Love. My skin always looks positively radiant after using this cream and no matter how much I use it its never broken me out (I thought it might at first since its incredibly hydrating and I have combo-bordering-oily skin). I alternate between this and Marios seaweed night cream though anyways. Oh, and the jar lasts forever so its well worth the price.

This cannot really be called a cream...it is more of a balm. It is VERY moisturizing, and would be considered greasy by most. I use it prior to using my High Frequency device, which dries skin. Even after that, it keeps my dry skin smooth all night in an arid winter climate. The light honey scent is very nice, and the consistency good. I used it all over the face, neck, and eye area.
The one negative for me on this is that MB is still using parabens as preservatives. Until they change to P-20 or another non-estrogenic preservative, I will stick with Weleda's Everon for when my skin really needs help.

The Mario Badescu Website reccomends this night cream for combination, dry and sensitive skin and describes it as "A skin softening cream providing a combination of natural oils with Bee Pollen and Honey Extract that hydrate and improve the texture of the skin overnight". A jar lasts me about three months and I've used two. I've also tried the Mario Badescu Vitamin E Night Cream, but this is my favorite. My skin is very dry, fair, acne prone and slightly sensitive. When using this I wake up with soothed, moisturized and radiant skin. It's a great night cream!

I agree with the other reviewer. I liked the smell and thick consistency of this product.... until I woke up in the morning with pimples. This does make an excellent eye cream though.

I received a sample of this and when I first tried it I had high hopes. It was very moisturizing, a little goes a long way and my skin was soft and smooth. I really liked the scent too, a bit like fresh flowers but not overpowering. So I wake up the next morning and I was shocked to see the blaring red pimples that sprouted on my face! I have pretty good skin and rarely break out, ever. I used the remainder of the sample on my neck and it was fine, in fact I like it as a neck/decolletage moisturizer, but I won't ever use this on my face again.
