The old formula in the old packaging was amazing, used it for years until this year when they changed the packaging and then the formula. Smells like sorbolene and is nowhere near as good. A huge shame they changed a good thing then doubled the… Read more
price. TERRIBLE! I've had no choice but to move to Nivea which I'm not overly happy with but better than this.
Follow-up · The old smell was a little florally but not overpowering. I always got comments on how nice i smelt & it was that. The old formula was easy to apply & a perfect consistency, not too thin or thick. It nourished my skin so well. The new one is just another sorbolene in my opinion, smells and feels exactly like that.
Hate the new formula – The old formula was great; easy to apply and had a lovely fragrance. The new formula is not only 50% more expensive but also smells terrible - like those nasty commercial hand soaps that smell like industrial floor cleaner. So I'm left to smell the disgusting industrial floor cleaner scent lingering on my face after applying the moisturiser. Show details
Beware! This product contains four different paraben chemicals and mineral oil. Why not name it “Paraben Cream with Mineral Oil”? Why is it so hard for companies to do the right thing by consumers? Why do companies feel the need to pull stunts like this by putting harmful parabens in their formulas. Your product is now in the bin where it deserves… Read more
to be. If the executives love parabens so much, give it to your wife and children to use. Give it to your elderly parents. Keep it away from us consumers.

A really good moisturiser – A very good winter cream. I think it might be abit thick for Qld humidity in Summer but absorbs well. My face feels really soft and I’m 56. Not sure how it goes under foundation cause my skin looks so good now without it Show details
Love it! Best moisturiser – I'm 51. I have rosacea. My skin has always been oily but the last few months it has become very dry (due to menopause?). I had tried a few moisturisers but they made me break out. So then I tried Redwin Vitamin E and Evening Primrose Oil from Woolworths. It was so cheap, I figured I had nothing to lose if I tried it. It's fantastic!!! I… Read more
can slather it on. My skin was SO dry that it has taken a few days to make a difference, but now my skin is soft and more hydrated. I suspect it will become more hydrated over the next few days. It hasn't "cured" my rosacea but I certainly didn't expect it to. My skin is still quite red at times, but it's not "angry" - it's not red and sensitive and dry. I hope I continue to get the same benefit from this moisturiser as time goes on. For now, I would certainly recommend it to anyone with dry skin. The thing I don't like - the scent is very strong.
Excellent, affordable, economical size, efficient, does the job! – Redwin have a knack for creating no-frills skin care that is affordable, come in economical sizes and simply do the job! This particular cream is a favourite of mine, it comes in a lovely big jar and it simply lasts and last, I use it on hands, elbows, knees and even face and neck. Just wonderful. The scent is perhaps a little too strong they… Read more
could make a fragrance-free version in fact I would like to see a scent-free version. This comes in pump or jar form. I have jars of these all over the house, just a perfect product. It sinks in beautifully, is not greasy and hydrates and moisturises beautifully, I will be repurchasing.
P.S You will often find saintly "Natural" brands like MOO GOO, often pointing out that products like REDWIN are cheap and full of nasties and chemicals. First of all everything is a chemical. REDWIN have always been a long standing consistent Australian brand in the eyes of many consumers and that isn't going to go away, enough with the fear mongering Moo Goo. The ingredients found in REDWIN products are perfectly safe, just ask any toxicologist or Cosmetic Chemist worth their salt!

Needles on your face – Redwin Vit A and E for sensitive skin. Feels like a thousand needles stinging your face. I normally don't do reviews but this stung / burned my face so badly and it's suppose to be for sensitive skin. Please be warned before buying. sample a little on your face before buying.

