Joanne's Story
Imagine turning up to a skin clinic and the specialist tells you to simply buy this cream for £30.
It was one of those weird moments. I wanted to say, no, I want that big expensive looking laser on my face, but I couldn't, so I just went along with it. For the first time in my life not being able to say no was a wonderful thing. She took it off the shelf and handed it to me...
So what does this do then and what are the ingredients? I asked. At this point I'm expecting to hear the lady throw out some fancy words or terms, you know like those pretty doctors in cute skirts do on Harley Street.
Instead she said:
It repairs the skin barrier function. If we can repair the barrier function then your skin issues will disappear. All the ingredients are completely natural. It's exactly what you need to try and your skin will get a much needed rest from those harsh chemicals and treatments.
I literally had no idea what she was talking about, she sounded more like a fortune teller than a skin specialist. One thing I knew for sure was that she was extremely confident, so much so that she went on to say, All I want you to do is use it for 2 weeks. If you don't notice a significant difference then come back and we can take it from there.
Honest Review · Posted Before She Was Convinced
I'll be honest - I was completely sceptical. I've read too many stories like this and been burned too many times. My skin is sensitive, reactive, and has a long memory. But my sister kept sending me photos of her face and I eventually ran out of excuses.
— Hannah R. · Eczema / Sensitive Skin
It would be reallllllly cliché to say, 'AND THE REST IS HISTORY', but it really is. How it works? I dunno. Why it works? I dunno. But we shouldn't always go looking for the why, sometimes you've just got to appreciate that you actually found that needle in the haystack you've been longing for!
You're probably wondering why I haven't mentioned the product yet. That's because this isn't some sales pitch! I wanted people to actually read about my experience rather than just seeing the product and clicking it!
BUT FIRST!
Let's get a bit 'nerdy' and look at what the barrier function is. Oh, and for those impatient ones (like me) who are probably sat there thinking, SHUT UP AND TELL ME WHAT IT IS, it's coming. 😁

DRUMROLL PLEASE... 🥁🥁🥁
I really hope this isn't a big anti-climax, but I didn't quite know how to introduce it; anyways here it is!
😁 Before I used this product on my face my skin was dry, dull, red and lacked any sort of 'glow'. I also had a HORRIBLE amount of excess sebum in the t-zone area.
NOW my skin glows. If I avoid the sun the redness stays away and the excess sebum completely vanishes.
I've sworn by this product for months now and I haven't failed to tell all my friends and family about it. I tell EVERYONE and they are NEVER disappointed.
I can't sit here and tell you that it's definitely going to work for you, but I can tell you that this cream has completely changed my skin...and my life.
Even one of my friends came to me complaining about the HORRIBLE eczema on her hands and now she tells me the cream is working its magic. Who would of thought that something made with all natural ingredients could be the key to resolving these issues? NOT ME.
The product is not oily and does not contain any harsh chemicals or ingredients. I use it in the morning and before I go to bed. It sits wonderfully in my makeup bag, which is definitely a big bonus!

An Honest Note from Joanne
"I just want to mention the other creams I have tried of theirs, of which I haven't noticed much of a difference. Maybe I just don't really know what I'm expecting, because my skin has already been completely changed by the Repair & Renew Cream. That's not to say that the others won't work for you, but I'm just giving my honest opinion of what worked best for me. If you're going to do one thing today, BUY the Repair & Renew Cream.
How many companies do you know that will give you your money back if it does not work? What do you have to lose? It changed my skin and for the first time since my teens I feel comfortable wearing NO makeup!"

