I have really really sensitive and dry skin. I have used really expensive products to try and help my skin they usually make me break out or make me have rashy skin, and QV Skincare is great. I use it twice a day, in the morning and night. The product is fragrance free and I would recommend this product to anyone with sensitive or dry sin.
Sarah Gough, Age 28, Sydney 
Plain and simple,…my skin has always been sensitive, acne prone, dry and flaky. I had been using another product and within a few days, experienced some itching/redness and also noticed I still had very dry skin. Then I did the test drive for QV Cream, this is my second week using the product and I have noticed a dramatic difference in the texture and feel of my skin. The dry skin has almost completely disappeared. I do believe this product really does work.
Kelly Bussey, Age 35, Melbourne 
My skin is pretty normal skin so the QV Cream was a bit to heavy for my face made it feel oily and greasy, but I really loved using it on my body, especially my hands, feet and elbows. After a week made my skin feel smooth and soft.

Thanks for all the stories on trialling QV Cream. This is one product I am passionate about. Even though I work on the QV skincare brand I always avoided the QV cream because it was well a cream (thickish), until I had my baby and started using it on him. Since I am addicted and it’s the best thing for all over body, I love it! I wouldn’t use it on my face as it’s not really designed for that purpose, unless you have a really dry, itchy skin condition.
During my years at Ego, the feedback from Customers, Aquaintances, Friends and Family alike is always Excellent product. Keeps skin moisturised, soft, hydrated and has even cleared up certain dry skin condtions that Dermalogogists couldn’t help with.
I personally carn’t live without it! Love it!I wouldn’t go anywhere without it.
This is part of my daily routine – coupled with QV Gentle Wash gives me the most beautiful skin!
I keep this product handy all the time for my dry elbows.
I love the way QV cream makes my skin feel.
Everyone I love uses QV
QV is best for me.
Qv cream helps me repair my dry skin
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
Hello everyone thanks for
good information.
hi everybody
just signed up and wanted to say hello while I read through the posts
hopefully this is just what im looking for looks like i have a lot to read.
I am a nurse and wash my hands frequently during the day. I take it to work with me and use it often. My hands have never looked or felt so good. I didnt find it oily and would definitely purchase this product
I have very sensitive skin but this product was lovely. It’s not greasy and doesn’t have an overpowering fragrance like some creams and it has made the skin on my hands and elbows feel velvety and soft.
i used the cream and at first it was great it gave me really soft skin and wasnt greasy at all. i might be the only person to have this happen but in the space of about 24 hours i developed a very uncomfortable allergic reaction. my skin was quite red and swollen. and there was a burning sensation. i knew it was the cream because it only happened in the places i put it. ive never heard of this happening to anyone else so its possible i just had an allergy to one of the ingredients.
HI Sarah,
Can I please ask you to get intouch with our customer service either through email ask@egopharm.com.au or via phone 1800 033 706 and report your symptoms. This is very unusual for our QV Cream so we would love to hear from you and try and work out what is going on? LoveQV
My hands always feel a bit drier in winter and this cream has done wonders for my hands. I would definately recommend this cream for dry skin.
As a nurse who is constantly washing her hands, I found QV cream very nourishing without leaving an oily feel. I found it too heavy for my face but it was suitable to use on the rest of the body.
I too have always had sensitive skin but never really used much on it due to so many flare ups from other products. When I had my first daughter and she too had very sensitive skin the specialist recommend qv cream. I have been using it on myself and my daughter and we have seen great improvements in our skin I would recommend it to anyone!
It was great particularly for my elbows. I used on my legs and arms and have continued to use it.. I used it on my kids after their baths, again even for kids it was great. HIghly recom’d this product – QV Cream
Shortly after I applied the QV cream for the first time, I noticed a marked difference in the appearance of the skin on my arms, hands and legs. I have kept using it twice a day, and my skin has remained extremely hydrated, which is fabulous as I have Sjogren’s Syndrome, and the skin on my ams and hands, tends to become extremely dry and flaky-looking. I always also have very dry skin on my legs in winter, which always become itchy especially in bed at night. No more! I tried it on my lips with the same result and am going to try it on my face as well , as I purchased the QV Face moisturiser, but found it far too oily, and experienced terrible, lumpy breakouts over my face, even though it is listed as being non-comodogenic. It is great too that this QV cream is non-fragranced, as I am intolerant to fragrances. I aim to keep using it, but just need to buy it in a larger quantity!
