry skin keep coming back, whatever you use?
For many people in the UK, dry skin is a year-round story. In winter it is the central heating and the cold wind, in summer it is the sun and the long hot showers after a day out. You notice it as tight cheeks in the morning, rough elbows, flaky shins or hands that never feel quite comfortable. Heavy creams often help for an hour and then leave a greasy film on your clothes and phone screen.
The Aloe Vera Soft Skin Cream aims for the middle ground. LR describes it as rich but not greasy: it provides intense moisture, absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling silky soft. You can use it on your face and on any area of the body that feels stressed, morning and evening. According to LR, dry and sensitive skin types in particular benefit from its balancing properties.
It is the kind of tube that ends up being shared by the whole household, from the bathroom shelf to the gym bag.
