I'm a bit late reviewing the Intensive Skin Recovery Cream, but I've had a second flare since I originally was going to review, and I think now is the perfect time write about my experience. I suffer with TSW and while I'm on medication to help keep me stable, I use a mix of the absolute bare minimum and only things I trust if needed. Obvs Skincare is one of those latter things. The winter months are horrible enough for general eczema/skin problem individuals, and this year has been especially hard due to my condition. My hands and fingers have been in agony, and this cream gave me a lot of relief while I wanted to cry in pain. A mix of the cream on my fingers paired with cotton gloves has made typing at my desk at work and at home a lot easier, and just made things a lot more easier to manage. I cannot begin to express how grateful for this cream I am and Sian and her business. Navigating what does and doesn't work for my skin through my condition is an absolute minefield and traumatising at the best of times, but Obvs makes me feel safe. I cannot recommend this cream and Obvs Skincare in general enough.
This is now my go to cream. Any other cream doesn’t seem to be absorbed into my skin like this one.
Absoloutley adore these products, they leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated, have bought my son a gift set for Christmas as I noticed my products bring used up by him on the sly 🤣 will continue to be a customer, great products great prices great customer care x
This is a lovely, nicely made toiletry bag.
I purchased it as a gift for a friend and she said she loved it. I put an Obvs Himalayan soap inside and she was very happy. Thank you to Sian for her wonderful customer service.
I have been using this fabulous cream for nearly a year now and have waited to write a review until I was 100% certain. My skin is radiant, soft, blemish free, it even helps with wrinkles, everyone tells me my skin is lovely. I will never use anything else, it is pure, good for the planet and I plant a tree every time I purchase . It's a win win all ways round. I would 100% recommend to everyone 😁😁
I was so so worried this burn was going to scar and thanks to your magic intensive recovery cream, I am so so happy with how it's healed ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭 xxxx
Thank you so much for your review. I’m really glad the cleanser is melting your makeup away and leaving your skin soft. The scent is a little bonus. Grateful you took the time to share this.
Thank you :)

Absolutely loving this moisturiser, my skin was getting really oily which was making me very self conscious, but this has worked wonders and leaves my skin looking fresh and not oily.
Thank you so much for your review, Emma. I’m really glad the Naked Moisturiser is helping balance things out for you. Feeling fresh instead of shiny is such a confidence boost and I’m grateful you shared this.

This is my second purchase of the wonderful Organic Rosehip Oil. A little drop of magic which leaves my skin hydrated, smooth and soft to the touch.
Thank you so much for your review. I’m really glad the rosehip oil has earned its place in your routine. Hearing that it leaves your skin hydrated, smooth and soft means everything.

I recently had a baby, plus going in to the winter & the heating being on my skin has never been dryer! This was exactly what it needed, thank you OBVS x
Thank you so much for your review, Zoe. New baby plus winter skin is a brutal combo, so I’m really glad this gave your skin the comfort it needed. Honestly means a lot that you took the time to say so.

I searched high and low for a face mask that was suitable for acne and eczema and with minimal ingredients. This one has been great so far. Hoping to get the bowl and everything to go with it soon x
Thank you so much for your review, Emiliee. I’m really grateful you’ve found a mask that works for both acne and eczema because that search can be exhausting. I’m glad this one is helping your skin feel calmer. When you get the bowl and bits it turns into a really lovely little ritual doesnt it :)

I love these brushes. They are compact and fit in my make up bag. Such a great price too. Grab some quick! Would make a lovely gift too!
Thank you so much for your review, Vanessa. I’m really glad you’re loving the brush set :) handy, tidy, and actually useful is exactly what we all need in a makeup bag.

Hi Sian,
Absolutely love your magical pot of poison ✨️ initially bought this for my husbands suffering skin but this is now a staple in our cabinet. My teenage son had one pimple, lol and he applied this in the evening and the next day the aggression had disappeared and gone a few days later . Love, love love this as I am try slowly to eradicate toxic products in my household for my families health . So glad we found you brand . Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for your review, Nicola. Your message genuinely made me smile. I’m really glad the ISRC has become a proper household staple from your husband’s skin to your teenager’s lone dramatic pimple (they do love to make an entrance). It means a lot that you’re choosing my formulas while cutting out the toxic stuff at home. I’m grateful you found my brand too.

I came across this company after years of trying to find products that would help my dreadful ezcema - I used so many prescribed creams/soaps/ ointments inc Steroids but nothing truly helped me until I used this soap - it makes my skin so softer and I have had no allergic reaction to it
I still have a way to go but will be re ordering and trying new products
Sian is a delight and can’t do enough to help you - try the brand as you truly will no be disappointed
Thank you so much for your review, Melanie. I’m really glad the soap has finally given your skin some relief after everything you’ve tried — eczema can be absolutely brutal. Hearing you’re softer and reaction-free is honestly the best feedback I could ask for. I’m here anytime you need help figuring out what to try next.
Love Sian x
Thank you so much for your review, Alison. I’m really glad you’re loving the rosehip oil — it’s such a gorgeous little glow booster. Your support means everything.

