Lush Dream Cream

Body creams, lotions, body butters, moisturizers. Some people struggle to keep up with the mundane task of slapping on those creams after a bath. For me, it's absolutely essential and I'd feel really uncomfortable without my body moisturizer.

I discovered Lush's Cream Cream on my trip to Japan and I'm currently on my second tub!

Description:
Our number one, best-selling product of all time, Dream Cream contains every ingredient nature makes for soothing sore skin. One of our proudest product achievements ever, we love this body lotion because it makes people happy. It transforms suffering bodies into states of peace with our calming blend of oat milk, lavender and chamomile to care for irritations, reduce redness, and banish blotches. Olive oil and cocoa butter are perfectly suited and incredibly effective for dry or chapped skin, and especially gentle for even the most sensitive types. Do your skin a favor, treat it right with Dream Cream.
Price
I bought this in Japan and I think it was around S$24 (240g)? I'm sure it will cost a lot more in Singapore, that's why I bought a backup after my first 2 uses in Japan.

Texture
Quite creamy but not thick, and it sinks into the skin about a minute or two without leaving a greasy layer.
Scent:
Herbally lavender scent. I can't say that it's the nicest smell in the world, but I definitely got used to it, and I think I even grew to like the light lavender scent.

Packaging
I love Lush's packaging. Even though it's not the most hygienic to have products in a tub like this, I really don't mind. I actually like dipping my fingers into tubs compared to pumping products out of a dispenser. That's for body products of course, for anything that comes in direct contact with my face, a pump please.
What I like:
  • It absorbs easily, but it's still moisturizing enough.
  • That fact that Lush uses a ton of natural ingredients! I have quite sensitive skin and it's just good to know that you're not putting on a layer of unhealthy chemicals on your skin every single night. I mean, I'm sure they use some sort of chemicals to prolong the shelve life of their products or whatever, but at least (I like to think) it's more natural than other some other moisturizers you get at the drugstore.

What can be improved:
Other than the price, i think I'm really happy with the Dream Cream! Nothing much to complain about really. 

It took me about 3months to finish an entire tub with daily usage and I'm currently halfway through my second tub:( Honestly, Dream Cream performs better compared to say Johnson and Johnson, but I get so much more product with Johnson and Johnson and it's a baby friendly brand! I might just go back to J&J after I finish Dream Cream, but if I have unlimited spending power, Dream Cream all the way.
