I'm a woman who was starting to get some crepey skin on my arms and legs. Been using the fancy moisturizers, which are super expensive to no avail. I read the reviews of some of the other Old Spice Swagger products, many of which were by women who bought the product for their husband, but ended up using it because they loved the Swagger scent for themselves. My only connection with the Old Spice brand was seeing my dad use the original aftershave, so I had low expectations of this being anything more than a branding strategy. Boy was I wrong! This stuff is amazing! I was out of my expensive moisturizers (which were not working anyway) and rather than spend $50 on an 8 oz jar of cream, I ordered this. Started using it last week and amazingly my crepey skin is already markedly improved. Maybe it's just because it was less expensive and I'm using it more regularly. But it does have Argan oil, which I think adds to it's emollient effects. I love the smell, it's got a bit of a spicy scent - a bit of lemon zest and cedarwood - which is not overly musky or too sweet. I am so tired of all the women's products that are in pink packaging and marketed to teenagers and smell like bubblegum. And on the other end of the spectrum are the luxury spa items, that smell like dirt and have about the same result. Can't believe 4 bottles of this for less than half what I would pay for one jar of fancy stuff. I will continue to use this and will probably switch to other Old Spice lines. I realize this is big corp P&G which has some ethical sourcing and supply chain issues, which is a whole other topic of discussion. Nevertheless, one of the fancy brands I was using just got busted for palm oil sourced from cleared rainforests in Indonesia, so understanding a global supply chain is something that requires far greater investigation and depth of awareness, so please note this is a review for the product not the parent company. For what this is, which is good moisturizer at a reasonable price, I will give it 5 stars.
