08/10/2024, By WvB_1This is one of the many many products we've tried on our eczema-prone daughter's skin, and the one that seems to be giving the best results. It is a bit sticky and can leave stains, so best to allow it time to penetrate. This is currently something we always keep in stock for skin remedies.04/01/2024, By MaryamHelps to keep the eczema calm. I use it for the whole body and it moisturizes my skin beautifully. I haven’t used prescription creams ever since I started using African Potato.19/09/2023, By NixGreat for aches and pains and I like the smell. The colour occasionally stains light material though06/08/2023, By TanyaReally seems to work for rashes, acne and any skin concerns. My teenage son keeps stealing it to put on pimples! It has a strong, but not unpleasant smell and a nice thick texture.06/08/2023, By MeganGreat for alleviating pain! Really is such a nice natural product that works so very well!27/02/2023, By AdrielThis Potato Cream has been essential on my eczema healing journey!! Using it for almost a year now alongside the GAPS protocol, and obviously eliminating chemicals from my lifestyle as far as possible, this cream has really been such a good moisturizer without leaving an oily layer. So grateful I found this product and will definitely recommend to anyone struggling with skin issues!27/02/2023, By AdrielThis Potato Cream has been essential on my eczema healing journey!! Using it for almost a year now alongside the GAPS protocol, and obviously eliminating chemicals from my lifestyle as far as possible, this cream has really been such a good moisturizer without leaving an oily layer. So grateful I found this product and will definitely recommend to anyone struggling with skin issues!17/09/2022, By louisesinks in really quick, great moisturizer. fees like it gives my skin a lift/pluming. the skin around my eyes looks and feels less droopy when i use this on my face. the smell of the cream is quite strong but dissipates quickly. definately helps severely dry skin.27/06/2022, By NadineI use this as a foot cream at night, and I absolutely love it. Does pain relief and moisturizes.13/04/2022, By YvetteI love this product and I won't ever stop using. It help with my daughters eczema and acne. Also perfect for my oily face.
17/02/2022, By AdrielWorked great on my allergy-induced eczema that had a really bad break out. It moisturizes, but also heals and protects. Didn't clear it up, up made a big difference!06/12/2021, By ZinhleIt's a bit tingling but it goes away. Not too bothered by the colour I've learned to just get over it. I've been mixing it in with my moisturizing face oil, seems to working for now.21/08/2021, By ZestBought this for my mom's arthritis, but she didn't enjoy using it (smell and colour), and said it didn't relieve her pain. We might try it for other uses such as burns and insect bites; however, Bee Natural's Healing Balm already works for us in that regard.23/06/2021, By staceyvMUST HAVE for burns, bites, boils and sooooo much more. Even helped a friend with their athlete's foot :)14/05/2021, By LisaI love everything about this, the smell, the texture, the noticeable difference in my skin. It's great for heels, sun spots and all those other little nasty spots that come with ageing.03/04/2021, By Shanonexcellent product to relieve itchy bites, and almost any topical skin issue.23/03/2021, By MarieWorks really well on any itchy patches, mosquito bites(!) or sore/sunburnt skin. I agree it won't fix serious eczema flare-ups, but I use it nightly on my legs for mild itch instead of cortisone cream and it does the job. The brown colour isn't a problem as long as you rub it in well.01/03/2021, By JayI had a really bad eczema flare up on my hands during lockdown so I ordered this. While it didn't clear the eczema up, unfortunately only my steroid cream does, it definitely soothed the itching and burning. It worked amazing on my cracked heels however it is a little messy due to the brown color.22/02/2021, By ChelseaHighly recommended. This product has so many benefits. For example, I had sunburnt my face and decided to use the potato cream. My face felt so relieved, the redness had disappeared and my face didn’t peel (which I was worried about). My mom had also sunburnt and decided to use this product. It helped a lot!03/02/2021, By PIt doesn't seem to have done much for my psoriasis besides make my palm smell a bit funny, kind of camphor-ish.
