Default Favorite brand of NPC?

I have just started back on NPC and bought a different brand that I'm not crazy about. It's made by KAL and it smells really bad! My husband won't come near me after I put it on. I think I'm going to return it and get a different brand. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

I use a brand that I buy online. It's called Endau Harmonizing Cream and is sold by Neways. It's really great. Soaks right into my skin and doesn't leave a greasy feel and it doesn't smell bad. I tried another NPC before that one and I had to use twice as much to get the same results because there were absorbancy deterants in it (the stuff that kept it from soaking into my skin). Also, the Endau has been great for my face and headaches. When I break out I just put a little on the problem areas and a couple days later it's cleared up. With my migraines, if I put a little on my temples it usually calms them down.

Hope that helps!

My two favorite brands would have to be ProgestaCare from Life-Flo and FeelGood2000 Natural progesterone cream. I was using the feelgood brand before because they shipped to Canada but not anymore unfortunately. But it's really good and smells like green tea :-) I now cross the border to Burlington Vermont to buy ProgestaCare which I also love because it comes in a pump which gives me exactly 20 mg per push so there is no guessing. Plus the ingredients in it are great and it's a high quality brand.

Emmanuelle, I just bought ProgestaCare a couple of weeks ago and love it, but I was wondering about something... it says that each pump distributes 20 mg, so what does 20 mg look like? The amount that comes out is so small that I wonder if my pump is not working right or if I 20 mg really is that small of an amount? I'd say the amount that comes out is about the size of a pea. Is that right?

Flutterby, there should be more than a pea size amount that comes out. You have to push all the way down. Is your pump new? When I first used mine, like the first two pumps it gave me about a pea size but then it stabilized itself and now it's giving me a constant 20 mg which would be about the length of a fat worm ;-)

Thanks Emmanuelle! I think something must be wrong with my pump. Sometimes I have to pump it six or seven times before anything comes out and then it is only a very tiny amount. I guess I'll just keep pumping until I get a "fat worm"!