Loved! Loved! Loved the QV cream. It was great on my elbows and hands. In fact I became a little bit obsessed and started rubbing the QV cream into the kids as well. My youngest has really dry skin and the QV cream worked a treat. For such a thick cream it offered great absorbency and left our skin feeling soft without being greasy. A product suitable for all of the family. Thanks QV for giving me the chance to use your product – you’ve definitely won my support.
QV cream is really easy to apply, it abbsorbs well and doesnt feel greasy. I use it on my hands and dry legs. Being fragrance free you could use it all over your body and it wont clash with any perfume you wear. Thanks for letting me try this, was very happy with it.
I’ m currently blogging for a (poor) living for someone else… but I like it. You’ ve inspired me to keep doing it, and look to doing it for myself soon
I really liked this product, i actually used it as a night cream on my face and honestly woke up with silky skin. love it! thanks for posting it out!
Interesting theme, I will take part.
The QV cream is fantastic, My son suffers from atopic eczema and very itchy skin, This cream has improved his skin and he is scratching way less, the redness behind his elbows and knees has improved.. His skin is feeling less drier than usual. Thanks so much for posting it out, will keep you posted as time go by………………..
Hi friend How are You ? I like your post and i want to stumble it for my friend but i cant see your social bookmark widget in this blog. Please help me admin Thank You Steven
Thank you for the opportunity to test the QV cream. My whole family has used it – myself, my husband and my children. We all have dry skin in one form or another and have found this cream works well. It works great when used in conjunction with the bath oil and the bath wash. QV has turned out to be a godsend for my 8 year old sons skin, as he suffers from eczema and we struggle to find products that do not irritate his skin. Thanks again and I look forward to testing further products in the QV range.
I suffer from dry skin and have tried countless creams, but nothing works as well as QV. My dry hands and elbows are a thing of the past!
I loved this product so much that 3 days after my first tube I had to go and replace it because i had run out already! It is a fantastic moisturiser that doesn’t leave you feeling greasy or like you have a thick layer of cream on you. It absorbs into the skin really well leaving you feel moisturised but not dirty.
I convinced my mother to try it as she suffers from quite irritating psoriasis and she too has fallen in love with it. She has tried heaps of different moisturising creams for her skin and this one doesn’t irritate or inflame the problem.
I use it as an all over body moisturiser and just love it! I would very highly recommend it to anyone.
thanks for sending me some QV cream, i have never used it before but can honestly say it is the best cream i have ever used. i have really noticed how dry my skin has become this winter, i don;t know if it is because i am getting older but the QV cream came just in time to help. it is absorbed really well and my skin felt softer and smooth straight away. i have recommended it to my friends and family and am throwing away all the other creams i have. just before i tried this cream i had been using a cocoa butter cream and found that it caused irritation, which of course the QV does not.
someone above suggested using it as a night cream which i will also try,
thanks again!
Tried QV cream. At first it felt pretty nice and i thought it was doing and alright job but then it didn’t really soak in so felt a bit oily. Also my dry spot was still there after 4 days so i used another product and that got rid of it in one day.
need some more convincing on QV. Maybe the washes will be better for me?
I have very dry skin (particularly on my feet) and I love the QV is a thick, super-absorbant cream that quickly repairs my skin and nourishes it at the same time! QV is fantastic if you have very dry skin and want a quick result!
Great Cream – would buy again for myself and bub
I absolutely love this cream. I suffer from eczema on my hands but using this cream everyday is keeping my hands soft and smooth and keeping the eczema at bay. I also use the qv face cream everyday, keeps my skin smooth and protected from the sun without leaving it oily. I also use the qv wash for my entire body and my kids as an alternate to soap. I definately recommend this cream to anyone, not just for sensitive skins. Thanks!
Really like QV Cream, great especially for dry elbows. I noticed a huge difference after using this cream after a couple of days. Brilliant!
Very effective moisturising cream. Left my skin feeling soft and supple for the best part of a day, when applied in the morning after a shower. Not too thick so is easy to spread and rub in. I usually have quite dry elbows and this cream was effective in elimating the dryness there. Also worked very well as a handcream.
QV Cream was quickly used by my Twelve year old daughter, Who is suffering vey dry skin at the moment.She loves it,As she says it does not smell and is quickly absorbed, So she feels fresh after her shower not sticky ! Great stuff.
I have fine mature skin so Winter time means sore uncomfortable conditions for me! I started using QV cream recently and bingo, no soreness. What a great product. Thank you!
