Sorbolene Cream with 10% Vegetable Glycerin Reviews

I love the fact that this sorbolene cream is a two in one cleanser and moisturiser. This made my skincare routine extremely simple and quick, only needing one tube for two steps of my regime. As I first opened the product, I decided to do a little patch test, first using the product as a skin cleanser. Adding a touch of water to the product on my arm, I lathered the cream into my skin, which created a foam like texture. The product is fragrance free, which is really great for my sensitive skin. After lathering the product in for a few seconds, I decided to wipe my arm with tissue, only to find a great amount of oils and dirt come off with the cream. This worked absolute wonders! It is very obvious that this everyday cleanser deeply cleans, leaving my skin feel extremely clean and moisturised. I continued to use this product on my face for a few weeks and was extremely happy with the results. As a moisturiser, the cream is a tad sticky, but nothing too concerning. I applied it twice a day on the body and discovered no faults. Would definitely recommend for those with sensitive skin, those looking for an easy to use cleanser/moisturiser and those who are beginners at skincare and regimes. Great everyday product!

If you are looking for a multipurpose cream then I would recommend the Kenkay sorbolene cream. It is well priced and it can be used for many different things. I have used this as a body moisturiser as the cream has a nice consistency, rubs into the skin easily, absorbs well and yet still feels lightweight onto my skin. Since it is fragrance free and contains 10% vegetable glycerin, it's incredibly hydrating and great for those with dry, sensitive and eczema prone skin. I can use it all over my body with no problem. No irritation or stinging even when I use it on areas of my body that have eczema. I have used it as well for washing my body when my skin was really sunburnt and incredibly dry and sensitive. It cleanses the skin but does not strip it of its natural oils. Instead, it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. The tube format is easy to use, hygienic and portable so I can keep it in my bag and use throughout the day.

As I get a little older, I find my skin getting increasingly drier. I have tried so many expensive face creams, some work well but the cost... So I was a little hesitant to try the Kenkay sorbolene. I do remember seeing a dermatologist who recommended sorbolene, but I guess its drilled into you that it has to cost a lot of money to be effective. So I used this sorbolene on my body, which just melted into my skin like butter. I never really thought sorbolene was a face cream, but I tried it anyway and I am so glad I did. All of the tightness was gone. It didnt feel like it was sitting on top of my skin like some other creams, it just melted in. The best part was that when I got home from work I didnt feel like taking my makeup off and slathering on moisturiser straight away (like I usually do). It actually really works. I will be buying this in bulk now. I have seen the light.

I came across the practice of using sorbolene cream to cleanse skin when my children were young with very sensitive and eczema prone skin. Since then, I have kept an eye out for them when shopping and always have them handy around the house as they are so multi purpose and versatile. I really like this cream because it can be used as both a moisturising barrier and cleanser for very dry skin. The 10% glycerin makes it extra moisturising and soothing to dry and sensitive skin.
The texture is very light and pleasant without a leaving sticky residue. It's also fragrance free which is a must for sensitive, dry and eczema prone skin.
I have enjoyed using the cream right after washing my hands, especially during COVID-19 where I've have to be extra vigilant in keeping my hands clean. As a result, my hands are often dry, my cuticles split and skin can be red and irritated, so it's been great to have this little pocket size cream in my work bag where I can take it everywhere with me and use it throughout the day.

The cream comes in a handy 100 gm tube with a secure fitting easy to use flip top lid .
There is no noticeable smell to the cream so it does not clash with the perfume I wear which is nice .
The tube size is perfect for my handbag and the cream gets absorbed really well . A little goes a long way and I used it on my cracked heels and elbows as well as my hands .
Really good at giving them back the moisture that had been lost

I found using this as a moisturiser it was a bit heavy. I felt it didn't absorb in to the skin enough and always felt like it was just sitting there. As soon as I washed my hands it was a bit like I had never applied it.
For this reason I decided to try it as a facial cleanser both morning and night. I was hesitant at first because I have been using my cleanser for quite a while and am very happy with my skin at the moment. I was presently surprised with the results. My skin felt hydrated and very clean. I had no breakouts (which I often do when changing cleansers). i am not sure that this would be enough for me to permanently change from my current cleanser but I will definitely be trying this for my two teenage daughters as they both use a similar product now.

I love the way the Kenkay Sorbolene Cream moisturises my skin.
I use it all over my body and face before bed and the next day I have visibly healthier looking and softer skin.

I suffer from awful eczema (atopic dermatitis) and have done since I was a baby. Without using a moisturiser my skin is a mess and I need to resort to either very strong topical corticosteroids or oral ones when it really gets out of control.

However, I have discovered that if I use this twice a day, my skin stays hydrated and soft and more importantly virtually eczema free.

For me eczema is as a result of my skin barrier not working correctly, so moisturiser is just something I will have to use for the rest of my life unless they find a cure!

Thank goodness for Kenkay.

I tried it as a moisturiser but found it to be a bit sticky, so I used this product as a facial cleanser each morning in the shower. The size of the squeeze bottle makes it easy to fit between shampoo bottles. I like the look of the packaging with the calming icecream colours. I found it to be very moisturising to my skin. I'm not too keen on the scent of sorbolene in general, and won't usually buy sorbolene, but I found this one to have a lighter scent, which was pleasing. With daily use I find my face to feel softer and smoother. I will continue to use it. I didn't have any issues with oily skin or acne, it gave a matte finish to my skin. I would recommend it for dry to very dry skin. I love that it is not tested on animals as that is very important to me.

Normally, when I happen upon a ‘fragrance-free’ claim, I’m sceptical. So often there is a smell that should have been covered by a fragrance - a bit medicinal or something. Many other sorbolene creams have a very strong smell. This one, unless I was suffering serious loss of smell during the trial, is just as it says - fragrance free. When your skin is feeling hyper sensitive or just out of sorts, then the last thing you need is a fragrance. All too often the fragrance element is just another irritant to your inflamed or troubled epidermis. Not what you need. The addition of vegetable glycerin is where the magic happens. Super moisturising and protective. And guess what? It’s a double duty dream lotion! A cleanser AND a moisturiser! Say whaaaa? How I adore a two-in one. That works, of course! Really lovely as a cleanser - no fuss and very thorough. And leaves your skin feeling clean and moisturised. Which is helpful. I can see this being a regular purchase.