But my mum used it on her heel bursitis, and said she felt a lot of relief massaging with it.27/01/2021, By MelissaI got a sample of this from my naturopath a long time ago. First of all it lasted me such a long time, and secondly it is light, natural and local. three wins!! I wish it was a little oilier but that is a personal preference. Very happy indeed.21/01/2021, By FranDown to Earth's products are always high in quality and this is wonderful for dry skin.08/01/2021, By TerriGreat product for mild sunburn, cracked heels, bites, sore muscles and almost everything in between!04/01/2021, By LeratoI bought this product last year November and I am beyond impressed with its consistency, odour, thickness and overall results. I use it from face all the way down to my feet. I absolutely love it.29/11/2020, By KateWorked amazingly for my daughter's eczema. It's not an overnight cure - need to give it a couple of days.15/11/2020, By BetaThis is the first product that i have used that is drying up my psoriasis. I am extremelly happy with the results and can recommend it to other sufferers.13/11/2020, By LorraineNever will I dare pass a day not to rub with this amazing product. But add Arnica essential oils and u have a winner loose hands.27/10/2020, By VerushThis product is soo amazing , i had the worst eczema on my hands from the first day i started using this product it is helping me20/10/2020, By nisbetfolkI’ve been buying this product for many years (I think over 20)... it continues to work it’s magic in my aches and pains and many other conditions. It really is incredible stuff ????.28/07/2020, By StephanAmazing! I bought it for my Ouma’s incredibly dry skin, worked instantly. I use it on my hands and on my eczema, velvety smooth skin now. Love this cream.24/06/2020, By BunnyPotato cream works so well for eczema. A tub was purchased for my sister whose eczema flared during lock down and it worked miracles. Second tub was purchased for a colleague whose eczema flared because of all the sanitiser she has to use working frontline at our business and potato cream came to the rescue. Thank you!24/05/2020, By KarenI can’t really try it because the couple of time I used it on my daughters body, it comes off on clothing and bedding. I have two pots now and I don’t think there’s anywhere I can use it where it won’t smear brown dirty marks all over fabrics? Disappointed14/05/2020, By RaeesahAbsolutely love this product. Works well for sensitive skin that's prone to acne04/05/2020, By RaeesahI have really troubling acne prone skin so A friend of mine recommended I use this product last year and ever since then I can not go back to anything other than this. I love it! It's a little bit sticky and I would suggest using it at night, but this product is so worth it. After a month my skin already improved and now I'm a firm believer in this product28/04/2020, By BronwynRich, thick consistency. Purchased it as a cracked heel treatment, hasn't made much of a difference yet.17/03/2020, By LizFantastic in treating Eczema.
My sister used this and she said it took less than a week to feel and see the improvement. It reduced the itchiness immediately.
I Need to use more to give full feedback on other skin conditions hence the 4 stars.31/01/2020, By EsmeI love this cream. I have extremely dry skin (I do a lot of gardening and housework and wash my hands a lot) and battle with eczema and this cream relieves eczema and is the only cream I've ever used that keeps my hands hydrated.25/12/2019, By PhumzileI bought this cream for my son who is suffering from dry skin and my mom use it for joint and muscle pains. Though it is too early to tell with regard to my son's skin, my mom is enjoying this product and asked me to order some more for her. It is doing wonders for her.
It has soothing and calming effects so I also use it for mosquito bites.14/12/2019, By CarmyJBest discovery I've made and have already recommended it to my family and friends.
Leaves my sensitive skin, soft and smooth. Helps with my eczema too.12/12/2019, By RobotBeen using this cream now for 8 years. Skin irritations, mosquito bites etc. It just works!02/12/2019, By CarmyWow, love it, it's texture and smell. It has helped so many ailments I've been struggling with. Thank you30/11/2019, By RaeghaanaThis is thicker than the aloe cream on the range so it is more potent and it lasts longer. This is a must as it is very effective.29/11/2019, By NasreenHave used this in conjunction with the clear skin aloe gel for my daughter's eczema. Really works23/11/2019, By EstieKI'm 50, and still struggling with acne! Annoying to say the least! I've been using Bee NaturalTissue Oil and African Potato cream for two months, and not a pimple. Not a single one.
