No results at all

I have used this cream for about two months with zero change/improvement to my skin. I have had ichthyosis all my life and was hopeful that, based on all of the positive reviews, it would have at least reduced some of the scaling on my legs and shoulders. There has been no change at all. What was more disappointing was when I emailed the company about it, I received no response. For the cost of this cream, I would have expected better results and at least some response from customer service.

Truly works, excellent product!

Truly works! I had a weird mark on my forehead, about the size of a 20p, for years, at least a decade, skin specialists advised it would need to be removed via laser which I really didn’t want to do. It had started to darken, increase in diameter and was more raised than ever and it looked really noticeable. I came across this cream, I was highly sceptical but was persuaded by the reviews. At about the 10 day stage I started to notice a considerable change, and now, at about 20 days in, the skin blemish has nearly disappeared. This stuff 100% works, thank you.

Just purchased this product and so far so good cept the price so I use it once a week while I use lac-hydrin12% or similar and works so far great but also I have to consider it being late spring(may) and my skin naturally exfoliate to a certain point but I'm looking forward to summer now.

Thank you for your review. It is great to hear you are seeing results with G16. The best way to use G16 usually, for most people, is to not use any other lotions and apply it twice a day to completely dry skin. When the skin is looking healthy and renewed you can start to use less G16 to simply maintain the skin. Having said that, if this method works for you then that is super!

Great lotion for Ichthyosis

I've bought five times on Amazon for this product, and it works great. if you follow the instructions, the dead skin will peel off, and work much better than other products on the market

Been using this cream 2 months and the scaly areas on my entire body from overexposure to the sun are gone with the exception of a couple stubborn spots that are taking longer. My skin is no longer dry. This is the only thing I have found to work! highly recommend. I am waiting for it to correct my crepey skin.

Different to normal creams, lotions

Overall: great product, noticeable results with consistent use, high price tag, worth trying to see if it works for you.

In depth: Really like this product, has seemed to be the only thing that has significantly evened and smoothed deeper lines on my legs after continued use. Haven’t used again for a while and lines have since returned. I can get away with certain cheaper aha moisturisers on most of body so reserve this for bottoms of legs and elbows, middle of back. Fortunately my condition is not severe but have seen noticeable difference after consistent use. I have only given 4 as couldn’t quite bring myself to put 5 with such a high price tag. I’m almost regretting taking the plunge the first time now as having seen the difference I am now purchasing again as we come in to summer and want to feel more comfortable with legs out eta. Because of the price I’d advise using this in conjunction with other lotions/emollients etc (whatever’s working for you) and reserve this for the worst patches. A little goes a long way but still holds a premium price tag, and like me you’ll probably want to buy repeat orders and this is the only way I can make it a viable affordable option for myself.

Thank you ever so much for your thorough review. We are thrilled G16 works well on your stubborn areas.

We have tried to make G16 as cheap as we possibly can and have had only one price increase in the last 8 years. If you compare G16's price to other leading skincare brands on the market, you will find that we slot in below most of these. G16 works extremely well and there is nothing on the market that comes close to it when the instructions are followed exactly.

Leaves Behind Softer, Moisturized Skin

I have been using the G16 lotion on and off for over five years! It is the best lotion I have found to treat my Lamellar Ichthyosis. The lotion assists with the exfoliation of my skin and after continued use, I am left with much softer skin, moisturized skin. The lotion significantly decreases the thickness of and amount of scaling and decreases the level of dryness. It provides me so much relief (more than any other lotion I have tried) by relieving the tight feeling of my skin and the need to apply lotion as often.

Great product for anyone with ichthyosis

Great product for anyone with ichthyosis. It does sting if gotten on open wounds or small cuts, about 20 seconds then it goes away. Consistent use has the best results to completely remove flaking and scaling and leave a soft skin behind. Have tried so many creams and this one works by far the best.

Great product , bad customer experience

My bf uses this for his ichtyosis and it is indeed the only thing so far that completely exfoliates the dead skin off and leaves him with soft skin. For that I can’t give it a low rating. That being said, The price for the puny amount is so frustrating. for a 6’1 man who needs to use it every day, it runs out in a little over a week which means to achieve consistent results, the price is unsustainable to keep buying (around 2k a year.) it is frustrating that there are no deals for buying in bulk, the website seems like it hasn’t been updated since the 90s, the packaging feels very cheap and the branding looks like was designed in clipart. If a company wants to charge 50 pounds for a 200ml bottle at least they can insure a better customer experience. Maybe offer a subscription based price given they are offering treatments for mostly chronic skin conditions. Waiting patiently for someone to create a formula to compete that will get this company to step their game up in other departments.

Thank you for your honest review and comments. We are of course really pleased the lotion is working well.