Such a lovely cream. So thick, but it doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy. I couldn’t use it on my face though, it is a bit too heavy for that. I have recommended it to my friends with children with really dry skin as it is so gentle but very effective. I’ll continue to use this, for sure. Thanks for the opportunity to try it!
This is a really effective product my dry elbows and feet have improved greatly in a short time I will recommend this product to everyone I know …even to people I don;t know good on you QV for making and affordable product that actually works
I take medication which is very drying on my skin. I loved using QV cream as it was easily absorbed and left my hands especially feeling soft. I put it on my hands and then put my gloves on and do the dishes. I find that the warmth of the water seems to help my skin soak it up. I realy like that it has no fragrance and isn’t too greasy. Thank you for the opportunity to test run this product. I will continue to use it.
I was really scared to try this cream as I suffer from Allergies so severe .
I am over the moon because this cream has not bought me out in a rash and I have not scratched at all. It has left my skin so soft and I can’t believe that finally I have found a skin cream that I can and will always use.
These trials or free samples really are a blessing as I don’t have to spend money on products that I end up giving away plus usually a trip to the Doctor to be treated.
Thank you to all concerned.I am one happy customer.
QV Cream is awesome. It has worked a treat on my sons legs, which have mild eczema. He even enjoys putting the cream on himself (like a big boy!!). Thanks Ego, I will stick with QV Cream from now on.
Its my Great Wall of Finer skin! No scents to smell and no cents to spend compared to other less effective ones
Firstly, i’d like to thank QV for giving me the opportunity to try QV Cream. I was really happy when i first applied QV Cream to my dry hands, and they instantly felt softer and soothed. I found the texture of the cream to be light and nongreasy which means no more slippery door handles or car steering wheels. I shared the QV Love with the whole family and all eight of them were impressed with the cream especially my son who used it around his mouth where he had dry skin and it was soothing and protective and stopped him touching the sensitive area. I need a miracle to fix my dry hands( to much hand washing) so far QV Cream is winning the race! Thanks
Tried QV in the tube and really like this way to apply it to the skin, easy as you can just squeeze it out and seems slightly ‘richer’ than the pump bottle? Has anybody else experienced that?
Hi Michelle, you are correct! The pump pack you are referring to is our QV Skin Lotion which is a light moisturiser. QV Cream is a thicker, more emollient moisturiser and still great for everyday use! LoveQV
My skin is dry and very sensitive, over the years I have tried different product brands like Clinique, Olay, Body Shop. After a while I start getting break outs, with QV Cream I havent started getting breakouts till now, so I would say its working for my skin and its fragrance free and non greasy.
I’m currently 4 months pregnant and my skin has been doing some crazy things on me. I’ve been drying out then getting oily, and it’s generally just been a nightmare finding a product that won’t irritate my skin.
QV Cream was gentle and hydrating, soothed all the dry spots and even the eczema I got on my eyelids! Nothing else would work. It wasn’t greasy, absorbed into my skin quickly and didn’t give me horrible breakouts or blotchiness like other creams did.
I’m very impressed and will be sure to keep using this in the future!
I really liked the QV cream – thanks for the opportunity to use and review it! It was great on my elbows, knees, feet and hands. I used it daily, and if I happened to miss out one day, my skin still felt soft and supple and moisturised. I love the long-lasting effect!
My son, who is nearly 10, has dry skin on his legs and this cream was brilliant for him. He didn’t complain about the fragrance or feel of the cream.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well the cream was absorbed, and how my skin didn’t feel oily afterwards.
I loved this cream. Since moving to a new house without carpet and only polished floorboards, I find I am on my knees alot chasing the kids, dressing them etc. I noticed the skin on my knees was getting very rough and dry. QV cream rubbed on every night is solving the problem.
Thanks QV.
My hands and elbows get really rough. I love how the QV cream is really thick because it seems to absorb much better into my skin leaving it soft and smooth. Will definitely make it part of my daily routine.
When I tried this product, my first reaction was that it is a “no nonsense” product. It’s non-greasy, non-smelly, just does the job and for a reasonable price.
I found the QV cream to be ok, but feels it lacks nourishment for the skin.
Using it on my baby’s eczema – there is no visible improvement, and his scratching of his skin still persist.
For someone who has really sensitive skin like myself, QV Cream has offered relief for my skin. Both effective and easy to apply, it is now part of my daily routine. I strongly recommend QV cream to everyone with sensitive skin.
I love and trust QV cream and this time it didn t fail me either. I have a dry sensitive skin , mainly on my hands, and QV seems to be the only cream that replenishes the dryness leaving my skin noticeably softer and silkier. It may not not have the fragnance that others have but it does a wonderful job. Cheers
I think this is wonderful I truly appreciate the informations shared in this post I am going to bookmark this!
