Some products earn their place on the shelf by doing one job superbly. Aqueous cream does three or four — which is why a tub of Skin eFX aqueous body cream tends to empty faster than you'd expect. Here's how to get the most from each of the three tubs in the range.
Original: the everyday workhorse
Fragrance and colour free, dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types, the Original tub is the one to keep within arm's reach. Apply after showering while skin is still slightly damp — that's when a moisturiser locks in the most hydration. It also makes a gentle hand cream for anyone who washes their hands a lot through the day.
Evening Primrose Oil: the overnight softener
Evening primrose oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid, a fatty acid loved for supporting the skin's barrier. This is the tub for elbows, heels and anywhere that turns rough in cold weather — a generous layer before bed does more than a hurried morning application ever will.
Vitamin E & Shea Butter: the winter coat
Shea butter brings the richness, vitamin E brings the antioxidant support. When the heating goes on and skin starts to feel tight, this is the tub to reach for — especially for legs and arms straight after a warm shower.
Three quick rules for any of them
- Damp skin drinks better: moisturise within a few minutes of washing.
- Little and often beats one thick weekly slather.
- Don't forget hands and neck — the two places that show dryness first.
One formula family, three personalities — and all of them big, honest tubs that last for months.
