I love this night cream. I have dry/sensitive/breakout-prone skin that sometimes gets oily as a reaction to being dry, and it has caused me no problems. it sinks in well if you put it on before your skin is completely dry (as with most moisturizers!). I don't really use it anymore because i've discovered that i prefer to use the day cream with a dollop of Vitamin C skin boost gel, but that doesn't mean i don't still love it and wouldn't buy it again, because i would.

I bought this based on the good reviews here. I have dry, sensitive skin. This seemed to sit on my skin without ever absorbing much. It did not irritate my skin, but it didn't moisturize enough either. It has a slightly weird smell but it disappears quickly. Not too expensive, but I returned it because it just wasn't good enough.

I love this cream. I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and dryness in other areas. This cream completely takes care of the dryness without breaking me out or making the oily parts worse. I usually avoid moisturizers because of the break-outs even with the dry skin but this stuff is great! I've already bought it a few times and will continue to use it. I use it day and night with no problems.

I've never been a big fan of night creams. Most of them tend to be too occlusive for my combo skin but this one is GREAT! It soothes my skin and reduces redness without being too heavy. I mix it with a drop of rosehip seed oil along with a drop of tea tree oil and it becomes a triple duty soothing, anti-aging, and anti-acne moisturizer combination. I wake up and my skin is glowing!
Update: This ended up being too rich on it's own but if I mix it 50/50 with the daily moisture cream I get great results

I use this cream both morning and night, making sure it has time to soak in before applying make up in the morning. It passes "the test" - no dryness around my nose in the winter. I've yet to find anything that compares to it for less than twice the price.

Excellent soothing night cream. Very rich and non-irritating to my super-sensitive skin. It kept me from peeling like a snake this winter.

I just bought this during a layover in the Atlanta Harsfield airport and I must say, I'm glad I did. I was looking for a new moisturizer and this does the job for my very dry skin. The smell that other reviewers have referred to is probably the calendula and the lavender, which doesn't bother me at all. I think that for the price this is the best cream out there for really dry skin (and I've tried quite a few). $14 for 1.7 ounces, can't beat it!

I've used this night cream for the daytime during our Canadian winters. It takes a bit of time to absorb, but seems to work well to prevent dry skin. I wish TBS would using a masking agent to hide the usual scent/smell of something 'gone off' in this product.

This is an amazing cream. I have sensitive skin and this moisturizer calms it and gets rid of any redness by the end of the night. The consistency is perfect; not too heavy and not too light. During winter months my skin gets very irritated and dry but I wake up with smooth, baby soft skin everytime I use it. Among other ingredients this cream includes soy oil, brazil nut oil, avocado oil, calendula extract and lavender. I higly recommend it! I'm almost done with my first tub and running to the store to get more. EDIT: I rediscovered this cream again this winter and I love, love, love it! HG!!!

I have finally found my HG night cream. This product says it's for dry or sensitive skin, so I bought it thinking that it might very well break me out but that at least it wouldn't irritate (I have combo, sensitive, acne-prone skin). After a weeks worth of nightly use, I have no new breakouts and smoother skin. I love the lightly floral scent - it reminds me of products that cost twice the price for half the product, like Dr. Haushka. This moisturizer is a definite keeper! UPDATE - God I love this night cream. My face is glowing! But...my husband confessed that he thinks it smells like sour milk. I don't, but because of this I won'd be repurchasing. Still, I completely and whole heartedly recommend this night cream, and I'm still using my existing tub until I find something else to replace it.