I’ve been trialling QV Cream for over two weeks and find it to be a no-nonsense, reliable product. I have extremely dry skin on the backs of my hands (from sunbaking in my younger days) but after applying QV twice a day have found an improvement in the texture and they feel much softer. I’ve also used it on my feet and like the fact it is absorbed immediately without any greasy residue.
I love the cream and use it daily on elbows, neck, shins and knees. My
husband also uses it on the lower legs to stop dry skin. My skin is
sensitive and dry so I really enjoy using the ego QV cream. Having worked
in pharmacy for 10 years I am sold on Ego products.
I totally have the same opinion with you regarding this topic. Nice entry. Already bookmarked for future purposes.
I’m impressed!!! Really informative blog post here my friend. I just wanted to comment & say keep up the quality work. I’ve bookmarked your blog just now and I’ll be back to read more in the future my friend! Also nice colors on the layout, it’s really easy on the eyes.
I really like your site. Very good posts! Please continue posting such awesome cotent.
Love the product on both mine and my baby’s skin. I have always got very dry elbows and using QV has helped that problem… Would recomend to friends and family anytime.
Great post. Thanks!
This is a product that you need to .. have to … WANT TO have around all the time. Non greasy .. absorbs quickly … and it works!! Softer – smoother – hydrated skin – who doesn’t want that!
If you haven’t tried this cream yet … go get some!!
Just thought i would comment and say neat theme, did you code it yourself? Looks great.
My husband and I both found the cream to be very good , I used it on dry elbows and hubby on his arms and wrists as he works with a lot of water and suffers from dermatitis
he said he found it to be softening and relieving
I already used QV body wash and discovered that the QV cream complements this product well.I have flaky skin on my hands and found that this product removed my dry skin and
made them feel very soft. I also tried QV cream as a face moisturiser but it didn’t really hydrate my skin. I will however keep using this product.
Thank you for share very good info.
I like this info presented and it has given me some sort of desire to succeed for some reason, so keep up the good work.
I agree with your post absolutely and I am now interested in reading some more of your posts on your blog and see what you have to say. Do you mind if I tweet your blog post out to my followers on twitter? I think they would also enjoy the blog post. Thanks.
Very informative post. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.
AMAZING CREAM! i have extreamly dry, senetive skin and QV cream makes it feel better the second its applyed!
It is a little oily but overall fantastic! I use it a little throughout the day and alot at night!
Highly recomended to everyone!
QV cream is great.
I goes on nice and smooth and seems to absorb quickly. I used it on my face and neck as well as my arms and elbows and it worked great on every area.
I like that it came in a large tube – it’s easier and less messy to apply than in a tub.
The next time I need to buy moisturiser I’ll be getting QV Cream
This is the only cream that gives me relief of my eczema. I use it all the time I have a tube sitting on my coffee table so its always in easy reach.
Love this product and Love EGO QV
A fantastic product – especially for sensitive, dry skin. My skin feels refreshed and ‘dewy’ instantly after application, and remains that way for hours. I apply it morning and night after showering and my skin feels hydrated and has a glow to it!
have previously been using sorbolene this feels much better on my skin . skin much improved
I have been test driving QV cream and I have really loved the results.
Negatives
I find that it feels a bit oily / greasy when it is initially applied but it is quickly absorbed.
Positives
The cream is magic. It is long lasting and doesn’ t wash off if you apply it and then wash or rinse your hands soon afterwards. I live in Queensland and I am not getting that eczema type itch on my arms( inner elbow area) on humid days and as an interesting side note I have found it helps ease the icth of mosquito/ sandfly bites. I applied the cream to my arms and noticed this early on in the trial. Another family member was badly bitten by sandflies on the legs and we applied some of the cream and while the itching didn’t stop completely, it did ease the itch.
My hands are lovely and soft and I will certainly continue to use this cream.
I was extremely happy with the QV Cream and found a marked difference in my skins dryness. I also have had no allergic reactions to the QV Cream being perfume free. I have had severe reactions to perfumes in the past and cannot wear any perfume sprayed or rubbed on my skin. I will certainly continue to use this product and have in fact reccommended it to my elderly mother who suffers from psoriasis. Thanks for the great product and the opportunity to try it!
