MY OPINION
I have fell in love with this moisturizer, it is perfect for my skin, it's nice and light unlike other moisturizers I have tried for my very dry skin. I find most moisturizers for dry skin either leave my skin very itchy or the moisturizer is so thick and doesn't sink in and a terrible base for make up. This is the complete opposite, it sinks in whilst I massage it into my skin and the lightness of it means I hardly use any. The cream is silky soft and has a single cream consistency. It takes me about 3 months to use a pot and that morning and night and some times in the summer I put it on just to freshen up. My make up sits really well and doesn't leave any dry and flakey patches. It also leaves a summer glow to the skin so most of the time I don't even have to put on foundation. It has a lovely clean, fresh smell to it and dosen't smell like chemicals like some other brands can have. The only downfall is the price, I got mine in a set from QVC on a todays special value which made it work out at about £8.00 for the pot so it worked out cheaper but on John Lewis it is £32.50 and on QVC it is £31.00. So I would recommend you get it when it a special value. It was worth the money in the set but individually I wouldn't pay the full price, it's just not in my price range.
