Holos Skincare, This is More Get Better Butter
“A white thick buttery cream — just glides onto the skin like silk. The fragrance is fresh with just a hint of lime. I’m not easily impressed — but WOW. This cream felt very different from anything I have used before. I was so impressed from the first application. My hands have taken such a battering from using soap and anti-bacterial cleansers during Covid. My knuckles were so cracked and flaky — and this is in addition to the eczema I usually suffer between my fingers and on wrists. This cream worked miracles from the very first application. It calmed my skin straight away, taking away the itch. What can I say — I love this cream so much. I’m quite evangelical about it now — if anyone in my family has dry or irritable skin, I offer them this little pot of loveliness! It is an absolute godsend. If I were shipwrecked on a desert island, this would be the one luxury item that I could not do without.”
“I could tell instantly that this was a very moisturising butter. The cream itself is fairly thick, but surprisingly when rubbed into your skin, it soon disappears without much effort. You don’t need to use much as it’s very concentrated and a small amount goes a long way. I noticed that my skin looked hydrated and also plumped up and soft to touch … My hands looked less crepey and old as the dryness was taken away and moisture was put back into them. The skin on my hands looked thicker, the blue veins were less noticeable . Skin was no longer sore or cracked. I had painful patches of dry red broken skin, particularly on my palms, from where I had been washing my hands many times due to the pandemic and by using this they have healed up and my skin looks normal again. I loved everything about it — it’s perfect as it is”
