Keep it fresh — pump only
Please don’t unscrew the pump top. This cream carries less than 1% preservative — a fraction of what mass-market creams rely on, and part of what makes it special. That’s why it needs your care: unscrewing the top or touching the stem lets air and skin bacteria straight into the cream. Use only the pump — first press to last — and your cream stays exactly as we made it.
What Our Customers Say
Real words from our public Google reviews:
★★★★★ “I am very pleased to order Hyaluronic Acid & 30% paw paw face cream. I have been using this cream for over 12 years, since Tom was on Current Affairs. My skin is very soft & as I’m 73 years old I can recommend this product. I’m happy anyway, and have not had any problems. Just buy 1 at first, just to make sure your skin doesn’t react. Happy customer”

★★★★★ “I purchased the Real McArthur Paw Paw Face Cream recently, and I am already a huge fan – not only does it glide on the skin like silk, but it absorbs into the skin gloriously as well as giving the skin a wonderful nourished feel. I can’t wait to try more products from this company and see how good they work on my skin.”

I have been using this cream for several years now and my face loves it. I have dry skin and with other face moisturisers it can still feel like sandpaper once the cream is absorbed. I also live in a harsh climate and spend a lot of time outdoors. With this product I only need a tiny bit and my face stays soft and smooth all day long. 1 bottle lasts me about 6 months so very economical.