As an older person, I am having a bit of trouble with my arms getting rough. I’m wary of a lot of moisturisers leaving my skin too oily. I found the QV Cream soaks in easily and doesn’t leave me feeling greasy afterwards. It helps a bit with the roughness but not a great deal. It would probably be great on younger skin or on the face but on old arms, that previously had nothing much done to them, I will probably take something a bit less gentle to moisturise them.
On legs, it works beautifully after shaving to replace the moisture lost.
QV is great – i have very dry ezcemz patches on my hands and QV is an excellent moisturiser. It is quickly absorbed, its not greasy it doesnt have an overpowering aroma and is very gentle. I use it all through out the day and it keeps my hands soft, prevents the dry patches from being iritated and keeps them nice and hydrated. i would recommend this cream to anyone experiencing dry hands or ezcema. Its a definate must in my cream collection now.
found the cream really easy to apply and great for my dry skin
I have been test driving QV Cream over the past few weeks and have absolutely loved it. It is the first time I have used a QV branded product so was looking forward to seeing how it went with my skin. I do notice that it is a tad oily when first applied, but is quickly absorbed leaving skin feeling soft and full of moisture that feels like it will last.
My partner also suffers from patchy eczema and has really benefited from using the cream.
Overall, highly recommended and am really keen on trying the rest of the QV products.
I had been using another brand which only temporarily moisturised my skin, but with QV, I find my skin stays moisturised all day. My sister has eczema and this has dramatically relieved her itchiness. We will be definitely be recommending QV cream to family and friends!
I’ve been loving QV cream – I’ve been using it all over my body – its helped with my dry knees and elbows, and helped with the eczema around my shoulders and wrists. It truly is amazing and I will continue to use it in the future
Since breastfeeding my hands have been seriously dehydrated leaving them looking dry and leaving them looking like old lady hands. I used QV cream and my hands have never looked better. Thank You !!!
I found the cream too rich and left my skin oily and greasy. It took a while to absorb.
I’ve been test driving QV Cream. It really does replenish dry skin. My skin feels amazing and absorbes it all, definitely not greasy.
Ive been testing QV Cream and I found that its quite amazing. I have sensitive skin, soaps make me itch and I found if I apply QV cream after my shower I dont itch anymore. Its also great after shaving. The only downside of it is the packaging (It looks a little like a toothpaste tube)
… I highly recommend QV Cream, I know for a fact that Ill be using it again.
The QV cream was a nice thick texture and felt good as I applied to my skin. It instantly relieves dryer skin especially around the elbows.
Love this cream!use it all over my body and have found my skin in so much smoother and softer! Definately makes that dry winter skin disappear!x
I loved QV Cream because the one cream was great for my face & my feet and was great for my son who has eczema. No need to buy heaps of different products anymore!
Dry skin is a side effect of Thryoid condition and I have found this QV cream the top of the list. Its packaged nicely and the tube is a nice size and not clumsy to take in your bag. After using everything in the chemist shop to no avail I give this produc top marks.
Love this cream i have very dry arms legs and elbows and it just works wonders. not so greasy either.
I just came back from overseas the weather was different to her in Australia which make my hands skin to go very dry and some cracking which make my hands looks awful however when i got the cream i started to use it and after 2 days my hands was back to normal i loved the results and im so happy using this cream there for i recommend it to my friends and family .
thanx for lettin me try it .
fantastic. I have dry skin and terribly cracked heals. the QV cream really soothed and softened my heals dramatically. Loved it and will certainly buy a full tube. Thanks for the trial run.
QV Cream has done wonders for my skin. Unlike some body lotions, QV leaves my skin feeling silky all day long. Recently went away & forgot to pack my eye make-up remover. All I had was my tube of QV cream which removed my make-up very easily. Just love it – no more hard/dry/flaky skin.
I recently had the chance to try the QV Cream, and yes – again… wow!
I have been a huge fan of the soap-free QV Body Wash for years (since it saved my poor skin’s life after hydration and eczema had sucked the life out of it)! – I really should have been a spoke’s person for it as I think everyone I know uses the QV Body Wash!
The QV Cream is also far superior to any other cream products I have tried. I am prone to getting extremely dry skin, especially on my calfs and my arms – QV you’ve done it again… thank you moisture!
I can highly recommend this cream. I have been using it on my 3 year old daughter who has very dry skin and my husband has been using it on his elbows of all places. There has definitely been improvement and I particularly like the fact that it does not feel greasy.
Love this cream! I’ve tried many types of heal cream for cracked heals and thanks to QV cream I have smooth heals for the first time in years. My partner also used for his dry hands and is now hooked!
