First Impression & Experience: ★★★★☆

It feels the same as the one I've used before in Australia. The name is Lanolin oil moisturising cream, but it's in lotion form & not oily at all. The fragrance scent is not overly strong. It has medium texture when you pumped out, but once you glide it off, it became transparent & quite watery. It dries off very quickly & doesn't leave any sticky feeling. 

Pros:

• Affordable price with a big tub
• Doesn't dry off sticky

Cons:

• Not occlusive enough
• Used up very fast because of reapplication constantly

Final Thoughts & Conclusion:

I've tried this brand's 250g before when I was in Australia's Autumn season (around June-July 2020) from Big W, QV Melbourne with AU$3.50 (approximately ~RM14). At that time because I just landed in this dry climate country & my body's extremely dry after every hot bathes, this moisturizing cream immediately soothes my skin from flaking & itchiness.

However when I used this in Malaysia with a humid weather in an air-conditioned room, I'm not sure why this gives the same effect at first, but after a few hours, I feel that my feet is still dry, like I've applied nothing on it at all. The occlusivity level is not high enough to prevent moisture loss.

I'm used to always cutting off the bottle
to finish up every last bit of my products 😂

The bottle is very hard so it's very difficult to cut & fold it half.
Since I've been turning the bottle around to finish them up,
there's actually not much lotion left after cutting it open.

Repurchase? ★★☆☆☆

It's a very nice daily moisturizing cream/body lotion but it's not enough hydration for dry to extremely dry skin, especially my palms & feet.