I'm placing an order for both again - don't want to risk being a day without either!01/10/2019, By AdeneUsed some of this for itchy skin patches on my back and it soothed instantly.27/09/2019, By JesicaI love the earthy smell and creamy texture but that's as far as it goes. I'm not sure if the product does what it promises.27/09/2019, By JesicaI love the earthy smell and creamy texture but that's as far as it goes. I'm not sure if the product does what it promises.17/09/2019, By KAMI have been using it for about a week on my stretch marks and has improved the elasticity of my skin and the markings unbelievable 10/10 would highly recommend07/08/2019, By LaurenI buy this for my grandmother who struggles with arthritis. She swears by it. I personally don't like the brown residue.29/06/2019, By AhmedBought this based on the positive reviews. But even the reviews don't do justice to this incredible product. Grabbed a few more on special. Reviews and fantastic deals and discounts is why I am a loyal FTN customer.08/06/2019, By ClaireBought it for my mother who has had arthritis for many years, she says it helps with the pain. I use it occasionally as well to easy menstrual cramps - it really works. It's a great product!06/06/2019, By SusanThis cream has an amazing texture. A little cream goes a long way. I love it. Won't go without it!03/06/2019, By SylvieLovely product. Gentle so no skin reaction. I use it on my hands that become very dry in winter. So far so good! Love the delicate smell too!30/05/2019, By PinkI love this cream. I’ve just ordered my 3rd tub. It’s great for dry skin. Also works wonderfully on dry cracked heels. My mum has been using it for her eczema and loves it.10/05/2019, By TraciI absolutely love this cream, it's the only thing that soothes my eczema flare-ups and dry skin. I love the texture and it sinks in immediately. The reviews of this product are amazing, from skin issues to aches & pains - it's a natural cure-all. I have recommended to everyone I know :)07/05/2019, By LeaSuch a stunning product! At first I thought hmmm really potato...BUT it’s amazing!! I have only been using it for about 4 days but I have to say my breakouts are less irritated and red. AND I also have less breakouts. It makes my skin glow06/04/2019, By WendyI bought this for my daughter who had a very bad exzema flare up. It did not really help her condition but it is a good natural moisturizer.04/04/2019, By AlexWorks amazing, absorbs quickly and hands stay moisturise without being greasy. Great that it doesn’t just sit on the skin as a false film. BUT has a strong smell that doesn’t go away and i am not a fan of the smell, makes me think of cleaning detergents.30/03/2019, By CarinI have rated this product before but it is so amazing I feel that it should be rated again!
I have started using it as a body lotion mixed with a few drops of my favourite essential oils that makes a little go a long way and smells great. My skin has never felt so great.26/03/2019, By EmilyDown to Earth African Potato cream smells amazing and I could honestly see how the cream improved my stretch marks, making some completely disappear! Incredible! Absolutely love it.15/03/2019, By Catherinewonderful cream for dry skin. I use it as a moisturiser. It also cleared up an area of sun damaged inflammation skin. It worked much better for this than the very expensive cream recommended by the dermatologist11/03/2019, By AmandaI use this on all sorts of skin irritations like sunburn, mosquito bites, eczema, acne, bumps and bruises. It's fantastic, I always have some with me.05/03/2019, By ValerieKI bought this product to use on one of my dogs who suffers from grass allergies. It seems to be helping her. It also works wonders on the joints of my hands! As it is the first time I use it, I still need to try it for other applications like sinus, etc..28/01/2019, By TaminI ordered this for my mother for arthritis pain. She said it didn’t help much with that but is great for skin irritations.11/01/2019, By JennaThis is the best cream ever! It took care of my eczema in just a couple of days - and I tried so many things before. I reordered 6 more for my friends and family as well.10/01/2019, By CarolineI LOVE this cream!! It tones and tightens my face really nicely! Not sure if others can claim the same? I would give this a 5/5 if it came in a non-plastic container.
