I know it says Cream, but this is actually a Cleanser & Exfoliator. This is one of the best cleansers I have ever tried. It is specifically made for restoring radiance to give you that glowing look by gently exfoliating your skin and protecting the skins natural moisture barrier. What it does is it helps attract water to the skin and binds it so that it retains to your skin. This has no sulfates in it . After using this cleanser for about a week or so, wow , my skin felt so much smoother and even looked it. I get blackheads in certain areas of my face and this made the appear smaller and less visible to the point where they looked completely gone. You can tell that it hydrates the skin, you can just feel it. Overall it improved the health of my skin. It's a little expensive at $36.00 for like a 6.75 oz bottle i believe, but it Is so worth it!
