I've been using Altruist Dry Skin Repair Cream for a few months now, and it’s truly been a lifesaver for my dry-ish, sensitive, and reactive skin, especially for that 'ants-crawling-all-over-why-am-I so itchy?' feeling which has plagued me even more during perimenopause (from what I read, I'm not alone!). This cream feels ultra-soothing the moment I slather it on after a shower, and I think it has significantly calmed the burning and itching sensations that seemed aggravated by hormonal changes. It's also improved the texture of the skin on my shins, which was a bit thin and blotchy and starting to show the effects of too much sun while living on the Med for 20 years. It’s rich yet absorbs beautifully without leaving a greasy residue. It’s rare to find a cream that addresses my dry, reactive skin so comprehensively - without fragrance, all importantly. Altruist has nailed the balance between repair, hydration, and soothing relief - yet the price point is incredibly reasonable. For me, this is an essential part of my skincare routine, and I wouldn’t be without it. Highly recommend to anyone in need of intense hydration and skin barrier support without breaking the bank. It truly delivers on its promises!

Thought I would try this urea cream instead of my usual Eucerin one as it’s a lot cheaper but sounded a bit similar. I’m very pleased I did as I prefer it and the bottle is huge so will last a long time, making it even better value for money. I have sensitive, acne/redness prone combination skin and I use this on my face twice daily - it absorbs really well, not greasy, doesn’t break me out, leaves skin soft, supple, smooth, soothed and hydrated. My skin feels healthier and I don’t feel I need to exfoliate my face either as much or at all with this! My make up goes on/looks better now too. I might start using it as a body cream as well. Highly recommended!

Bought these as they were a great price and have used similar products to these. Good quality cream I use on my face, hands and body, the urea helps soften the skin and it really moisturizes it, I find it absorbs well. It has no perfume which makes it great cream for me. The tube size will last for a long time.

Such good value for money, I am always so grateful for affordable, effective and fragrance free products that have been formulated to be the least likely to irritate skin. This cream feels so rich and I've used it as a general body/hand/foot cream as well as a way to control the keratosis pilaris on my upper arms. While great at helping with the KP I do find a cream with salicylic acid tends to be more effective. However I have no doubts this is a great product for anyone wanting some intense (but surprisingly light feeling) moisture in their skin! I gave it 4 stars because the cream doesn't spread too well and leaves your skin with white streaks for a few mins before being absorbed. Other rich urea creams like ones from Eucerin or Cerave don't do this so possibly something for altruist to correct in the future? I would still buy again purely for the amazing value for money.

I have Eczema and often suffer so badly in the winter. My skin is often cracked and dry even with using my usual prescription emollient. Unlike many, I prefer to be smothered in emollient but the downside for me is transferring to other things, like clothes or when I sweat. However, I bought this cream as an alternative to Eucerin extra dry 10% Urea. For me, this cream by far exceeds the quality and for the price point you’re getting it at a way better value. I love the feeling it gives once applied, it really feels like a protective barrier over my skin so moisture doesn’t leave.

This is hands-down the best cream that I have ever used! And I have used A LOT of different creams over the last 5 decades! This is the only one that relieved my red, dry and tight menopausal skin. I was at my wits end until a friend recommended it. Forget about retinol, niacinamide, Lancome, Clarins, Estee Lauder and the rest. A fraction of the price of these expensive brands and developed by doctors and dermatologists. This will be my skincare staple from now on. I use the sunscreen too and both products are reasonably priced.

Lovely softening and moisturising cream, lightweight formula while creating a protective barrier on the skin for a long time. Great value and effective.

It does help clear up dry patches, not a miracle cure. I won't buy it aging though as it doesn't quite soak in, leaves my skin a bit greasy until I wash my face. It's not necessarily visibly noticable levels of shine, but if I use it for a few days in a row it brings on acne.

I struggle a lot with dry skin and having tried before also the sunscreen from Altruist I thought I'd give this cream a try as well. I am very glad that the cream is unscented, as I had many times trouble with creams having a scent too strong or not to my liking that I ended up keeping on a shelf until they expired and then they ended up in the bin. Then, this cream really works. The crocodile skin on my legs that was also felling itchy and stingy got an immediate relief. The dkin becomes almost instantly soft and you don't need to apply a huge amount. Of course, it will not repair the skin with just one application, but I can see a real improvement after only a few times using it. Perhaps a tiny downside is that the skin remains a bit sticky after cream application, but far less compared to other creams I've used and not on the greasy side, but just a bit sticky to the touch. Overall, for me, a clear winner and great discovery.

Adoro i prodotti del marchio Altruist! Creati da un dermatologo inglese che si occupa di cancro della pelle, ha lanciato anche questa crema per pelli secche con glicerina, bisavolo e urea al 10%. Prezzo fantastico a 6 euro per una formulazione molto efficace e ben 200ml. Il prezzo accessibile e' dovuto al fatto che il Dott. Birnie ha creato il marchio non per fare soldi ma per dare la possibilità a tutti di poter usare prodotti efficaci, senza prezzi gonfiati dal marketing o packaging di lusso che non servono a niente se non a far intascare soldi alle multinazionali. La sto usando in inverno sulla pelle secca e mi trovo benissimo. Puo' essere usata anche come crema per le mani: la pelle rimane morbida e liscia. Non ha alcuna profumazione (fattore essenziale per me che non sopporto i profumi) si stende facilmente, non appiccica e si asciuga velocemente. Il flacone eroga la giusta quantità' di prodotto. Prodotto decisamente consigliato! Consiglio vivamente anche i solari di questo marchio che hanno un ottimo INCI ed un prezzo decisamente abbordabile. Preferisco spendere soldi per cause come quelle del Dott. Birnie piuttosto che dare soldi a multinazionali che vendono prodotti a prezzi da strozzinaggio a fronte di marketing e specchietti per le allodole, e non di efficacia del prodotto stesso.

I mainly bought it to use on my feet. To moisturize the dry skin, great for knees and elbows. I also have the 40% urea but it’s really sticky u need to wear socks over it at night. But this is great in the day time.
