I've been using the Vitamin E Cream for a week now and have tried out the Tissue Oil for a couple of pumping sessions too, so this feedback will be concerned mainly with the Cream.
I like the fact that the Vit E Cream is unfragranced and non-irritating - great for sensitive skin! It is easily absorbed and gives generous moisturising without being so greasy that I have to wipe my hands in order to get a good grip on the pump. The Tissue Oil, as expected, was far greasier and it's best to use a baby wipe to clean off any residue from hands before pumping.
I didn't check to see whether the cream made the after pumping red ring marks disappear any quicker until Dollface pointed out that it does. I would definitely agree that it works well as a barrier cream and causes the marks to fade faster than usual. When using Noogleberry I've not been loyal to any particular cream and have used cocoa butter, Vaseline and Bio Oil, amongst others. I can't say that the Vit E Cream has been any more or less effective in helping me get a seal than any other cream I've tried, but it hasn't clogged my pores in the same way the others have. I sometimes pump 3 or 4 times a day , which means that I am piling on layer upon layer of cream - something my skin isn't used to! As a result of this build up of oils I've had some spots around the top of my chest, but the Vit E Cream seems to have cleared them and not caused any further breakouts.
Another plus point is that both products have an expiry date on them :- 2009 (Vit E) & 2010(Tissue Oil), but should be used within 12 months of opening. Most beauty products don't show this and I often wonder how long they've been sitting around on shelves!
Overall, I would happily recommend this cream. It has left my skin looking supple and healthy and can be used for many different skin ailments, most notably, it claims to be good for stretchmarks. Thankfully, as far as I'm aware, none of us have suffered stretchmarks as a result of Noogleberrying, but using this cream may give extra peace of mind, especially to newbies starting out.