For peace of mind, could the supplier and FtN please kindly indicate if the African Potato plants are cultivated or harvested, and if so, whether this is done sustainably?04/01/2019, By NadetteBought my first tub for eczema on my hands and feet. Suffering from the worst sinus anyone can imagine. To the point where I constantly have puffy eyes runny nose and cough. I applied the lotion to all my sinus areas. Works instantly. Best prodct ever!!! Even gave some to my bf to apply. He also noticed instant relieve. Would recommend it to everyone31/12/2018, By MoniThis product is amazing, I recently used it on my face because my skin was dehydrated. Within days my skin was hydrated and I realized that some of my facial scaring was gone!25/12/2018, By MosesMy mother has been using this product for several years now for her muscle, joint and knuckle pains. She swears by it and uses nothing else.14/12/2018, By ChristaI bought this to use as a cuticle cream because my cuticles crack really easily because I am a nail-biter. This is highly moisturizing but without the oily residue which is something I don't like about other lotions. Which means my nails are starting to look better and stronger because I'm more consistent in applying a moisturizer. The cream has an earthy smell, but I like it, and it dissipates quite quickly. I would highly recommend this to anyone who bites their nails and has issues with their cuticles.06/12/2018, By RianaI already reviewed this quite some time ago, but have since needed to use it again on a patch of eczema. Again, after the first application, the next morning there was visible improvement. Applied it a few more times, and then it was gone. I am still using the sample I received a while ago, but I was so impressed, that I now purchased each of my daughters a container, to use for their families.04/12/2018, By ChantalTried potato cream before, but was from Australia. This is amazing stuff, especially for ageing skin04/12/2018, By FallonThis product is what every wife and mom should have in their house. It is amazing for skin rashes, insect bites, sun burn, inflammation and the list goes on. It really works. We have been using African Potato Cream for years and I recently bought more from FTN as it was on special. You have to try it.01/12/2018, By CherI have found this product to be calming for skin rashesnd sun spots. Excellent as an anti-inflammatory.23/11/2018, By FayeMy 8 month old has eczema breakouts every so often, used this on her flair and it was totally gone the following morning.
I do like this product22/11/2018, By AEarly days I have rheumatoid arthritis and was in a lot of pain, just received my first tub of Down to earth African potato cream, and decided to give it a go Rubbed it on my arm and my knees Have to admit it seems to be working20/11/2018, By CarinI recently burned the tip of a finger when I touched hot glue (stupid!)
I put on some on the burn and within 5 minutes I didn't even remember that I had burnt! Took the sting aswy completely and the blister dissappeared after a day, and this after only 1 application!
Great for the little bumps that my daughter has been getting on her face, and she asks for it to put on them (she is only 6 years old)
Great for toothache when rubbed on your face over the sore area and the list goes on........ Will never be without this product!!19/11/2018, By AmandaThis product has relieved my itch. I no longer itch as I used to.
Great Product.27/10/2018, By GeorgeWorks well for eczema and itching for kids . The product takes a while of getting used to as its not transparent , but would not substitute this for any commercial product or prescription medicine . Using this as an alternative to cortisol which can cause the skin to thin .26/10/2018, By anonymousMy friends and family love this product. I've only tried the sample I've received and it worked for a itchy mosquito bite.26/10/2018, By AmandaI've been using it for a couple of days now.
So far, very moisturizing and the smell is great, can't wait to see if it will be effective for my eczema.19/10/2018, By NurI am using this on my 5 year old's skin. It cleared up his eczema! I would happily recommend this product!18/10/2018, By JaniceThis stuff is great - helps sore muscles, rashes and other skin problems, helps sooth bites, and even as baby bum cream.11/10/2018, By Lorraineit.!!old age home use Wonderful for Arthritis. Quite a few of the oldies living in our01/10/2018, By KezWithin a week I could see noticeable changes in my skin. I had been suffering with quite bad eczema and acne flareups and this GREATLY reduced that. Very happy a friend recommended this product to me.25/09/2018, By Ashleigh EasthorpeI've tried to use this product on the dry skin/eczema on my eyelids. It's hard to apply in tiny areas or skin folds so results weren't consistent. I did apply it to pimples on my face and those dried out fairly quickly. On my sensitive skin it does burn slightly upon application, but after the initial sensation, I had no problems.15/09/2018, By NadiaI bought this for my husband's skin disorders, after recommendation by a pharmacist. He says it provides great relief for the itch and pain. I used it for severe sunburn and it really helped with the itch and pain as well. Even used it on my faced, and looked like it assisted with acne as well. Nasty smell and paste on skin, try only use it at night when you not in contact with people. Makes brown tint on your skin.13/08/2018, By BevGreat healing properties.
