I like this cream...I'm just a little unsure of what it is supposed to do? It is touted as a "protective cream" for cold weather which has exfoliating properties, so maybe a moisturizer? That is what I use it for. I have been using this as a morning moisturizer, but I have very dry, dehydrated skin and this can leave me a little shiny after about an hour. So, oily skinned gals probably would be better using this at night. I have sensitive skin that is prone to clogged pores and this cream hasn't caused any breakouts, which is a great thing for me. The scent is suttle, but it's good.

I have spent years trying to find a moisturizer that won't break me out, and this one doesn't!!!! For me, this is a HUGE thing and i love it honestly, i do. At first i felt ripped off since the packaging is a bit small and it's a 1 oz. jar but when i felt the consistency of the cream i felt better. Its a creamy balm like texture and sweeping your finger over the surface gives you enough for your whole face. So this will last you a long time. So far this cream has not only not broken me out but i find that my face has a more even texture, isn't as dry and flaky, smoother, and smells nice.
I have very sensitive skin and it loves to break out so to find a moisturizer like this one is heaven sent!

I absolutely LOVE this cream. I put it on at night, to counter-act the dryness caused by my Neutrogena Acne Wash, and it works wonders. I'm normally pretty oily, but since winter hit, my skin has had very dry patches - lots of flakiness and general discomfort. Since I started using this, the Alpha-Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion, and the Honey Moisturizer during the day, my skin has been so soft and smooth with no flakiness or tightness! And it smells yummy, citrusy and clean, sort of like the Alpha-Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion. I just love it. MB skincare rocks!

I was hesitant to buy this product because I wasn't sure if I would break out from this cream. I have combination skin and during the winter, I have dry spots on my face. I needed something that wouldn't be too heavy, but moisturizing at the same time. This did the job. My skin drank it up and no breakouts! It goes well underneath my makeup too. I think I'll be using this as a makeup primer now.

I have oily and very sensative skin. Just about anything can cause tiny little whiteheads on my face! This cream has not caused any adverse reaction and I am totally in love with it. I have started using this as my face moisturizer due to my very dry and bone chilling windy climate!!! It has such a wonderful orange scent that wakes me up on those really tired mornings:) I will def buy this again and again but I do whish that they would put it in a different container or include a spatula so it could be scooped out with that instead of your fingers.

I have normal/combo skin that's dry in winter and oily in summer. And this moisturizer was actually really nice for me. I was afraid that sampling it in the summer vs. the winter that it would be too greasy for me. But it made my skin soft and smooth and gave it a great velvety appearance. I only used a sample pot of it, but I would buy a full-size.

combination skin, blemish prone, but this winter it has gone soo dry and flaky in areas. I had to start exfoliating every other day (MAC mifrofine refinisher!!) And this cream has helped to prevent the dryness from coming back. Love the scent, and just glad I found something I know wont break you out while being a thicker moisturizer! On my second tub, and one container lasts a loong time.

I have combination skin that can get dry or oily with blemishes if I don't take care of it. I needed something heavier than my oil free lotion for night and this is perfect. I have been using it for quite sometime now and it keeps my skin hydrated and silky smooth without causing any flareups. I even put it on when I have a breakout and I think it helps heal the trouble spots. I also think it gives the skin a nice glow because of the orangeish color. I recommend it to anyone who needs more hydration without the risk of breaking out.

I've been using this for about 3 weeks now and I LOVE IT! I have oily, acne-prone skin, but with the cold weather, my skin is getting somewhat dry in parts. I decided to try a protective cream, on the website this was one that was for my skin type that didn't have any oil in it. The smell for one, is great, just like a fresh orange! It keeps my skin hydrated and hasn't caused any breakouts, even on the nights I've fallen asleep without washing my face (usually a HUGE no no for oily girls!) Mario Badescu has so many great products, I cant live without them.
