Terrible customer service – Terrible customer service. I have tried to contact Ego Qv Pharmaceuticals for several days via their website enquiry page and also by telephone, and I cannot get any response? I have an issue with finalising my cart in their online Ego Shop. It appears they have no interest in your customers or their money.
Horrible texture and smell – This product has a weird water like consistency. It’s so runny it drips off before it can be applied. Not too mention what’s going on with the smell ??? Show details
Used to be GREAT but be warned EGO have replaced this with a terrible product of the same name. While EGO are calling it the same product in different packaging it is clearly not. Even the listed ingredients are different. The look and feel has gone thick and GREASY. It is such a shame EGO DESTROYED this once Great Product. Not sure if it was cost cutting or just ignorance but either way it is no longer a good product. Show details

Why have you changed the recipe – I loved this moisturiser and used it daily. This last pump bottle l purchased is so thin and runny it dribbles through my fingers. Come now, please don't water the product down. I have had to change brands . I compared it to the 2nd bottle l have in the spare bathroom Show details
My 7 year old had a bad reaction to QV lotion, but my husband loves the lotion on his skin – My 7 Year Old just has a bad reaction to the lotion. She was crying right after applying the lotion around her chick's/face. I could not understand because my husband loves the lotion and most reviews say is good for kids. Show details
States is ok for contact dermatitis it is not! – Clearly states on website, on box etc that this has been dermatological tested, is suitable for contact dermatitis and now my face is on fire, beetroot red and swallon in pain. The lady from ego phamicticals literally had an argument with me stating all people are different and its my own fault for using it. Even though its for my contact dermatitis. False advertising, misleading, dangerous to use. Show details

Excellent Result – I broke out in a sore rash after the Covid jab, and the dermatologist recommended I use this. I used it twice daily after a shower (and after using their soap-free wash), and the rash cleared up the issue in a matter of weeks. Edit: I also used their creme for the same rash on my face and really liked that too. Show details
Good Gear – I have been using this on my arms and legs every day for the past three weeks. It was recommended by a friend and I was reluctant to try at first because my skin is like me…old,cranky and dry. I am very happy it goes on easy,a little goes a long way making it value for money. Its not oily and my skin feels natural after using it (not sticky) My… Read more
skin looks and feels so much better,also I am no longer scratching myself. It is perfume..lanolin and colour free. I paid $11.69 for 250 mil…I would recommend it to anyone.
One of the 2 best skin creams on the market - period – I have had to use creams on any skin exposed to the sun for decades due to a medical condition. QV Skin Lotion is one of the only 2 really good creams to use on the market (I have tried them all - Cetaphil is the other). The QV is the best at fast absorption in that it very quickly absorbs into the skin, especially the hands, which means I can do things and not have to wait a while. Show details
Negative reviews
Light moisturiser – I love QV cream, so after reading raving reviews I've decided to try this lotion. It is a good product but I found it not as moisturising for very dry skin. It has no scent and it is quite runny. I've tried to use it on my face as well ( I have sensitive skin on my face), it burned and my skin felt uncomfortable with it. So dont use it on your… Read more
face especially if you have a sensitive skin. It is great for the body, especially in summer time as it is very light lotion. It absorbs well into the skin and doesnt leave it greasy. I am currently using mine to moisturise my hands. It works ok, not great, my hands still stay dry after it absorbs. I prefer the cream to this lotion as it doesnt irritate my skin and is very moisturising.
I would like to get a refund of the product – I bought a 1.25L at chemistry wharehouse spending about $17. The sample I used it before was good but the bulky one is very low quality as it is very thin and watery. There is no function to moisture skin at all. I think it just gets too watery when it applies to the skin. I am very disappointed. It is the worst body lotion that I have ever bought!
Love it! – Love the fact it's unscented, non greasy, absorbs really easily, and makes my skin feel great. I have normal (but sensitive) skin and am breakout prone on some areas, particularly in summer, so for me the lotion is perfect. For those who have complained about it being too watery or not moisturising enough - use the cream, that's what it's for!!

