    This cream from the UK is or perhaps now was manufactured for the Boots pharmaceutical chain over there, and it has only 3 things going well for it:

    Ease of lathering: 10/10--It does lather very well and easily. No complaints there.

    Longevity of lather: 10/10--That's the second good thing about it. The lather lasts properly.

    General skincare: 1/10--I should give it a zero, but I'm a nice guy. It dries my skin badly. Hardly any menthol.

    Scent: 1 bootslather.jpg /10--It smells cheap and artificial. Yechhhhhhhh - I hate it.

    Price: 10/10--That's the third and last good thing about it. It's not even worth so little.

    Would I buy again: 0/10--Now, I won't be a nice guy - I wouldn't want it even for nothing.

    I had a couple of tubes of this cream because I received them either in trade, or because they were sent to me as gifts, but I can say this - the cream never worked for me, it never gave me any pleasure, and it always seemed to dry my skin, or irritate it. Although menthol is listed as an ingredient, it is so subdued that you really cannot feel it, except perhaps after a cold water rinse. The lather and price are however very good. If you have skin that can stand up to anything, and you only have a small budget, then this cream might be worth buying.

    I think the cream is ok. The consistency was rather strange but all others, incl. scent was ok. For me nothing to run for.
