CLOSED - Formula II Skin Care Cream Review & Giveaway
Wednesday, March 03, 2010 Posted by BusyWorkingMama
Recently I was lucky enough to win a large tub of Formula II Skin Care cream on twitter. I had stumbled upon them by accident and entered to win the lotion on a whim, so I was very excited to win given that I am a total lotion and potion junkie. I received the cream in the mail the other week with some information about it. I was surprised to learn how many uses the cream had. It can be used to heal and protect dry skin in the cold winter months. It works well as a diaper cream. It can heal and protect chapped lips. It can protect cuts and scrapes. I tried it out on my hands right away. The cream is thick but absorbs very quickly and leaves your skin feeling silky and soft. Formula II Cream has only 7 simple ingredients and it is fragrance-free, alcohol-free and lanolin-free. Mr. Isabella originally made Formula II Skin Care Cream right in his home kitchen. The product was originally used by just family and friends until customers wanted to purchase the cream.
I wash my hands a lot in the winter, and I find that I reapply the same hand lotion over and over again, only to end up with dry skin. Now that I have a jar of Formula II Cream on my desk, my hands stay nice and moisturized even after washing. My husband has very dry hands and never bothers with lotion even though I have bottles of it next to every sink in the house. I had him try this cream and he really liked it. I actually saw him using it on his own, without any prodding from me! Shocking! I am definitely a fan of the product and am so glad I was able to try it out. I've used it on my lips and feet as well. I have also used this on Lily's delicate nose and cheeks since Atlanta has had entirely too much cold weather lately. She is happy when I let her spread some of the cream on with her own little finger.
I liked the cream so much, I contacted the company to see if they would be interested in hosting a giveaway of their cream. Formula II Skin Care Cream has sponsored a giveaway of 2 of their 8 oz. jars of cream to 2 lucky winners. To enter, follow the instructions below.

Formula II contains mineral oil which helps to moisturize your skin. It is also formulated with three waxes which hold moisture in and provide a protective barrier which is very effective in helping to heal both dry skin and chronic wounds.

I learned...For Dry Skin: Formula II uses a high percentage of mineral oil that helps to quickly moisturize the skin. With three waxes acting as a barrier, Formula II also works to conserve your body's natural moisture and protect your skin.