TOO MUCH CHEMICALS – After a year of applying Redwin Vitamin E cream on my face it just made my acne scars worst . It stretched the acne scars and deepens the scars even more , maybe its due to all the chemical ingredients in it and too much alcohol and parfum which apparently dries up your sensitive skin especially the face.. So do not apply this cream on your face , it will definitely make your acne scars even worst..
Getting better – Can have a better smell for example a lavender or rose scent. I believe this would make a better product. Other than that it is quite a good useful product

Wonderful product ! – I used while having radiation ,after a breast cancer operation ,Absolutely wonderful ——- Not one blister , Have been recommending it to anyone I know who is having treatment.Three years on & I still lather it all over face ,neck & arms ! Show details
Great product! – I have acne and sensitive skin and I have been using proactiv for years but it came to the point where my face felt dry, I purchased Redwin vitamin E with evening primrose oil and my face feels hydrated and I still have not had one pimple!! I'm very happy with this product. I highly recommend it. Great body and face moisturiser and it's not expensive! Show details
Cheap, & works well – I've been buying Redwin Vitamin E cream for a few years now. I was looking around for an effective "cheap" moisturiser to use on my legs after shaving, & also on my hands at nite before bed. This one has been wonderful, & works amazing well. A huge 300g jar, for so little money. I think its just over $4.00, & can be found in Coles & Big W. Not… Read more
sure if Woolies has it, but they probably do.
Made in OZ, too, & this pleases me a lot, as I like to buy Australian whenever I can. It has a very pleasant scent. Not too overpowering.
The only thing I am not keen on with this product is, just like a lot of other moisturisers & shampoos etc, it contains parabens. These chemicals have been proven to be very bad, & should be avoided as much as possible. Its the reason why I choose not to use this on my face. I use Nivea Soft on my face instead. (see my review).
A few years ago, Jennifer Hawkins was advertising this Redwin Vitamin E cream on tv. One reason why I thought I'd give it a go. If she uses it in real life, then its done wonders for her, so it will do wonders for the rest of us! :)
If you are after a cheap, effective, moisturiser, you can't go wrong with this one. It lasts for ages. The jar is nice & chunky as well, & not easy to knock over in the bathroom.
I like it BUT – I purchased this recently and I really like it but I am really disappointed that it is perfumed. If it was fragranced by adding natural oil I wouldn’t mind but it is ‘perfume’ and this puts me off it. It does make my skin feel smooth though I think I’ll stop using it on my face. Great price!!!

The best on the market there is s reason why it works – Primrose oil helps the skin i advise if you have skin irritations dont apply it on the face.see a dermatologists the primoise oil absorbs the skin for a reason it helps the small enxyme on skin smooth and helps lift the collagen and vitsmin E helps it is an antioxident that helps protects the skin from damage from day to day toxins,and helps the mousterier on a much deeper level.i use it and it works wonders
PCOS – I have been diagnosed with PCOS for sometime. I used to have clear skin. However, with this condition, I had massive acne breakout on my cheeks. I have tried many many many products but nothing like this! My acne reduced and I started getting compliments back of my smooth skin! It's cheap and works wonders!!!
Awesome cream – I have been using this cream with the primrose oil in it. It is the best cream. Leaves skin so lovely and soft. It isn't thick so it absorbs into the skin really good after a shower or bath Love it
Love this product – Makes my skin feel so soft. makes my face clear and glowing I can not live without it. My teenage daughter loves it to so lucky it's affordable. Thanks for a great product!!!
This product is the best thing on the market – My goodness what a excellent product recently had a hip opp,staples red raw dry itchy we saw the product in woolies,I dab it on at first then went really soft ,my scare is wonderful now also I went to the excema I got on arms legs ,fantastic I've told lots of people about this wonderful product excellent reviews from them ,and the price is wonderful well done
works soooo good! – my dermatologist recommended me to use this product for my skin allergy, it was like I was having psoriasis. during the first 3 days of my my allergy I used cetaphil moisturizer hoping it can heal the inflammation and dryness(thus itching a lot) but unfortunately it was not.thumbs up to this product, it was not irritating at all. mild enough for… Read more
any skin type.. however, I would recommend to ask your dermatologist first before using any product esp when your skin is super sensitive like mine.
Excellent – Started using this product a few weeks ago and find it excellent. Its a simple, cheap moisturiser but so effective on dry skin. Better than alot of the more expensive brands
Smells great and is thick but does not feel heavy – My legs get very dry and I've found that this product keeps them well moisturised. I also tried using it on my face as I've read that Vitamin E fades away scars and dark spots left by acne by promoting tissue repair. I've been using it for about a week but haven't noticed any difference, though it hasn't clogged my pores or made my skin worse. It smells great and if you're just looking for a moisturiser to prevent dryness, I would recommend it.
Awesome cream .. Best moisturising cream ever found – I was searching for the moisturising cream which is cheap but effective and non greasy . Then I found very good reviews of this product in product review .com and I tried this product and I am completely satisfied with it . It's price is reasonable and it works equivalent to the expensive cream found in the market . Highly recommend this product . Thank you product review

