People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 3.0k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this cream is highly recommended for normal to dry skin, providing intense and long-lasting hydration that effectively combats dryness and flakiness without feeling heavy. Users frequently note its whipped, cushiony texture that absorbs well, creating a smooth base for makeup. Some users with oily or sensitive skin, or those sensitive to fragrance, may find it unsuitable, and a moderate number of reviews mention the strong herbal scent as a drawback.
