Gold
Drought Secret, Rescue Butter
“I really like the strong and distinctive herbal, earthy, heady oregano and neem scent. The butter helps to soothe and nourish my dry, cracked hands and the dry skin on my calves. As it is a balm, it intensively moisturises. As the weather has warmed up, I have been gardening more, which always exacerbates the dermatitis on my hands and leaves them tight and sore. This does an excellent job in placating my troubled hands and helping heal them. I am delighted.”
Laponie of Scandinavia, Mild Milk Cleanser
“Fragrance-free, with a surprising lotion-like texture. Lifted away any pollution and daily grime, and make up was removed with ease. Extremely gentle, nurturing, comforting and felt more like a skin treatment than a cleanser. I noticed that my skin looked healthier, brighter, with fewer blemishes, less eczema, less rosacea, less irritation and it felt more supple and comfortable. No new blemishes developed. This has completely changed my opinion on non-foaming cleansers. It delivered.”

Botanica Nordica, 15 Botanicals Facial Hydro Cream
“The cream had a light, smooth texture and a soft, neutral scent. It immediately felt like a product designed to be gentle. The cream absorbed quickly and left skin feeling soft without any heaviness. I liked how fresh and calm my skin felt after using it. It didn’t sting, clog pores, or leave a greasy layer. My skin felt stable — not reactive or unsettled — which was exactly what I wanted. Skin looked calmer and less flushed. The redness softened slightly and my face felt more comfortable.”
Datsit, Nut Free Whipped Body Butter
“I fell in love with this from first use for the consistency alone as its whipped texture applies to the skin beautifully, with a little going a long way. It melts into the skin, which is perfect on particularly dry or irritated areas, and it didn’t feel overly greasy. I noticed that even after just a few days that my skin felt moisturised and softer. My skin loved this. Kept eczema patches under control. My dry skin stayed nourished for longer.”
Farmstead Naturals, Gentle Manuka Face Wash
“Foams gently, and easy to apply. It’s lovely and gentle and love that it doesn’t dry. It cleans and hydrates without stripping skin and I haven’t experienced any irritation at all. It helps to cut through any oil/grime from the day, gently cleansing. When used with a cloth, my skin feels fresh. Claims to be gentle whilst targeting and fighting acne, and it delivers, without clogging pores or interfering with the balance of my skin.”
Herd & Elder, Oats & Goats
“I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well this goats’ milk soap performs — especially for my sensitive skin. From the very first use, my skin felt noticeably softer and more hydrated. There was no tightness or dryness, which I often experience with other soaps. It left a clean, nourished feeling that lasted throughout the day. Feels luxurious. No redness, itching, or discomfort — just calm, balanced skin.”
Life Happens Skin Rescue, Skin Relief & Renewal Body & Scalp Oil
“Incredibly lightweight when used as a body oil, absorbing well yet still leaving skin feeling deeply moisturised. I noticed that some dry eczema patches on my legs were less irritated after a few days of use as they had lost the dry, flaky appearance. As a scalp oil, I was impressed at how a little went a long way, rinsing well from hair and leaving scalp less flaky. Skin was still reaping benefits after several weeks, with an improvement to both dry skin and eczema patches.”
Lyonsleaf, Zinc and Calendula Cream
“Lovely to use on chapped hands. I could see my cracked thumbs repairing themselves. They were less sore and no longer bled. It is like a miracle in a jar and I am astonished at the results. Now the cracks on my fingers are gone, having been there for weeks and nothing seemed to heal them but this did. I also used it on the odd spot on my face and it proved to be an effective ointment in reducing inflammation and healing. An amazingly effective all-rounder.”
SkinGenius Skincare Ltd, Cream Come True
“Other so-called ‘silky’ creams feel like grit compared to this. I have never known anything quite like it, despite trying hundreds of creams over the years. It really does apply like silk. You are left with intensely smooth, moisturised skin. It’s incredible. THIS is my new dry skin cream. No other cream compares to the feeling you get from applying it. Moisturisation is instant; like a drink of water for skin. Skin feels so much happier now that I’m having to apply it less which makes me sad!”
Bronze
Away with Nature, Soothing Overnight Mask with Calendula & Turmeric
“I am delighted with the performance of this. My skin was going through an unusually troublesome phase when I started using it. I had been losing weight and my skin had rebelled by giving me spots followed by tight, dehydrated skin. I hoped this mask would give my skin some much needed moisture, and a month later it is clear and looks fresh and plump. It feels soft and there is no tightness or irritation. Has exceeded my expectations.”
Balmonds Skincare, Skin Salvation
“From the first applications, my skin was transformed from dry and itchy, to satiny, and trouble-free. I would never had expected such a transformation in only a couple of days — very impressive! Ongoing use on my legs has totally changed how I feel about my skin. I am no longer irritated by dry itching areas. It has continued to enhance my skin, leaving a protective luxurious moisture barrier and smooth texture. It has changed my overall outlook on the health of my skin. Outstanding.”
Dr. Organic, Skin Calm Probiotic Protection Serum
“By week three, this began really showcasing its skincare benefits. My skin felt so comfortable and hydrated, with dry and dull patches looking fresher and feeling more plump to the touch. Where I feel it really excelled was across my cheeks and around my nose where I was suffering from redness, irritation and eczema patches through the seasonal transition. It reduced the redness, stopped the irritation and my skin felt less compromised. Delivered great results.”
Drought Secret, Zinc Magic
“On breakouts and problem skin this was a great product from the outset. Sore spots and scarring were helped and it seemed like future breakouts lessened and my skin looked less patchy. Areas have healed and soothed without dry ness. Skin seems to heal quickly once you use this magic cream. It stops soreness and itching on spots, eczema and dry skin. It has really helped and taken my skin back to it’s natural state.”
Gem’s Natural Skin Care, Gem’s Dry Skin Balm
“This is beautiful — what a product! The first time you put this on it makes such a difference. It melts quickly into the skin and is very soothing. My hands look so much better and are much less dry and cracked — most of the cracks are gone actually, after the testing month. The skin on my hands looks rejuvenated. This is a 10/10 for me — it’s a great find.”
Laponie of Scandinavia, Balancing Essence Mist
“A very light mist. No sharpness or sting. Quickly absorbed. Over four weeks I have come to really love it. It refreshes and soothes my skin. I feel its anti flaking ingredients have been helpful, as flakiness has definitely reduced, of which I am extremely appreciative. I’ve also noticed a decrease in the redness caused by rosacea — even though I have spent a lot of time outside in the sun and wind. I’m surprised by its effectiveness as an addition to my skincare routine.”
LUMI, BIO-KLINIK Probiotic Aloe Gel
“Delivered on all of its promises. It helped treat my daughter’s sunburn. My eczema has become much less severe and I’m having less attacks of it on my body. My skin looks a lot more healthier; itching at night has subsided. It’s made my skin a lot stronger and I feel that my allergies are not as heightened. It’s cooling. It’s therapeutic on the skin would be great for holidays and as an emergency healing product.”
Obvs Skincare, Intensive Skin Recovery Cream
“This cream promised to help heal sore, irritated problem skin and I think it did a lovely job. A tiny bit really does go a very long way and it is so soothing for itchy skin. It can dampen the itch right from the moment you apply it, which isn’t something many products can do! My skin feels softer, less irritated and more moisturised. A lovely versatile cream.”
