ST. D'VENCE Alpine Winter Edition Moisturizer Body Lotion for Dry Skin Women & Men | Tea Tree Oil, Shea Butter & Vitamin E | Body Lotion for Summer | Combo Pack of 2- (300 ml x 2)

This works! Especially for 10-15°C kind of winters for people with very dry skin who needs whole body moisturisers even during light summers. & Yes ideal thick & nourishing oil based moisturiser for whole body use, including face within these params. Usually lotions are milk.cream based & are hardly effective for winters. DVence being oil-based & thick, yet spreadable, is a big plus.SummaryPros: Good oil-based winter cream for very dry skin, spreadable yet thick enough for >~12hrs protection, no parabens used as per tag, great ingredient list - tea tree oil, sheabutter et alCons: Price/MRP slightly higher than competing productsHave not tried during light summers & don't intend to use any lotion during heavy summers, of course, but looks like that for oily skinned people who live in warmer climates this one may not be ideal, at all, being oil based & thick & all that. For me, it's a clean 5 Stars product especially at the discounted 250rs/bottle deal price that they used to give it for a few months back.Used to fall back on time tested Pond's Cold Cream for very dry skin treatment during winters - it's top choice even now for skin nourishment being oil-based & perfectly thick & effective. However being primarily a face cream, it is not easily spreadable and hence not easy to apply over the whole body. And, as for lotions other than cold cream from the Pond's brand, they were mostly milk based and not doing the required work on the skin in winters. Hence, was searching for a replacement oil based body moisturizer when I hit upon DVence body moisturiser (also a few more, compared below, towards the end of this review). The 'winter edition' tag did half the trick in tempting to give a trial attempt & it turned out quite good & kept those cold climate dry skin itches far way this past winter.The Parabens free, mostly natural ingredients tag is a big plus too.The smell is a strong lemony & kind of piercing teatree oil scent. It might prove to be a bit too strong especially for people who are allergic to artificial fragrances - if you have one or have anyone around with one, you might be in for some nasty sneezes & watery noses. Hope DVence toned down the fragrance to something subtler at least before next winter. Again a more toned down fragrance is the mark of better brands for e.g. Biotique body moisturiser or better still Nivea lotions. Nivea seems to do the best on most part of almost zero strong or artifical fragrance, quality stuff.In comparison with other brands of winter/very-dry-skin-compatible lotions that works, found Dvence to be comparable in effectiveness to Pond's Cold Cream, Biotique Biowintercherry Lotion, Nivea Moisturizer for Very Dry Skin, maybe in that very order - & it's saying something for a relatively new brand in India. Biotique is probably more 100% natural & soft fragranced & less cost per ml, followed by Nivea. Pond's & DVence MRPs are comparable @ >1Re/ml & higher than Nivea & Biotique. DVence deal prices only put it slightly better on price scale but still not competitive with Nivea/Biotique.Will definitely go for it if DVence next winter too, if they keep the product at a competitive price. It's Pond's cold cream for face, arms & feet & DVence winter edition for the rest during winters.

I am using the St D'vence winter edition for the third time now, to help me deal with the dry skin syndrome of my legs and hands. I apply it twice a day, after bath. The product indeed works well, better than many other brands in the market. It has a very silky and luxurious feel.And you feel good that it has so many wonderful natural ingredients: Shea butter, almond oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil for moisturizing and the wonderful tea tree essential oil for its antiseptic, antibiotic and anti-fungal properties. And before you know, this product will become a trustworthy companion!The only complaint that I have is that the perfume is distinctly feminine; as a male I find it a bit irksome to smell like a woman for an hour after applying the lotion. While women will relish the fragrance, some men may turn away. It will be great if the manufacturer can opt for a neutral unisex fragrance !

HI THEREI have a sensitive & a bit dry skin so very choosy in buying any beauty product.I have been using ST DVENCI winter edition moisturiser for the past several months now.I'm going to share my experience & personal views on this product &of course that might vary from one customer to the other .BOTTLE PACKAGINGBottle looks neat & attractive with a pump.But, as many customers pointed out the last 40 ml of cream is below the pump & getting it out is nuisance & irritating.WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOTTLETea tree ,jojoba & vitamin E oill ,shea butter, alovera are some of the main ingredients.The cream is thick, creamy and spreads real quick on the skin.No sticky / oily feel.The fragrance is extremely pleasant.WHEN TO USE?Ideally after bath when our skin is still moistIS IT EFFECTIVE?Personally for me very effective.My skin looks soft, supple & thoroughly hydrated. It nourishes my skin from deep inside.Real quality product.Many reviewers have written how this is ideal for winter & for dry skinned people.According to me this moisturiser is also extremely suitable for MATURE SKIN (above 38+) I'm 40+ & by far this is the ideal cream I have ever come across.ANY NEGATIVES?Apart from the pump that doesn't allow the last 40 mls of cream out,none.FINAL WORDThick ,fragrant cream. Easy to use.My skin simply responded very well to this product.One can feel how well it nourishes the skin with in 3 to 4 days of usage.300 ml botte lasts approximately 45 to 50 days .(moderate use)Would I recommend this if you are interested in buying? Most certainly yes! Would I buy again? Yep.In fact i have already purchased 3 bottles.REVIEW UPDATE ON 24.02.2020My fourth bottle has a pump that's lengthier than the previous ones. Now, the cream can be pumped almost fully. I would like to give full credit to the manufacturers for listening to the consumer's feedback, act & increase the length of the pump. A simple but very effective improvement. Well Done!One more thing- this cream is no longer for very dry skin people but for dry skin. The difference is now, it doesn't give long hours of moisturizing effect like before.HOPE THIS REVIEW IS USEFUL TO YOU

It is an excellent moisturizer. Costly but works well for the purpose.

For someone who has very dry skin and a problem with most fragrances (migraine trigger),this one is a good find! Keeps skin from getting flaky and the smell is soothing.The only downside is the pump,I've bought more than 4 bottles now and every time it's a pain to get the last 4-5 days worth of cream, out of the bottle.Please get the pump modified for efficient usage!

This product is very good and it's perfume also likes our family

Good

The product is of excellent quality. It has a pleasant scent. It is also suitable for those with dry skin. I was looking for a lotion that would keep my skin hydrated for longer. Overall value for money product.
