Better Options Out There

I received a generous product sample of the St Ives watermelon moisturizer. I did like how it was a gel consistency which is best for my combination skin. It certainly smelled like watermelon, but contains fragrance which I try and avoid in leave on products. At first application it did leave a bit of a burning sensation (I suspect due to the fragrance). I would recommend a product like Hydro Boost over this one.

Scent too strong, cream seems good

Listen, the fact is that this cream is FAR too strongly fragranced. I do have a strong nose, but I don't have scent aversion. It's rare that there's a cream I can't use. However I couldn't use this past one time because it was just too strongly scented. It has an awful saccharine, fake watermelon smell that had me gagging.

It's a shame, as the product seems good. It doesn't feel sticky, dries quickly and has a comfortable gel-cream format. My skin immediately felt softer. If they released a scent-free option I'd be all over it, but I just feel like the scent is way overdone here.
