Simply Gorgeous!

by Inny (30 reviews)
Sympathy for the Skin at first looked to me like Vanilla-almond custard! I tried it and was amazed at how quickly it soothes my thirsty dry skin. I use it mainly on my hands, even though its a body lotion (I don't really use body lotions all that much). Sympathy for the Skin smells heavenly - something like a mix of vanilla, almond & sandalwood - and its scent was different for me when I smelled it in the jar that I first got as a sample at one of Lush party promotions, than when I put it on my skin - it smells much better when it's used (at least for me). VERY moisturizing, light, non-gr...02/20/2008

      Moisturizing, but a bit greasy...

      by gottabe_kd (6 reviews)
      I really like the heavy-duty moisturizing that Sympathy for the Skin provides. I primarily use it as a hand lotion, but I will only put it on before I go to bed, or if I'm not using my hands for anything, because it stays very greasy and takes a long time to soak in. I received it as a gift, and while I like it, I don't thi... May 22, 2008, 1:50 pm I really like the heavy-duty moisturizing that Sympathy for the Skin provides. I primarily use it as a hand lotion, but I will only put it on before I go to bed, or if I'm not using my hands for anything, because it stays very greasy and takes a long time to soak in. I received it as a gift, and while I like it, I don't think I'd pay $20 for it. There are many less expensive lotions that are just as effective. May 22, 2008, 1:50 pm

      Smells like heaven

      by RavenLoudspeakr (163 reviews)
      If heaven had a smell, anyways. This is a vanilla-scented body cream. At first it smells a bit like the plastic jar, but that goes away shortly afterward. You get a pretty good sized tub for the amount of money you spend, although I just wish it was a bit bigger. My skin is very dry, and prone to spontaneously exploding int... July 12, 2008, 4:40 am If heaven had a smell, anyways. This is a vanilla-scented body cream. At first it smells a bit like the plastic jar, but that goes away shortly afterward. You get a pretty good sized tub for the amount of money you spend, although I just wish it was a bit bigger. My skin is very dry, and prone to spontaneously exploding into a glorious field of eczema at the first sign of dryness but this moisturized it and kept it happy--in addition to making me smell so good.

      I love this product. Just tried it for the first time. It smells absolutely wonderful. I like the thick texture. It does a great job of moisturing my hands and feet. I will definitely buy this product again.! June 16, 2008, 4:32 am
