Changing the product – The comments read about a new company apparently changing the recipe is a concern, I will give this product one more go, we started using the product when first came to the market, initially we bought it directly via the web, then, we started to buy the product from shops but out of a sudden we can not find it anywhere, the product we want now is… Read more

out of the stock in the company so it is a concern. If the new company deviates from the original recipe they will lose all the customers and will become just another cream like many others on the market A MISTAKE a BIG MISTAKE

Initial impression: Not good – Initial impression: tried some on my face this arvo & my cheeks & nose area tingled & stung for a bit. I will try again but first impression isn't good. Could be the fruit acid content but haven't had time to research into that yet. Will update after a few applications. Show details

It’s not the same product now, stay away – It was good before 2017 but not anymore. I have been using McArthur complete skincare since 2010, just runout of the last bottle which I bought them around 2016 .so I bought a new bottle from eBay this month, at first I thought it was fake!!! Firstly It looks wrong colour white, runny and smells bad. It used to be yellow, thicker and smell… Read more

pawpaw. Then I google online and then find out it now owns by a new company. secondly I doesn’t do a good job to keep my skin feels good anymore.

I will keep away from this brand now.

Not bad – This product is OK and partially works for my aches and pains but it it is way overpriced for what it is. I find there are other papaya creams out there that are far cheaper & work better. My advice is shop around.

Best Facial Cream I have ever used!! – I love, love, love the facial cream!!! I have used it since it first came on the market and have not found it to be any different or diluted in any way. The only thing that has changed is the packaging (for the better in my opinion as it is now in a airless pump bottle which is more hygienic and easier to use). It is a fantastic day and night… Read more

cream. Fast absorbing, super hydrating and ever so moisturising!! I cannot recommend it enough. You have to try it for yourself!

I Used To Buy The McArthur Cream – I used to use the cream and bought in bulk a few years back then I dropped it when Tom McAthur lost control of his company and suggested he didn't know what was in the cream anymore. I noticed the cream used to be thicker than it is these days. I rarely use it now. Was great early on but found it gave me headaches so stopped using the later… Read more

batches of it. I find Osteo Voltaren Gel the best for pain which has been proven in clinical trials to work.

If you want your skin to look better the CSIRO tested all creams and found Vitamin E was the best and far cheaper.

Many creams promise a lot and of the opinion it's the placebo effect in play. Always look for clinical phase 3 or 4 trials before buying anything that claims it can do magical things.

Nourishes Aged skin – My arms were sun damaged, dry with brown age spots. I have been using Complete skin care 60/. for 2 weeks my skin is not dry anymore and the age spots are fading. I'm totally sold on this product. Thank you Tom Mcarther

so far so excellent - complete skincare – I suffer from topical eczema and aggravated heat rash, particularly around very bad stretch marks and csection scar. The scratching particularly in winter and summer can get so unbearable. I have been using prescribed cortisones and steroid creams for decades. I found the mcarthurs cream purely by chance. It was on the sale rack at the… Read more

pharmacy. It justified me buying it despite not having tried it before. I have stopped using the cortisones for 2 weeks now. Itching stopped on first use. Fingers crossed the positives continue.

Once again I am disappointed – I have been using this product for 2 weeks now, I have tried the other McArthur papaya products and have found them to be very average. The title "Natural Facial Creme" led me to believe that this would be moisturizing however I do not find it to be so, in fact is seems to coat my skin leaving it tight and dry. I'm a great believer in Papaya - I… Read more

eat it fresh every morning and find it beneficial for my impaired digestion. I have an eczema-like condition on my hands and itching on my face so was keen for the McArthur products to work and am disappointed that they did not.

September 5th 2015 Update: Further to my previous review

I must add that my product came in a pump action container - I should have known from past experience how inefficient these containers are, there is a lot of waste and they can often give up before the product is all used.

September 22nd 2017 Update:Very disappointed

I was so hoping that this cream would work, I am a great fan of Papaya, eat it every morning for my impaired digestive system, was hoping that this would be good for my mystery rash on my hands, however it made the rash worse if anything.

Lyn 65 - with thanks – The complete skincare cream is FANTASTIC I used it after asking my G.P & Specialist on my chest after having cancer removed out of a old existing scar tissue. This scar was dreadful it was purple, maroon, spider veins which looked like blood, thickish to look at & all in all positively ugly. After 1 application the next morning this scar had… Read more ·  1

blended into my skin covering an implant & all the colours had gone & now after using it twice daily for about a month I just got a report back from a ultra sound & the report reads UNREMARKABLE. I am on my 4th lot now & will continue using it as my medication I am on has given me arthritis & this takes away this pain in my shoulder, neck & hands & I also use a thickish lot when I get a headache/migraine & it DRAWS out the pain from my forehead. My scar has now kinda blended in to the skin & now thinnish to look at & I can,t praise this cream highly enough I just can,t believe what it did after just 1 application. When I do get to Queensland one day I would like to meet Tom McArthur & thank him personally. Note - it also fades brown spots on the hands which I discovered when using it for the arthritis. Thanking you Tom. Lyn65

Brilliant – I have had a skin rash on my knee, tried all the Doctors creams, they took a scrapping , which produced nothing, in desperation I found an old McArthurs Paw Paw cream, the rash is now gone after only approx ten days. Will be looking more closely at these products to use on a continuing basis, I am sold on the product. So grateful

Not worth it - save your money – I had read lots of positive reviews for this product online, and was desperate to treat an embarrassing skin rash on my legs. I bought some expensive cream and tried it over a number of days and was very disappointed with the results given the extremely large number of one-sided "miracle" reviews out there. This product has the feel of a scam… Read more

about it, and it smells bad too. Save your money and buy something else people. Nothing The price, the smell, the fact it didn't do anything

Multi fix skin cream in one – I have been using the McArthur creams for about a year now, ever since it first was sold to the public. I have used it on cut & insect stings & has help them to heal quickly & the stings are soothed almost straight away. I also use it on my arthritic joints, I have a lot of them & it easers the pain. It's also good for dry & damaged skin. Helps when I'm in pain. Goes a long way.

Unbelievable, you have to try it – My daughter has suffered for 3 years with rosacea and a mask around her face. We have spent a fortune on Dermatologists, Skin clinic, allergy clinic, Herbal Remedies, skin products and medications. nothing was working. A friend told me about Tom Macarthur Paw Paw Products , so i researched it , and rang the company and decided to take a risk on… Read more ·  3

this also. I wish someone had told us sooner. So much money we could have saved and her face is almost flawless now. I use it also and its beautiful product. For skin conditions it is truly amazing. She was at a point, where she did not want to leave the house and i had exhausted every avenue i knew plus our GP had also.Try it, you wont regret it. It actually works