Does exactly what it says on the tin:) Bought this along with the cleanser for my daughter who has quite bad acne. It has totally helped and her skin is clearing. Im going to encourage her now to use this all the time. Amazing results.
Thank you so much for your review, Anne. I’m really glad to hear your daughter’s skin is clearing — that’s such a big confidence boost when acne’s been giving her grief. It means a lot that you’ve trusted my products with her skin.
Love Sian x
I was recommended this by a friend for my daughter as she struggles with acne. I bought this and my goodness what can I say....her skin is in recovery her spots are disappearing. AMAZING AMAZING
Thank you so much for your review, Anne. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear your daughter’s skin is finally getting some relief. Watching those breakouts settle is huge, and I’m genuinely grateful you trusted my formulations for her.

This is my go to autumn/winter moisturiser when my skin really suffers with the cold weather and central heating! Leaves my skin feeling hydrated and looking dewy and radiant.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Charlotte. I’m really glad the Naked Moisturiser is giving your skin what it needs through the cold and central heating. Dewy and radiant sounds perfect.
Love Sian x
Brilliant for my son’s ezcema prone skin! The wooden soap dish looks nice in the bathroom. Long lasting too.
Lynsey, thank you! I’m so happy to hear it’s helping your son’s skin — that’s exactly why I made it. And glad you love the wooden dish too, they look lovely together don’t they? Thank you so much for your review, love Sian x
Bought to try and help my babies eczema. Only been using a few days and can already see a difference. Lovely texture and baby is super happy when I’m applying it. Thank you x
Natalie, this is so lovely to read. thank you. I’m so glad your little one’s skin is already showing improvement. The Intensive Skin Recovery Cream really is a bit of magic for sensitive skin. Give that happy baby an extra cuddle from me Love Sian x
I have had acne for as long as I can remember...I have tried a lot of cleansers and moisturisers in that time! I decided to get the Obvs organic cleanser-fragrance free, naked fragrance free moisturiser and intensive skin recovery cream. They all are lovely on my skin! The cleanser is incredible, my face feels so clean afterwards without any irritation or redness! My skin is so much calmer. Ive seen a massive improvement so far and cant wait to try the rosehip oil to try and help with some old scarring. Thank you Sian!🫶🏻
Amy, this is such a lovely review!! thank you. I’m so happy to hear your skin’s feeling calmer and clearer, that’s exactly what we aim for. You’re going to love the Rosehip Oil too, it’s a game changer for scarring. Thanks for sharing your journey (and for trusting me with your skin)
This little bar comes beautifully packaged, so is ideal for a gift. In our household, we use it for hand washing, it lasts for ages and stays fairly solid, even at the basins used really frequently (though I do use a draining soap dish). It's really pleasant to use, with no fragrance so won't aggravate any skin problems. The water here is quite hard, but it doesn't leave a layer of murk on the basins to clean off as other soaps do. The best bar of soap I've come across.
Faye, this is such a lovely review thank you. I’m so glad you love the soap as much as I do. It’s amazing how something so simple can feel like such a treat, right? Thanks for noticing the little details and for supporting Obvs.
I've been using this cream for over a year now. I started using it as I had started having bad breakouts on my face and nothing helped until I found this cream. I use it daily with the moisturisers and cleanser. I've used it for dry skin, insect bites and many other things. I've recommended it to family and friends. My dad has recently started using it with the moisturiser to help with dry skin patches on his face and neck. I'm so glad I've found Obvs skincare, ot changed my life!!!!
Ahh Liesl, this made my day. I’m so happy our Magic Cream has been such a game changer for you (and now your dad too!). It’s amazing how one little pot can do so much. Thank you for trusting Obvs with your skin — and for spreading the word. You’re part of the Obvs movement now
Thank you so much Kim and thanks for leaving me a review. I am so happy you love the cleanser and that it feels so hydrating and smells divine. It means a lot to know you would not use anything else now. Love Sian x
I wanted a nice cleanser that melted away your make up and oh boy does this do the job- even with waterproof mascara. My face feels clean and glowing after I use it and plus a little goes a long way!
Thank you so much Lynsey and thanks for leaving me a review. I am so happy the cleanser is working so well for you and even taking care of waterproof mascara. I love that it leaves your skin feeling clean and glowing and that a little really does go a long way doesnt it. Love Sian x
