I got this free as part of the product review club & am oh so happy! This cream is amazing. It goes on so smoothly compared to other creams. And since I work in a scent free workplace it’s so nice to be able to use this as needed when I’m working. Compared to some of the heavier creams it doesn’t ball up on my skin. Goes on easily, soaks in quickly and moisturizer - everything I need. I don’t need to wait before putting clothes on as it absorbs in that fast. Unfortunately it showed up after my skin had recovered from the wicked long cold snap but I’m sure it would work just as well then as a daily boost. -

In terms of texture & moisturizing this is a really nice moisturizer when you don’t need the thickness of a body butter but want something a little more substantial than most pump creams.
This cream goes on really smoothly and does not ball up as some thicker creams do. It moisturizers really well too. Living in a northern climate I find that most pump moisturizers do not really do that job after a shower. And the heavy duty ones are a little too much for daily use. This one is just right. The only thing that I don’t like about it is the perfume. I am not sensitive in general but I find some of the “old school” need to perfume the heck out of skin care products a little much. I have the thicker Nivea cream and it does not have nearly as heavy a perfume....maybe since that is also geared towards men they kept it light. Why do people think that creams targeted toward women need to sound like a bad perfumery? Also I work in a scent free workplace and the scent lingers for quite a while so I don’t know if I can wear it to work.
Anyway overall this is a great moisturizer if you don’t mind a little (a lot really) perfume. If it weren’t for that I would totally buy it but until then my search continues.

This product was very nice and gentle. I had no stinging or tingling on my face or eyes and it didn’t leave any residue. I don’t wear much makeup, especially around the eyes so I can’t say how well it removes stubborn makeup.
I love the convenience of micellar products and the fact my face doesn’t feel dry and tight after cleansing. I’ve been using Vichy for a few months before trying this one. I can’t say I noticed a huge difference so this one is a good value. It’s amazing how even when not wearing makeup how much stuff comes off just from being out of the house.

My main eye issues are a lack of firmness on the eye hood & some fine lines & loss of elasticity under the eye. I have only a little darkness and no bags under my eyes which seems to be what most eye creams are designed for. So when I saw this reasonably priced cream which has lots of positive reviews re tightening up the hoods I had to try it. Honestly I haven’t noticed a huge difference but it’s only been a couple of months. What I do like however is that it is a thinner lotion that glides on & soaks in quickly. Much better for trying to get out the door in the morning. I don’t actually use the metal tip as I find better control with my fingers & don’t have puffiness so don’t really need the cool soothing metal. Overall for the price I think it is a good value. I’ll probably buy it again but am still trying different creams out so I’m holding out the final verdict until I’m closer to finishing the tube. -

I’d tried a few natural B.B. & cc creams f had reactions plus they balled up on my skin. This cream has been great. It has a nice subtle tint. I don’t want full coverage, just some tone evening, so this is perfect. The scent is delicious (literally...it is a sweet orange with what seems like a hint of chocolate). It goes on nicely and I don’t need to reapply. And since it has SPF 30 I don’t need any additional sunscreen. I can’t speak for its anti-aging properties as I haven’t noticed a significant change & it is just one part of my routine. Also I don’t use it every day as I often just go without any tint. -

This cream started my whole journey into derm skin care. I’ve always taken good care of my skin but never really thought that the pricier derm brands were worth the price & hadn’t really tried them. Then I got some of this balm. It felt so luxurious going on & is so thick, rich & moisturizing. And the light scent is heavenly. I know some reviews have been poor saying it balls up & sloughs the skin. I’ve only had that happen once in all the time I’ve used it and I’m not sure why. It was a really humid rainy day so maybe that was it. Regardless I’m hooked. It is quite rich so I am also going to try some of their lighter body moisturizers for those less dry days f parts. -

I was looking for a cheaper but quality alternative to pricier derm skin brands sogave it a try. Its definitely very hydrating & luxurious feeling but even for my combination skin it’s too much. It’s a day cream but I think would be better as a night cream in winter. When I tried to use it twice a day I broke out, which is a very rare reaction for me. After a month I didn’t notice any improvement in my skin. Also the scent is overpowering. I don’t mind delicately scented products but this was a harsh overpowering scent. Overall I think if you have very dry skin this may work for you but not for me. -
