Reviews Summary

Customers say this moisturizer effectively addresses dry, rough skin concerns. Many reviews highlight its fast absorption and non-greasy texture. While some experience initial stinging upon application, most report soft, plump skin after regular use. The product works well under makeup for some users, though others note it may pill. Some mention it takes time for skin to adjust, with a few reporting irritation or breakouts. Reviews indicate it's particularly helpful during winter months and when using other potentially drying skincare products. Most find it provides lasting hydration, though some users with extremely dry skin note needing more frequent application.

It works well but it smells like Play Dough and it is hard to squeeze out of bottle and doesn’t have enough product.
