    It's incredibly thick! It's so thick and powerful. I think dry skin people would be benefited the most. For me it worked well with a very small amount. And I'm looking forward to the winter season....

    This is good stuff! First, it's one of the best hand creams in the world! It completely moisturizes my hands, making even a visible difference, but without any greasiness. Use a small amount first...

    This is a daily use product in my routine. It is a bit heavy/greasy for use of the entire face, but that's just personal preference. I use it under my eyes for a very hydrating and effective eye...

    My dry skin loves this. It is the only moisturizer out there that gives me enough moisture overnight. The only way that I can tolerate retinol is to make what I call a "retinol sandwich". I start...

    If you have skin as dry as a crocodile, you may really like this. It's super super thick and waxy and sticky. This means it's extra nourishing but it also means that if you have just normal-dry...

    overall: 9/10 This is a solid winter moisturiser for dry skin. I would avoid if you have combo-oily skin, as this cream is very thick and heavy. It has a similar texture to German formula Nivea...