Havent used it for all ailments as suggested but definetely as a face cream and for excessively dry skin that keeps breaking open.23/07/2018, By LynnMy husband has tried many natural products for his eczema, and this is the best one he has tried & as a bonus it is cheaper than some of them that worked well. It is also great to soften and moisturize my heels.23/07/2018, By JacquelineLove it, love it. I rub it on my legs and it helps with varicose veins and any pains in the knees. Have recommended it to my friends and they love it.20/07/2018, By TraceyThe texture is a little "gritty" once it is all rubbed on. The plus side is that it's not "greasy" like the African Potato Balm. We've only used it a few times but I'm not sure I'll get it again. Rather buy the balm for treating small areas.18/07/2018, By LoveleenUsed it with success on my daughter's burns in the arm and it healed well.02/07/2018, By FranI gave some to a friend for an inflammation issue. It made a HUGE difference. It is quickly absorbed and an excellent product. Highly recommended.24/06/2018, By AnnelienI used this a couple of times it has a cooling effect on sore muscles... unfortunately the light brown cream does "come off" on light clothes ...which is a pity22/06/2018, By DonnaVery disappointed as I always used to buy this, but they have now changed the ingredients and it's very different. Very grainy and thick and not a good moisturizer if you're wanting to use it on your face. Recommend the Revive Moisturizer instead!12/06/2018, By AyeshaGifted this to someone, they loved it. I thought the bowl would be deeper ...hence only 4 stars.
Overall nice design and finish.10/06/2018, By JThis product really helps with arthritis. My mum has been using them on her knees which seems to have helped her pain a lot!09/06/2018, By MThe lotion cakes on the skin and leaves a brown 'dirty' srteak. Cannot use prior to leaving the house. Have used other brand of African Potatoe cream to remove warts (very successfully!). Was disappointed to note that this cream did not show any benefits after extensive prolonged use...08/06/2018, By MimiI received as a sample and loved it. I already use the revive moisturiser and had always wondered if this was as good (also because it is cheaper). I can confirm that it!30/05/2018, By NadiaI received a sample and gave it to my partner for his gout. It helped him so I ordered a large container.14/05/2018, By JanineTried this as a sample, and bought me as it help with my lower back pain, plus it left my skin feeling smooth.10/05/2018, By GiuliaTried this as a sample, and had to buy it.
I only used it as a moisturizer, but I really really love how it leaves my skin.03/04/2018, By LornaThis is doing amazing things for my dry and cracked heels.22/03/2018, By TebogoI've noticed my breakouts are few and far between. It's also helped with acne scarring.18/03/2018, By samMy mom loves this. She's very finicky about fragrances but despite the dubious smell of this, she loved it. It made her elbows knees and feet so supple soft and smooth.16/03/2018, By RianaI got it as a sample long ago, but did not have anything for which to use it. Found it a bit annoying that the sample container's lid did not fit well, and the contents tended to seep out and cause a mess if not kept upright. BUT then recently I developed eczema on the side of my foot, and put the ointment on in the evening. The very next morning the area did not look inflamed anymore, as it had visibly subsided. I repeated the treatment once a day, and by about the 4th or 5th day it was completely healed. I was pleasantly surprised, and will surely keep it in mind for this ailment!05/02/2018, By CherI have been using this product on a few small sun spots for the past 10 days and already I am seeing an improvement. The areas are no longer rough and scaly, and redness has also improved. Will continue the use of Down to Earth