Aqueous Cream 500ml | Moisturising Cream for Softening and Hydrating Skin Fragrance & Lanolin Free - Dermatologically Tested

Brilliant on dry skin Stops itching at night

Very good cream. No need for any expensive cream this is the best I’ve used

I use a LOT of aqueous cream and normally buy multiple tubs of Boots own. But Boots has a supply issue currently so I turned to Amazon. I decided to do a little research and try this one - Nuage - and compare it with XBC and Aquaderm (brands stocked by Amazon). Before I go any further, a lot of people are up-in-arms about the inclusion of Sodium Laurel Sulphate in aqueous cream. I do wonder why AC includes this as in shampoo it is to create a lather which is important to many customers. You hardly need a good lather for AC so maybe it’s there for another reason. I haven’t come across AC that doesn’t contain it though. If there is one I’d like to know but it’s hard to avoid this ingredient in beauty and health. All three came in pots that are taller and narrower than Boots own and look smaller but actually aren’t. Of the three tested, I found Nuage to be the closest in consistency to the Boots own. It was fairly thick and so would do better as a cream. I only needed a tiny bit and it rubbed in nicely. The other two were much thinner and were actually better for filling my dispensers with as I tend to use it as hand soap (vital in these days of frequent soap use during the pandemic. Proper soap is probably better for this but it ruins sensitive skin). Here’s my detailed review about all three in comparison: Nuage best all rounder. Nice on skin, good cream and will still work from a dispenser next to the sink as soap. XBC next best. Better as a soap, not so good as a cream - very thin and doesn’t rub in so well Aquaderm came in at the bottom of my three tested. Same as XBC but also not such a good consistency. I’ll be sticking with Nuage.

I use this to moisturise my legs, My legs have never been so soft. Lovely and creamy to massage into your skin. Great price.

Good moisturiser.

Price is very good for the size of the tub. The consistency is creamy and it is moisturising. The absorbency could be a bit better, as I do have to work it in a a little bit to fully absorb, but overall very good. Also unscented so appropriate for sensitive skin.

This product leaked, the bottle was covered in cream when it arrived

I take skincare and anti ageing very seriously, and using prescription tretinoin means I need fragrance free products that won’t irritate my skin. This works perfectly for me. It’s a great alternative to Cerave Moisturising Cream - much cheaper, and pretty much the same. The Cerave does have extra ingredients in that are supposed to support the skin barrier, but to be honest the jury is out on how much those things really do for you in reality. A plain cream like this is doing everything you actually need from a moisturiser - sealing in moisture and reducing epidermal water loss with the most effective occlusives you can get - petrolatum and mineral oil. These are incredibly inert substances, and some of the best things you can apply to the skin for moisture retention and barrier health. Of course, you won’t see a huge marketing campaign with celebrity endorsements for this product, but it’s probably more effective than whatever overpriced gloop the high end brands try to sell us. For me, it’s a staple now. Especially good over the eye area which is really prone to soreness and dryness with some of my hardcore anti ageing actives.

I personally like a thick oily aqueous cream. This one isn't a good texture but it gets the job done.

Tres bien

I am happy with the product. It's a classic Aqueous cream: goes far, rubs in quickly, very moisturising and scentless. Great price for the amount of cream.

La crème est la seule sans GLYCÉRINE en Belgique.

Crema leggera a base d'acqua si assorbe molto facilmente e idrata benissimo