Good lotion – I have highly sensitive skin which reacts badly to heat, sunlight and perfumes mainly on my arms, so I have been using this lotion after my shower at night and I must say, even my night time itching on my arms has settled down, somewhat, it goes on easy and you don't need much, it's not thick like some, but it's my go to and must have....now I have tried it. Show details
5 stars – I find most lotions drip off me in the summer heat but qv soaks into my skin very well. And I really love that the products are Australian made/ owned. Show details
Very good for sensitive skin – Very soothing and light moisturising cream. Any kind of skin rushes it will rapairs completely. I recommend everyone who have sensitive skin or suffering skin problems. I personally use QV every day and my skin feels. Thanks QV for such a good product. I love it
Dry skin break through – I have tried quite a few different moisturisers for dry skin that becomes very itchy in winter and very frustrating when they do not work at all. This really moisturises the skin stops the itchiness and helps with the dryness
The Best, ever – My Skin specialist said I had to use this lotion, and slaver it all over my body, morning and night. Which I did till the itchy patches calmed down, and now I use it after my shower each day. Even the podiatrist said I had nice feet, & I told her I used QV lotion on my feet as well, and she was impressed.
The greatest affordable lotion for face and body – I have oily skin and very light acne. I use it for both my body and face. It has a very light texture and absorbs within less than a minute. I think it is best to use, straight after a shower to close your pores. It doesn't sting my skin at all, no fragrance. Its good for my face which is also a little bit sensitive. If you have light sunburn it… Read more
does help soothe your skin. It doesn't agravate my acne, I think my acne varies from season to season. I have only started using it in the begining of Summer 2016. I feel this is my go to lotion in Summer, since my skin is quite oily. Really this is a good lotion for face and body.
This is perfect! I cannot live without it – I absoultely love this skin lotion. The only thing that I would say to improve the product is to make it the slightest bit thicker so that you don't have it to apply so much to your skin. The lotin has a great scent and is very mositurising! It is perfect to use in the summer when the cream version really isn't ideal because of the hot weather.
Great on eczema prone skin – My mum bought it for my daughter (8 months) because she has eczema pretty much everywhere and is super itchy. She brought it over with Pinetarsol bath oil to help soothe her skin. I was really skeptical about this product, because everything that I was given to help my daughter's skin were thick or oily. So heavy creams, balms, ointments (I've… Read more
tried Mustella, Dermeze ointment from the products I can remember)
I love this product because it sinks into the skin quickly, while effectively moisturising. It doesn't leave a greasy residue, I can dress her straight after and not have to wait for the product to dry. It seems to soothe any irritated area, and I've noticed that she's stopped itching 85-90% of the time. Her skin is incredibly smooth for her, she's never had smooth skin unless we are using steroids. So this stuff has really impressed me, and I've only had it for a week.
Only Relief I've Had – This is by far the best relief for myself. Today I scratched so much that my skin weeped and every nerve hurt. The heat has agitated my eczema from my right hand to the left, my neck, chest, feet and now my face. I scratched to the point of inflammation, I couldn't bear it any longer so I go to see the doc whom prescribes the usual creams. I… Read more
walked into the chemist tonight and thanks to the chemist who suffers from the same she suggest QV. I have instant relief I have also just taken some telfast the green one to help minimise the itch and I can't wait to have a good night sleep.
QV skin lotion has kept my skin from drying and itching straight away. I have tried goat milk wash and it just dried my skin out more and it was stinging my weeping skin so that didn't work and a waste of cash, pawpaw was still itching it, barrier cream was no relief and just the same and not to mention many other products. QV seems to work for me and I was at the end of my tether today. Every summer I suffer from ezcema or if I wear fake jewelry or certain perfumes. I am so happy I met someone who suffered from the same condition and was able to give me sound advice. Now I'm off to use my QV gentle wash. Hooraayy!!!

perfect for sensitive skin – I have eczema problem for years, and tried tons of products. QV lotion works best for me. It is not thick as others and the skin absorbs easier. definitely recommend this product
Very good product – I bought the container from towradgi gold cross chemist as it was great value and found it to be just as good as the qv cream plus I liked the pump pack it's great / I would totally recommend the qv moisturiser container pump pack to anyone Show reply
Works a treat – Finally! With reasonably dry and easily irritated skin I just love this lotion. It soothes, it's not greasy and just seems to be the right balance for me. Currently pregnant, I use it twice daily and also on my face. My skin hasn't been this nice in years. Thank you! Bubba will be getting the qv experience too.
Use this stuff every night before bed – I bought a large pump bottle of this stuff to use before bed - I'm trying to fade stretch marks. I like that the pump bottle lotion is thinner compared to the QV in the pot which is what my mum uses on her face. It isn't oily or heavy so I don't feel all clammy like I do when using conventional moisturisers like cheap Sorbolene. I like that it… Read more
has no fragrance, everything these days seems to be scented and I get a bit overwhelmed by it.
Was going to test out a different cream last time I ran out of QV but it ended up being the most cost effective so I didn't. Not oily or sticky, thin enough for the body
Not as good as it used to be – My family used QV for past 5 years now, and it was the best lotion and washer that we ever used, However since last year the lotion is getting thinner and very watery. I hope the company can review the quality of the product, otherwise your customers starting to shift to other products. quality of the product is getting worse
Excellent – This is the best lotion I have came across. We had used Johnson&Johnson for our baby(2 yrs) and it caused rashes. The chemist then recommended QV and its was fantastic, all the rashes disappeared in a weeks time. Definitely recommend this product Bought it from the Chemist Warehouse in Adelaide. Smooth, No Harmful Ingrediants
Great for newborn – My newborn was overdue and had really dry, cracked and bleeding skin. I tried oils and baby lotions but it was very slow in improving. The chemist recommended Qv lotion and the results were almost instant and within a week her skin is baby soft and beautiful! And it was cheaper than all those fancy creams. Fixed dry skin, inexpensive, safe for everyone
A better choice for sensitive skin – I have a extremely dry and itchy skin. And have tried so many lotion to fix it but mostly they just dried my skin more terrible. But not with QV skin lotion. It is very moisturizing and doesn't leave any greasy feeling.after applying it. It is really do the job. Easy to apply, absorb as soon as you apply to your skin. Little bit runny as a lotion.
Not for me! – Have used QV wash for years and really like it. Really didn't like the lotion, it was really thin and watery. My skin didnt feel smooth and soft at all. Definitely not for me thin watery, didnt feel nice at all
Excellent – It is unscented, so I would recommend it for someone who doesnt mind that aspect. It works pretty well when I have used it as a moisturiser. It basically does what it says it will do. This product was recommended by 2 friends from work for my mum because she had extremely dry skin due to certain medications. It actually worked for her and now… Read more
thats all she uses. It is a bit more expensive when compared to the usual brands, but if you buy the 1 litre size, its pretty good value especially if you can find it at the cheaper chemists most of the time.
Excellent – I have to admit I love QV and this lotion is fabulous it is light andyet does help with skin problems such as redness and exzma and so forth,, it also just moisturises the skin, it is slightly more than you would pay from a supermarket lotion but it healthier for the skin, andif you used it daily it may ward of breakouts of things like my exzma,… Read more
or make them minimal. I have tried many creams and other items and i have to say this one come up to standard really easy. This skin lotion is light and yet it leaves the skin soft and looking healthy. There wasnt anything I disliked about it.