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 3808 reviews.
I’m 67. My skin is sensitive. A bit prone to blotchiness and dry patches. This oil is fantastic. It evens my skin tone, hydrates and smells wonderful. Lasts ages too - a little goes a long way.
Picture is make up free.
I love this little pot of wonder which deeply moisturises & keeps my complexion soft & plump for my ageing skin & developing wrinkles, ive tried other products but always come back to this as my trusty day moisturiser. 💖
I added the Soothing Serum to my routine because my skin tends to react badly to heat.
Because my skin breaks out when using SPF - even the ones designed for sensitive skin - I wear a large sun hat or try to stay indoors or in the shade during the hottest part of the day.
The Soothing Serum calms any heat induced irritation and it is a must have for me during the summer months.
I have used Amour Skincare for some time now and the products suit my unpredictable skin.
I retired recently and people keep commenting that it must be nice to be able take early retirement.
Having celebrated my 70th birthday, it is very flattering to be told that I don't look my age.
Of course I have some lines and wrinkles but,due to the consistent use of Amour skin care products the lines/ wrinkles are hardly noticeable because my skin looks plumbed and glowing.
It's such a relief to be able to order skin care that actually works:
"It does what it says".
Please do not change the formula🙏
I work in the community and my face is exposed to all weather conditions and whatever pollutants are in the air.
This cleansing oil removes everything, including make up and leaves my skin soft and without irritation. It also smells gorgeous and using it feels like a spa treatment for my face.
I have used Amour products for a long time because they do not cause any issues with my sensitive skin and are effective.
A simple but consistent routine works and I am a great believer in less is more.
The products are cruelty free, made in the UK and they work.
People are often shocked when I tell them my age (70) because I look at last 10 years younger.
I use the Mature skin cream in the morning and the Lavender cream at bedtime and, depending on my skin's needs, I also use the Anti-Ageing serum for a boost.
The Healing cream works wonders for the odd blemish and is an absolute life saver to nip cold sores in the bud.
The serum and creams go a long way and last for a good two to three months on average and are affordable.
I am will continue to purchase Armour skin care products because of their proven effectiveness.
If there is one gripe - larger jars because I would love to smother the creams all over my body.
Please d not change the formulas.
Thank you
Love the moisture in this cream. Been using for over 5 years. It hydrates well and gives a lovely glow.
I'm 57 and other creams dry out half way through the day.
I'm almost 50 & swear by Amour's creams. I use the mature skin cream in the morning & the repair & renew cream at night. Both leave my skin feeling silky smooth & glowing. They also smell utterly divine!
I have tried several of the Amour products ( Lavender night cream and green Healing cream are standbys)
The Mature skin cream suits me; it doesn't irritate and even works under makeup. It keeps my skin soft and comfortable and, in addition to the Anti ageing serum which I use at night, the products have helped to reduce forehead lines.
I have found products that are organic, cruelty free and effective. Only a small amount of product is required but,a slightly bigger jar would be appreciated.
My 69 year old skin is very happy and I am pleased when people express their disbelief because they think that I am 10 years younger.😊
Thank you Amour x
The Healing cream is a standby for all kinds of skin problems.
It deals quickly and effectively with breakouts; when my skin feels irritated, especially when exposed to unpredictable weather for lengthy periods ( working in the community one is exposed to all weather conditions)the Healing cream calms it down.
A recent discovery was the cream's healing property for cold sores. I use a cotton bud and dab a small amount on the sore three to four times throughout the day and it heals up within a week.
It deserves to be named Healing cream because that is exactly what it does.
I am using Amour night cream as part of my bedtime routine. My skin feels soft and smooth on waking and not greasy. The lavender scented cream is also relaxing and I am convinced that it helps me sleep better.
The repair and renew cream single handedly solved my decades long problem of dry flaky skin on my face. I still use it now and again because it feels like a cleanser and moisturiser in one. The green cream smells like pencil sharpenings! It didn't make any difference to my skin but moisturises as well as the other creams.
Totally love these products! I’m 46 and have been using this skincare range for two years. Brilliant for tired skin, fine lines and I love that they are all natural
I am 59 almost 60, I have been using this amazing cream for a long while now, I went without the cream for a while recently and within a month I could see how my skin was looking dull and not as firm, I know now that I wouldn't use anything else on my face except for Amour. The 1 product that absolutely does what it says on the label.
This soothing serum is the only product I’ve found that calms my skin. Suffering from rosacea now I’m in my 50’s. So annoying! Love this product. Highly recommend.
Since I turned 65 my skin has misbehaved terribly. Super dry with irritated red spots like heat lumps. I bought this set and, sure enough, it all cleared up. So what did I do? Yup I went back to my original regime. And what happened? Yup it all happened again - itchy red lumps and flaky skin. So I returned to Amour and you know what? The problem went away. This time I'm staying put!
The pink one is like strawberry angel delight. I don't normally like the smell of lavender but this one is fine. These creams have ruined me for any others. Have been using them a few years now. I'm in my sixties but regularly get asked what I use on my face.
This is a brilliant cleanser/make up remover. I had a bit of discomfort with ‘dry eye’. Possibly caused by mascara not being thoroughly cleaned off. After a week of using this oil cleanser my eyes are back to normal!
Plus my skin feels lovely and I think the skin tone is more even. The oil smells lovely too!
My hair is thick and in reasonable condition. I’ve always had streaks of different shades - including grey now - but since using the hair oil it’s looked glossy and the different colours stand out. Looks like it’s been highlighted!
Simplicity itself.
Cleaning my face with the oil and believe me,it shifts everything and I do not double cleanse. A good cleanser should remove everything without stripping the skin and this meets the criteria for me.
I use the anti ageing serum at night. The day cream works well under makeup and I add a drop of the serum to the cream on days when my skin needs a little extra moisture.
A little of both goes a long way.
Easy,simple, effective and it works.
It's nice to be told that I look like I am in my late 50's or early 60's.
Actually,looking 70 in the face with the confidence.
Most customers notice a change in how their skin feels within 7–10 days — the tightness easing, the texture softening. Visible changes in redness, breakouts, or eczema typically follow in week two. For more long-standing or severe conditions, give it the full 30 days. Your barrier function took time to deteriorate; it takes a little time to rebuild. That’s why we offer the 30-day guarantee — not as a gimmick, but because we want you to have enough time to see what it actually does.
Yes — in fact, sensitive skin is often the first to respond. The formula is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and tested by a dermatologist. It contains no known irritants and no unnecessary filler ingredients. The vast majority of our customers who describe themselves as "can’t use anything" have used this without a reaction. If you do experience any sensitivity in the first 48 hours (uncommon, but possible), simply stop using it and contact us for a full refund.
The formula is built around three things your skin barrier actually needs: ceramides (which rebuild the lipid structure), niacinamide (which reduces inflammation and regulates sebum), and a complex of essential fatty acids (which restore the waterproof seal that keeps moisture in and irritants out). We don’t use fillers, perfumes, or marketing ingredients that sound impressive but don’t do anything. Everything in the formula is there for a reason.
You don’t have to. But many of our customers find they naturally do. When your skin’s barrier is functioning properly, it needs less. Less makeup to cover redness. Less spot treatment for breakouts. Less heavy moisturiser for dry patches. Our recommendation is to use it as your final step morning and evening, see how your skin responds, and simplify from there. Most people are surprised by how much they were over-treating a problem that just needed one thing done properly.

"I've read about a thousand of these stories. Woman finds cream. Skin changes. Writes about it on the internet. I always assumed they were being paid or they were very optimistic or they had the kind of skin that was going to get better anyway. I am not optimistic by nature. I have not been paid. And my skin has not historically got better on its own. It got better because of this."
