This is brilliant - truly brilliant. People can be easily put off by the consistancy of this product, but don't be fooled - just warm a little between your fingers and apply sparingly to any area of redness, a spot, or a dry patch. I find that spots become less red and disappear sooner, which can only be a plus! It doesn't leave your skin greasy despite the thick texture, it's truly a saviour for hormonal skin - I swear by it. This was one of my first elemis products, and it's a great place to start, it will fit in well with any current routine and will prove to you how fantastic the elemis brand really is.

This is one of my favourite products of all time. It's really light and moisturising but at the same time it's perfect if you suffer fom the occassional breakout. Although it's quite expensive, it's great value for money as it lasts for months. A must buy for anybody with oily skin.

this is a must have product,both me and my daughter use this product on a regular basis.my daughter for her sensitive,spotty hormonal skin,and me to balance redness and sensitivity.this product is als fantastic if you have caught to much sun ,within hours it cools and reduces the heat adn chances of peeling.a musthave for any female of any age...

ELEMIS SOS EMERGENCY CREAM I have been using Elemis products for about a year now and find all of them excellent. But was very impressed with this product in particular. I suffer from breakouts during time of the month but since I have been applying this just on my chin every morning/evening instead of my usual moisturiser I hardly ever get a spot on my chin anymore. It is also excellent for applying to dry rough spots especially the elbows knees etc. I had a very dry scaly patch on my elbow after returning from my summer holiday and although I had tried Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour cream without success, SOS Emergency Cream cleared it up within days. It is a far superior product to Eight Hour Cream which I find actually dries my skin and I would recommend SOS Emergency Cream to anyone with dry scaly patches.

This is a very protective and soothing cream, very different to any other moisturiser I\'ve used. Apply it sparingly in a thin layer over your face and it will keep your skin moist and protected all day. I use this daily with the Elemis Sensitive Cleansing Wash and they are ideal together, very calming for my red and sensitive complexion. Highly recommended product.

This product is lovely. It smells really nice and does the job. I have used it to work on blemishes / redness and it works. Your skin feels lovely when you have used it.

Use this product if you are sunburned. It prevents peeling and turns the redness into soft, tanned skin.