We are a very small company, operating in a hugely strict and expensive arena. We keep the price as low as we can to remain in business and keep helping people. We have had just one price increase in the last 8-10 years.

The lotion is designed to be used less and less as the skin repairs. To begin with yes, you will need to use quite a lot; but once the skin is looking how you want it, you can start to use less to simply maintain the skin. Some people drop to once a day (instead of the twice a day needed to begin with), others use it every other day or even one week on-one week off. This greatly reduces the amount you need to spend going forwards.

We will continue to try and improve in all areas where possible and if we can help you personally any further please do not hesitate to get in touch directly.

No magic ingredients!

A topical acid to chemically exfoliate the skin is often suggested for KP skin. The active ingredient in G16 seems to be a compound of glycolic acid with added moisturisers and aloe Vera for calming inflammation. The Ordinary sell an excellent 7% glycolic toner for under £10 and you can easily moisturise on top ( glycerin or Vaseline types of occlusive moisturisers). I’m afraid I won’t be recommending this £50 lotion to my son!

Thank you for your review. We are sorry you do not feel G16 is the right fit for your son.

We have been developing and testing G16 Skin Repair Lotion for over 15 years in five laboratories across the world in order to achieve the most effective treatments for several types of skin conditions including several different types of Ichthyosis, Keratosis, Dry Skin, Acne and Psoriasis.

It is produced using the correct balance of natural acids and natural moisturisers along with specific vitamins to give the skin the best chance of replenishing. G16 lotion is treated and formulated using our unique production process. It takes three months to produce and is designed to safely speed up the skins natural skin shedding process.

It removes dead skin cells and stimulates new healthy cell production; leaving the skin glowing and nourished. It penetrates deep into the skin repairing the new skin underneath before it reaches the surface.

Seborrheic Keratosis removal

For about 6 years I have had a horrible Seborrheic Keratosis on the side of my head, with the only way of removal was by a private Hospital, and a £1200 bill as the NHS will not remove them. After some research on Google I came across the G16 web site, could this be the answer I thought.
I was very sceptical and read all the reviews and nearly all of them were good, also their were photos of before & after that showed the product worked. And they offered a refund if it did not work.
I placed an order and a few days later my order arrived.
You have to follow the instructions to the letter but as my skin was sensitive I had to use only once a day after contacting customer service about a sensitive area.
After 5 weeks it’s all gone ! No horrible mark on the side of my head, it’s truly unbelievable.
So if you suffer with Seborrheic Keratosis this is the product for you, and after a few weeks following the instructions to the letter it will be gone
Thank you G16 a very happy customer

G16 skin cream is the best cream ever

G16 skin cream is the best thing yet to resolve my ichthyosis. Like others have experienced, it’s a matter of 2 weeks or less and my leg skin was as best as it has ever been in my whole life. I have always hated my skin and noticed how people look pitifully at me when they see my skin. All I need now is a miracle cure for seborrheic keratosis on my body and seborrheic dermatitis (on my scalp) !!!! Any ideas? I have been waiting for 9 months for an NHS appt at dermatology. Nothing yet. Shame G16 is so expensive. From Anita.

Thank you so much for you great review. It is absolutely wonderful to hear of your great results! G16 is actually also good for seborrheic keratosis. It take a bit longer to work on this (more like 6-10 weeks) but you should see results. G16 can also be used on the scalp. It is best to do it at night so you can then wash your hair in the morning.

G16 Skin Repair lotion

Good afternoon. I have had ichthyosis vulgaris since birth. In winter and spring, the skin becomes very dry and with corns on the body, especially the legs and arms. I was constantly looking for a solution to this issue, I searched for a long time, I tried various medicines throughout my life. But the result was insignificant and short-lived. Doctors cannot recommend anything really effective. In March of this year, I found G16 Skin Repair lotion on the Internet. I bought the first 2 bottles in the spring and did not believe in help. However, I did everything according to the instructions. After a few days, I immediately felt that my skin was not as dry as usual. After 2 weeks, the first peeling of dry skin began. After a little more than a month, I was already happy with new clean skin and could not believe that it was really true. During this period, as an adult, I could never go out to people with exposed body parts - arms, legs. For the first time in 48 years, you can safely train in the gym in a T-shirt and shorts, walk down the street, in shops and other public places in a T-shirt and shorts, and go to the pool. And don't look around to see if someone is looking at you. I am simply amazed at the effectiveness of the lotion !!! Then I ordered 2 bottles 2 more times. Now I maintain therapy 1-2 times a week, usually after a shower. Order processing and dispatch is organized by the supplier in a short period of time. When used on a permanent basis, the consumption of lotion is reduced, as it is only necessary to maintain the nourishment of the skin. Wife also tried this face lotion and also saw positive changes in a very short time. This is impressive! With the G16 Skin Repair lotion, a new era in life has opened for me. Thank you very much.
