This rich moisturiser is excellent for restoring hydration in dry skin, though its heavy texture may feel too occlusive for humid South African summers. It serves as a reliable, versatile option that works well as both a daily cream and an intensive overnight treatment.

The Du-Pont Shea Butter Lush Moisturiser is a robust option for those struggling with dryness or dullness. Its rich, emollient texture provides an immediate sense of hydration, making it an excellent choice for restoring comfort to thirsty skin. Because of its dense consistency, it performs exceptionally well as an intensive overnight treatment, allowing the blend of shea butter, squalane, and niacinamide to work deeply while you sleep. While it can function as a makeup primer for those with very dry skin, the formula is quite heavy, which may feel too occlusive during the peak of humid South African summers. The inclusion of turmeric and hyaluronic acid adds a thoughtful touch for supporting skin renewal and elasticity. Overall, this is a reliable and versatile moisturiser that offers great value for anyone needing a significant moisture boost, provided you adjust your application based on your skin's current needs and the local climate.
