Cutemol Emollient Moisturizing Cream Formulation Reviews Summary

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "It's thick and rather sticky but it works!"
• "It’s super thick and holds moisture great. Not greasy like Vaseline."
• "This stuff is thick like half dried paint. It sticks to your skin like wax, but oddly enough it's perfect."
• "It is so thick and creamy. I have minor eczema and it helps with the itching."
• "This is a very thick cream; like school glue thick. And its amazing."
• "Both versions are thick and sticky. Only a small dab is needed."
• "It’s gloppy and sticky so a little goes a long way."

Cons:

• "It is very heavy and seems to sit on top if the skin instead of penetrating the top layer."

• "It feels kind of sticky and heavy when applied."
• "This stuff is very heavy and impenetrable."
• "Easy to apply - a bit on the greasy side."
• "It’s super thick, hard to rub in, and does leave a greasy residue, but it’s totally worth it."

• "Over time, dry, scaly skin will become normal."
• "This is the only moisturizer that's worked (instantly!) for my dry, cracked, almost-bleeding hands."
• "It really helps with my dry cracked hands during the winter & helps my dry cuticles."

Cons:

• "I need a cream that will absorb and moisturize my skin and this not dot do this unfortunately."
• "It just would not absorb into my skin no matter how long I waited."
• "It doesn’t work like it’s advertised. I have used most of the tub and I don’t see a difference on my dry skin."
• "Didn't work as well as I had hoped for eczema on hand."
• "This cream is very expensive - and for me didn't help my hands/nails at all."
• "I used it (as directed) for a few weeks and saw NO improvement whatsoever."
• "This product did absolutely nothing to further along the situation of my skin."

Scent

Pros:

• "It has no scent and used on dry skin -- especially feet -- it's super."
• "While the scent isn't something exciting like vanilla or lavender, it basically smells like lanolin, which is totally acceptable."
• "Doesn’t have bad or strong scent either."
• "There is no scent and it does not irritate my very sensitive skin at all, so that is yet another positive."
• "It has ZERO SCENT, which is a must for me."
• "There is no fragrance which is fine by me."
• "It has a pleasant light smell to it."

Cons:

• "The scent is not very pleasant but it doesn't last too long."
• "Smells like diaper cream, feels like diaper cream."
• "HOWEVER, I will say, it smells like the slide grease I use on my trumpet."
• "The only negative is that it smells like the hospital, but you get used to it."
• "I wish the scent was better."
• "Also, it is advertised as 'fragrance free', but there is definitely a light fragrance added."
• "Unless your definition of 'Heaven-sent' is having to use an Epipen and be transported to the ER for treatment of anaphylaxis."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "It is expensive for the quantity you are buying, it is well worth the money for how effective it is and how long it lasts."
• "I have used this for over 10 years now and while it is expensive for the quantity you are buying, it is well worth the money for how effective it is and how long it lasts."
• "I find I can buy the big jar at a very reasonable price."
• "This cream is a bit expensive, but worth every penny."
• "The bottle isn’t as large as I would have hoped but a little cream goes a long way so I think it’ll last."
• "It comes out to also be a bargain!"
• "This might be my new lotion staple. Definitely worth the cost."

Cons:

• "Not worth the exorbitant price."

• "It’s just a small amount for the price."
• "Arrived today and bottle is almost completely empty. Very disappointed."

• "This cream is very expensive."
• "However, this product is not returnable."

Application and Absorption

Pros:

• "I sometimes put it on and then place vinyl gloves on and sleep with it on my hands."
• "I use it at bedtime and put socks on and it does wonders."
• "Works great when put on at night if the greasy feeling bothers you."
• "Removed the wrinkles! Skin is greasy after application, so I used a paper towel for a gentle wipe and it worked well."
• "It soaks in well and isn’t too 'greasy' feeling once it’s absorbed."
• "Cream is super thick but absorbs pretty quickly."
• "It does absorb pretty quickly into your skin as oppose to the Aquaphor healing ointment which creates a sticky barrier after application."

Cons:

• "I've tried the hint on the jar about having my hands moistened and partially dried before applying the cream but it just didn't work well enough for me to keep doing it that way."
• "Due to the stickiness, I'll use it a bedtime and use other products during the day."
• "Only downside is that your hands are sticky for a little but after you use it."
• "Just rubbing it in can leave a sticky feeling."
• "I feel like I have to apply it quite often throughout the day."
• "It requires more manipulation of the skin to apply it evenly than I like to do my face."
• "Feels super greasy at first so I just pat my palms on a towel after application."