Really, really great – Cannot but agree with other reviewers. This stuff is very good and very affordable. It is light, penetrating and non greasy. If you set out to design a quality product you could use this as a template.
I can recommend this product for all to use and it's a reasonable price – I have tried many products for my skin as its sensitive and they always caused a reaction to my skin . Since finding redwin vitamin e and primrose oil I use it on my face , hands and arms as my skin is very dry . I recommend this product to use its really fabulous . Shirley .
Great for overdue babies! – I use this on my eczema but I used this on my first born who was 4 days over and now my 2nd who was 10days over. It cleared up the dryness and bleeding cracks. It made their skin so soft and smell so good. People always ask me what I used on them. Very happy to recommend. Wish the hospitals stocked it! The tub is thick, non greasy and keeps skin beautiful for hours. Great while pregnant for itchy skin as well.
I haven't looked for another moisturizer ever since – This is hands down the best moisturizer I have come across. I use it all over my body including my face. It absorbs so well, and cleared up any sensitive patches I have on my face due to pollution exposure etc. it doesn't irritate at all and also cleared up my whiteheads, this product is a miracle and best part is, it's hella affordable..I hope… Read more
Redwin never discontinues this product co it's basically the only one that works best for me and if been through so so many products in the past..
Hair & New skin growing on my forearms after years of itching!!!! – I started using Redwin Vitamin E and Evening Primrose Oil mosturiser as a last resort for severe scaring over twenty + years of hay fever rash. Scaring was dark and no hair would grow on my arms and they were always itchy and the only way I could sooth it was to hold it under hot running water, Until I found This amazing product. After nearly a… Read more
year of use and supplying quite large amounts of cream in the evening I can now see new skin coming through the dark scaring that looks like burn scars. An last night I actually found new hair growing on my arms you know something is working when the result brings you tears of joy. Thank you Redwin keep up the great work.
Contains parabens and mineral oil – This product has mineral oil and parabens in it which is very bad for anyone.Check labels and ingredients before buying cheap products
Best moisturiser ever!!! – Used tonnes of products but this is by far the best. Love the texture, love the fragrance, everything at a great price! Highly highly recommend this product :)
Best moisturiser ever! – I highly recommend this product! I've been using this for 3 years and never looked back at other moisturisers' that I used to use. I use it for my face, body and hair! Makes my hair so soft and my face clear. I've hooked my friends onto it and best of all......it's cheap!!
just too perfect – I'm a guy and I only use oil of Olay. But this cream has shifted my loyalties!! Highly recommended. Amazing fragrance (lightly scented) just as I want like Olay! Perfect for all types of skin.
Too good to be true – It had beat my cetaphil moisturising cream! This hydrates my face and keeps it soft not greasy to as i have oily skin. It can be used all over the body on the face too. It is cheap and has vitamin e and primrose oil. It can also be used for people with sensitive skin. Is this the best moisturiser or what? Looking for a moisturiser? I highly recommend this one!
Great product – Ever since I read that vitamin E is useful in maintaining youthful skin by repairing free radicals I knew I had to get a vitamin e cream. I was surprised when I saw the price of this product. It's so cheap, and because I mostly use it on my face it can last me a year or more. It stings a bit if you scrubbed your face before application or have any cuts but it leaves your skin hydrated and oh so soft! Hydrating, cheap, nourishing Stings a tiny bit
Great! – Very useful to have, it relaxes the skin really good and gives you smooth feeling. Happy and my skin not dry anymore. Highly recommended! Show details
Love it – Love the feel. Love its absorption. Love the fragrance. Love the price. Agree that if sunscreen added it would be even better!
