I bought this after trying lots of various other moisturisers (both expensive and cheap) and none of them worked on my very very dry skin - caused by travelling. This worked a treat- it stopped my skin feeling tight, and flaking. And also felt like it really sank in and stayed protecting the top of the skin for hours. If you dont have dry skin you might not like this though as its a fairly heavy cream. Its so intensive a moisturiser its also good as a night cream (I much prefer it to the carrot night cream). Has a really nice light perfumed smell to it too. I now use it routinely twice a day. Really recommend it to anyone with dry skin.
