ELEMIS S.O.S. Emergency Cream

I've worked around Skincare and cosmetics for years and this brand is the only one that has worked on my sensitive skin. Great for all ages. My aesthetician uses it and recommended it. Start early if you can! I thought my skin was oily because I was breaking out all the time so I was drying it out with ALL KINDS of expensive stuff. Come to find out that I'm dry and my skin was over producing oil to compensate hence the acne. Elemis cleared it up in about three months to get all the congestion out. Amazing. It works on ANY type of skin. I got it for my mom and my aunt. It improves the texture of the skin as well! Use it as a moisturizer or a spot treatment.

After years of suffering through drug store facial moisturizers that either didn't combat my combination dry skin, or worked so well I ended up breaking out, I finally was introduced to this product through a spa; I will never be going back. Elemis SOS cream is a thick, yet absorbable, moisturizer with a texture like whipped honey. With a pleasant lavender scent, it is not too cloying for me--and I tend to be sensitive to fragrance. I use it every night as a facial moisturizer, and in the mornings if I'm not planing on putting makeup on shortly thereafter; it can be a little thick right before makeup, and I have noticed that sometimes it causes some issues with tinted moisturizer or foundation staying in place on top of this product. As a moisturizer: phenomenal. As a base before foundation: keep looking if combo/oily skin.

I bought this after reading another review that stated how it helped with rashy skin. I too am getting red blotches that my dermatologist has been unable to identify. Likely it's hormones and stress! (I'm 43) I noticed a difference in my skin right away. The blotches are much less noticeable and my skin tone looked more even. I would recommend applying it at night as It is a bit of a thick creme. I put it on in the morning and found that it was a bit too heavy with my makeup. I do however, live in west central Florida and it is July so possibly it's just the humidity. I bet this creme would be perfect in the winter up north when skin gets dry. It's very moisturizing.

Miracle product in my humble opinion. I use this as my facial lotion everyday and it has corrected any minor skin issues that would normally occur from time to time. Leaves skin smooth and flawless. Be warned: it is quite thick - so be prepared to have a somewhat 'greasy' feel if you use during the day. This doesn't bother me but may irritate others and could simply be avoided if you were to use as a night cream instead.

I can't live without this cream. It really does work. It heals even mosquito bites. Again, a little goes a very long way. I got a sample of this in one of my orders, and I was just relieved to get something the day before my blemish reared its ugly head. So I used it and my skin was perfect in two days.

I originally found this at a high-end spa. It really helps with just about any skin issue with fast healing. It has helped my little ones with scrapes, acne and even dry scaly skin.

This superb product has been discontinued - what a poor decision by Elemis. I have written to ask them why they have discontinued it - no answer. I have written to ask them not to - no answer.

I've used this cream for 10 years, ever since i bought some while on a cruise. It heals everything, wind burnt cheeks, bumps (aka zits) feel it coming on, put some SOS cream on it and it's gone by morning. This is all purpose!!! Love it!