African Potato Cream to hopefully clear all trace of the sun spot.29/01/2018, By UltraHas cleared up quite a few minor skin conditions!Literary works for such a big variety or conditions. Really recommended this product!25/01/2018, By DonnaAbsolutely love this product! So so gentle on dry skin, hydrates it quickly, and leaves skin feeling nourished and healthy. I use it every night and will definitely buy it again. Love the smell too - so natural and fresh!19/01/2018, By JeremyI got this as a sample. It has cleaned up a lot of long-standing skin problems that I never thought would be fixed (because I was told that they are age related and also because they were the result of long term sun exposure) so I'll be ordering more. A little goes a long way and after two months there have been no adverse side effects.17/01/2018, By NicoleThis cream is great for many skin conditions. I have very fair skin and got burnt during the December holidays. I put this cream on and had no redness or sensitivity at all by the next morning.15/01/2018, By BronwynFantastic! Absorbs very well, works for eczema, instant itch relief, soothing...AND real value for money in a large jar ... a great find.15/01/2018, By BronHelped treat eczema patches on my legs. I did however find that the cream left brown marks wherever I applied it so was good as a treatment cream but wouldn't be able to apply it as a general moisturizer.08/01/2018, By CarikaThis product is a life saver. I developed tendonitis in my shoulder a while ago, but I am very sensitive to creams such as voltaren (it burns me). With this cream there are no side-effects and it start easing the pain almost immediately after application.02/01/2018, By Carol Anneworks but rubs off in brown bits when applying an oil or cream over it. Have used it for exzema and its effective; but will avoid using on face for the above reason.19/12/2017, By LizetteExcellent product. Gave my dad some to try for his arthritis and after only a few applications, the pain, stiffness and inflammation is so much better.14/12/2017, By RozMuch easier than making my own cream with African Potato, and works just as well! Fast-absorbed, and non-sticky, useful for aching bunions and infected toenails01/12/2017, By ShakirahMy husband used this cream to massage my neck and shoulders when my muscles were stiff and aching and also when I felt pain in my hip, knees and ankle. It provided relief. I like the herbal scent too!29/11/2017, By WilmaAfter only one or two applications, this cream started to clear my teenager son's pimples. Within a week, the effect is clearly visible on his face. He is much impressed and so am I! He is using it daily now and do not want to try anything else.14/10/2017, By BronwenReading through other reviews I saw someone mention this had helped with a broken toe. I crushed the top of my foot near my big toe and am really struggling. After just a couple of days application, I noticed the damaged area coming up with new bruising, so it seems the clotted blood is breaking up. I have more mobility in my toe so this product is definitely working. Also applied it to a rash on my neck and it cleared instantly. Will always keep a tub of this on hand.13/10/2017, By LynnMy husband has very bad raised sun spots and the African Potato has after many months resulted in them drying out and actually rubbing off leaving a smooth area. Diligently applied nightly. Wonderful for my eczema and I can truly recommend to calm down even the worst eczema break out that starts to ooze. Highly recommend.11/10/2017, By TandyI received a free sample in my order and gave it to a colleague who suffers from eczema and it help so much that I ordered a large pot immediately. First product that she used that actually worked06/10/2017, By MarlizeGreat product bought it for my mother-in- law for
Psoriasis on her hands and it really helped relieve the itching and swelling.
