Pai Cream for Dry Skin Reviews


Review of Pai Skin Cream for Dry Skin
By Gill M.

Packaging The sample of Pai Macadamia & Rose Cream comes in a small transparent jar with a white lid. (The full size cream comes in a transparent glass bottle with a pump dispenser, in a recyclable box.) The packaging of Pai Skin Cream for Dry Skin is simple but stylish and tasteful. The Pai logo (black lettering incorporating a leaf) looks elegant. The text used on the bottle and the box is easy to read.


Application As someone who suffers from dry skin, particularly during the winter months when the weather and central heating seem to suck all of the moisture out of my skin, this cream was a great find! Pai Skin Cream for Dry Skin is a rich organic, moisturiser (even suitable for sensitive skin) with a lovely light, natural fragrance. The texture of Pai Skin Cream for Dry Skin is rich and comforting and it is absorbed easily by my dry skin without feeling sticky or blocking my pores. Pai Macadamia and Rose Face Cream can be used both as a day cream and as a night cream. Anyone who doesn’t have dry skin may find this nourishing cream a little heavy for day use, but may still enjoy using it as a rich night cream.


Ingredients Pai Skincare products are made from pure, natural, plant-based ingredients and are preservative-free. Pai do not use artificial colours, artificial fragrances, formaldehyde, mineral oils, parabens (or other synthetic preservatives), petrochemicals,
phthalates or sodium lauryl sulphates. Pai’s products are all formulated with sensitive skin in mind. Hand-made in small batches, they are so fresh a ‘Best Before’ date is stamped on every bottle. Although Pai’s products have a short shelf life (approx. 6 months), I have absolutely no problem with that, as I know it is because their products are natural and don’t contain chemical nasties. (Plus a bottle of this moisturiser is unlikely to last me that long!) Pai’s skincare line is certified by the Soil Association. The ingredients are written in both Latin and English so you know what exactly they are. The ingredients of the Pai Macadamia and Rose Dry Skin Cream are mainly organic and include: rose water, macadamia nut oil, apricot kernel oil, a corn-based emulsifier, thistle oil, shea butter, vegetable-based glycerine, borage oil, vitamin e, manuka oil, rosemary antioxidant, frankincense, rose geranium, and rose essential oil. Many of these ingredients in Pai Skin Cream for Dry Skin are known for their rejuvenating, nourishing and restorative properties. This cream is also suitable for vegans.


Results As I have dry winter skin right now, I found this Pai Macadamia Face Cream rich and nourishing. Pai Skin Cream for Dry Skin absorbed quickly without leaving a film on my skin. My skin feels soft, smooth and hydrated. In the summer, when my skin isn’t quite so dry I would use this cream as a rich, thick night cream. I will definitely buy it again.

Pros: Very hydrating. Nourishes my dry skin.
It is excellent for sensitive skin.
Beautiful, subtle fragrance.
Little goes a long way.
Gentle enough to use on the delicate eye area.
Can be used both as a day and a night cream.

Cons: Unless you have dry skin, it is probably too rich to use as a day cream.
· Would probably have to use as a night cream only in the summer.
