Blimey, I desperately needed a break from talking about Christmas and Christmassy things! I have been using this for years and it does softens skin in an extra rich texture that has a pleasing and recognizable scent. Since I am allergic to lanolin and have had sensitive skin my whole life I first checked the ingredients on the back of the jar and found this is not listed. I have noticed a big difference in how my face looks since I first started using Pond's Dry Skin Cream.For more information, please visit : http://www.healthyminimarket.com/silqueskin-cream/
