I've got to be honest, I'm not a fan of the texture when it comes out of the pot, but only because it's just not what I was expecting. It's grainy/crystalised feeling, reminds me of coconut ice! However, make sure your hands are warm, take a garden pea sized scoop and smoosh it in your hands and it soon warms and transforms to a lovely, easy-glide feast for your face and neck. I love that it is truly fragrance free and it really does demolish waterproof mascara. My very reactive skin loves it and feels comfortable and so smooth after use - no reactions, no dry/tight feeling, just happy skin. Love it, thank you Sian.
Can’t recommend this cream enough. I used it myself and the problem area starting visibly clearing after one use! My son then used it for his acne and it also started clearing after one use. Have already recommended to a friend who ordered and has seen the same benefits. Thank you Sian 😍
Has significant calmed my acne and soothed it. Noticable from first use and telling everyone about it!
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.
Amy, I felt every word of this. Thank you for taking the time to share something so personal, especially when you’ve been dealing with flare after flare. TSW is brutal, and the fact that you trusted my cream during the hardest moments… I’m genuinely humbled.
I’m really glad it gave you some relief when your hands were at their worst and that it helped you get through day-to-day things like typing, those small wins matter so much when your skin feels like it’s working against you.
Your trust isn’t something I take lightly. I’m incredibly grateful you found a bit of safety and calm with Obvs and with me. Truly, thank you for sticking with my products through all the trial and error that TSW throws at you.
Love, Sian x
This is now my go to cream. Any other cream doesn’t seem to be absorbed into my skin like this one.
Diane, thank you. Hearing that nothing else absorbs the same way means everything, because that’s exactly what I created it for. I’m really glad it’s become your go-to.
Love, Sian x
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
Pam, this made me smile. I love that your son has been quietly “borrowing” your products that’s always the sign of a good routine I’m really glad they’re keeping your skin soft and hydrated, and thank you for choosing a gift set for him too. Your support, your orders, all of it… I appreciate it more than you know.
Love, Sian 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.
Caz, this is so kind of you to share. I’m really glad the toiletry bag went down well as a gift, and pairing it with the Himalayan soap was such a lovely touch. Thank you for the shout-out on the customer service too that means a lot.
Love, Sian x
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 😁😁
Susan, this absolutely made my day. A whole year of using it and you’ve given the kindest review. I’m so glad your skin is glowing and that it’s become the one thing you stick with. The tree planting and the purity of the formula are things I care about deeply, so hearing this means a lot. Thank you for shouting about it so confidently. 😁
Love, Sian x
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
Tasha, this stopped me in my tracks. What a difference in such a short time. I’m really glad the Intensive Skin Recovery Cream helped your burn settle the way it has. Thank you for trusting me with something so sensitive and for sharing your update. Love Sian x
It melts my make up right off, leaves my skin so soft and smells amazing
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 :)
Love Sian x
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.
Love Sian x
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
Just as expected amazing 🤩 thankuou ❤️
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.

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.