13/09/2017, By MaureenI purchased this to add to my minimal first aid 'kit'. Arrived just as my husband is recuperating from a should op and has a rash due to an allergy from one of the medications he was taking. Two days of using this and the rash is almost gone and the itching has stopped. A little goes a long way so it will last a while. Very happy with my purchase.11/08/2017, By LindseyI love that this product worked for so many people but it did not work for me. The smell lingers long after. It did nothing for my inflamed, red skin caused by eczema. I moved on to other remedies.30/07/2017, By DamianaThis product, for me, loved up to every claim it made on the container. My first time using this product was as a sample sent to me by Faithful to Nature and I loved the effects so much, I ordered a full on size. It's wonderful to know that we can have highly effective pain-reducing/multi-purpose creams that are 100% safe and natural!03/07/2017, By LaurenThis is the only product that helps to relieve my itchy eczema when it comes up on my hands and between my fingers. I seem to get eczema flare-ups from stress and reducing my gluten intake helps, but this provides immediate relief, especially if I apply it before bed and sleep with gloves on.14/06/2017, By JamesPretty awesome stuff. Helped arthritic pain in joints, as well as dry skin and even seemed to help speed up recovery from a broken toe!03/06/2017, By Jo HGot this as a sample, used it on irritated/inflamed skin and it's very soothing, saw results very quickly. Definitely will buy it for myself.15/01/2017, By MarleneBUsed for rash (stopped itching immediately gone after three applications) and rubbed it on my painful neck, immediate relief. Highly recommended.11/01/2017, By ShariTried this for eczema and it made my eczema worse but haven used it for anything else so not sure if this works on other issues effectively or not.25/12/2016, By Patiencegot a sample size that I tried on my sore neck muscles I have to say this is a must have. I cant wait to order my 1st tin30/11/2016, By SinethembaI liked this product in the beginning. But I realize that it made my skin darker. But it does help with pimples06/11/2016, By MikeI am only using this for a couple of weeks now, so I still need to determine the result. So far, so good. I must admit that my skin appears to fuller (very thin) ans supple. Will give a final review soon.31/10/2016, By AmandaI received a sample with one of my orders and have tried it on all sorts of things, sunburn, swollen itchy hayfeverish eyes, toddler scrapes and bumps. It has worked on everything. Just ordered myself another tub because I can see us getting through the summer holidays without it.28/10/2016, By LorraineI have eczema and towards the end of spring my skin gets super itchy and very dry until I get a little bit of sun. I tried my sample that I received on the eczema and it stopped it in its tracks. Hubby used it on a cut and was impressed with the relief from the pain and itch. I have order my jar and will not go without this little miracle cream in my home. LOVE it28/09/2016, By RuthI think this cream works well if your skin agrees with it. I bought it to sort out the itchy rash on my face and neck, and it took a while before I could see any effect. After two weeks I could see some reduction in the rash, but I also started breaking out. As Im very sensitive to fragrance, I suspect my skin was reacting to the strong scent, even though its a natural one. I also went about two shades darker, so there must be an ingredient in there that doesn agree with my skin. I was going to give it a month, but Ive had to give it up to stop the breakouts. It was only after I stopped using it a couple of days ago that I noticed it had been affecting my sinuses as well. If your skin (or nose) has no problem with strongly scented creams, this should work well for you. It got the job half-done for me, but Ive had to abandon it for something with far fewer ingredients (Bee Natural face balm), which has calmed my skin down. Im saving the African Potato Cream for pain and such.07/09/2016, By LindaI am amazed at the results I have received from this product in regards to arthritis, it helped from just one application. Super ecstatic to find something that works....06/09/2016, By DianaI bought this for my son who had a painful skin condition. He had tried several things to alleviate it. The african potato cream solved the problem. Fantastic product.23/08/2016, By AmandaI got a sample last month and used it on my sore shoulder and it worked so well. It also cleared up eczema that started on my upper eyelid. This month I ordered a tub.22/08/2016, By SamanthaOnly received this cream a few days ago, but have been rubbing it into my feet at night. I normally wake up with sore swollen feet and there is a definite improvement in the morning. Great product - am about to order some more.14/06/2016, By AnitaMy husband suffers from mild, stubborn eczema in winter. Hes tried everything, but all that worked was a 0.5% cortisone cream. Until now!!! This african potato cream was given to us as a sample with an order and he tried it and it works! Hes seriously impressed. You need to apply liberally and at least 2x a day - but it is working!!!27/04/2016, By CheriAfter reading all the wonderful reviews I had great hope for this cream. My Dad had arthritis in his thumbs and severe eczema on his hands. So I thought this cream would take care of both problems! Unfortunately