I am a boda boda rider in Nakuru, so sun and dust beat my face and forearms every day. By night my skin felt tight.
My cousin gave me a tube of Magnum. I did the patch test first as the box says, then use a thin layer after washing at night. My skin feels softer in the mornings.

Test on the inner forearm first, then spread a thin layer over clean, unbroken skin. Wash your hands afterwards.
It is a nourishing skin cream, so daily use is normal. If redness or burning appears, stop and rinse it off.
The patch test matters most for you. Nut oils and arnica can trigger reactions, so skip it if the test spot reddens.
It is a rich but easily spread cream, with a soft finish from shea and the lighter feel of almond and jojoba oils.
Only a name and a number go in. M-Pesa, card and bank details are never requested.
The supplier's agent calls to settle your town, the drop-off point, the quantity and a convenient day.
Payment is made in shillings to the rider when you collect the parcel, not before.