after using it for a couple of weeks - religiously - he reported no improvement on either complaints.07/04/2016, By LindseyI really like this product and I have repurchased it this week. It helps reduce the redness of my eczema and eases the itching. It takes a while to kick in. I would recommend you use it after a bath or shower and on clean dry skin.29/03/2016, By JoleneI purchase this cream for my mom who uses it all the time because she suffers from osteo arthritis pain. It helps relieve the pain in her back and joints. She cannot do wihout it. Wonderful product.01/03/2016, By ChristelleThis is a great moisterizer and I have felt it has definitely helped with my restless legs. However, it should come with a note that it has a very herbal smell to it which can be quite overpowering.24/02/2016, By AnnelienVery soothing, will keep using it on painful muscles11/02/2016, By AdeleThe Down To Earth Potato Cream is a WINNER!!!! My mom says it relieves pain within minutes and I used it on a mildly sprained ankle and within 5 minutes no more pain and it has been fine since.10/02/2016, By WendyI’m enjoying The African Potato Cream – so far I’ve used it on my heels only where it is working very well.13/01/2016, By ElzemikeThis product is incredible. I use it for restless leg syndrome amongst the million other uses for it. My family and friends are hooked on it now as well. Works for sinus pain when applied to area between eyebrows. Love love love it!!!!30/11/2015, By JianineMy skin (face) was feeling a little dry, so I tried some of this as a moisturiser before going to bed. It works beautifully!! I use it every night now! The smell of the cream is quite herbal, but it dissipates quickly.08/09/2015, By GlynnisI have arthritis in my wrists and just a little rubbed in really helped with the ache. I also got a rash on my face and the morning after using this all the little red spots were gone. I imagine it would work well on acne. It is now essential for all the bites and scrapes my little boys get.28/07/2015, By JessicaIm only on day 2 of using this cream, but it goes on so smoothly, it is very mild and feels lovely and cool against my skin. It FEELS natural on my skin, if you know what I mean. I don know how to explain it.
A BIG plus point for me is that it doesn burn at all on the broken skin (I have eczema on my hands, arms and legs, which I tend to scratch if I can stop myself).
I can also feel how soft and moisturised my skin is after I have used the cream.
It does seem to be helping with the inflammation as well, which is fantastic!
I also got the Clear Skin Gel with this product (as a special offer) and my review on the gel is the same - goes on so smoothly, feels very mild and cool on the skin, and doesn burn at all on the broken skin.
I have very high hopes for these two products to help me manage my eczema until I can rid myself of it for good. I am busy fixing my body on the inside (and I changed my diet, of course), and I really think this cream will help me manage the outside issues in the meantime :-)01/06/2015, By ResendHafizah AnwaryThank you so much for cream and gel! It works like a bomb!! Grandad dislocated his foot last year, and has arthritis, he had pain and after applying, he felt almost instant relief in the african potato cream.. thank you for making such wonderful products :)19/05/2015, By SuzelleMy skin is dry and eczema prone and I find this cream very soothing and healing. I get allergy flare-ups when the skin around my eyes, especially the lids, becomes inflamed - red, puffy and itchy. The African Potato Cream works wonders. Its easily as good as the expensive stuff prescribed by the dermatologist, but without the dangerous side-effects.17/05/2015, By PeggyThis cream is wonderful for my very tricky face condition. It moisturizes yet not oily, helps with acne, scars and I get occasional eczema, after using it for a month, no flare ups. Very happy with it.02/05/2015, By VirnessaI have been using it for about a month (3 times a day) and so far Im very pleased with its effectiveness in helping me with very stiff and often painful trapezius muscles, as well as arthritic shoulder joint pains.
I find that it gets absorbed easily by the skin, though you must rub it in well. The smell is not overpowering like other anti-inflammatory ointments. I would recommend that you wait a few minutes before putting clothes on the area since a brownish residue may rub off on your clothing, but it will wash out easily.
I also find it useful as a facial moisturiser at night - probably due to the aloe content.10/03/2015, By LesleyI have used African Potato cream for about 15 years. My father who was 92 swore by it and used it for his skin which became terribly thin as he got older and for all his aches and pains. It is also great for eczema and I always take a few tubs of cream to my daughter when we go to the UK as she has very bad eczema. I highly recommend it!08/03/2015, By DrKnowThis product I tried as a free gift and sample and well, I liked it sooo much I bought the product!
It has an amazing effect on pain...arthritic joint pain in particular. You don need much but rub it on good. The pain is almost immediately eased. It continues to work for hours and you don notice its effects until you stop using it! It is best used continually to achieve maxim pain and swelling relief.
It is also great to use as an antiseptic and has helped itchy skin.
Wonderful product. A little goes a very long way.
