I love this product. It sinks in nicely and leaves my skin dewy, not greasy and wonderfully hydrated. The lavender scent is relaxing. It's the best moisturizer I've found so far to calm, soothe and protect my skin from the drying effects of Retin-A Micro. I would definitely buy this again but you only use very little so the 2oz jar should last me several months.

Ingredients: Certified organic lavender hydrosol (lavandula officinalis), certified organic plant oils of safflower oil (carthamus tinctorius), sunflower (helianthus annuus), borage (borago officinalis), flax seed (linum usitatissimum) and jojoba (simmondsia chinensis), shea butter (butyrospermum parkii), certified organic aloe barbadensis, glyceryl stearate, vegetable glycerin, mango butter (mangifera indica), sorbitan stearate, sorbitol, vegetable squalane, organic algae extract, NaPCA, panthenol (pro-vitamin B5), retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), beta carotene, methyl/propylparaben, and pure essential oils.

I just discovered this at my local health food store. It is working great for my dry and sensitive skin. I think that the price is really reasonable too.

I love this cream--it's perfect for my Retin-A parched skin, but doesn't bring out the zits the retin-a is treating. I've flirted around with other moisturizers (most recently, SkinFood by Weleda), but keep coming back to this one. It's emollient without being greasy (absorbs well and leaves a moist, matte finish). It's totally worth the $$, and a good topper for more invasive treatments.

I bought this product as an experiment since I liked the Daily Moisture Cream so much (and was loathe to wipe the jar one more time!). This cream's pretty heavy duty. I have dry/normal-to-dry skin, depending on my water-drinking level, but this was moisturizing overkill for me. Definitely a night cream. It's been at least 7 months since I've bought it, and I still haven't finished it! This Ultimate Moisture Cream lives up to its name a little too well for me. Great product, but use it ONLY if your poor skin's the consistency of the Sahara Desert.

A nice cream moisturizer for night-time or when my dry-skin feels super parched. My sensitive skin seems to like the ingredients and it's quite inexpensive.

This is heavy-duty stuff that is better suited for night-time and/or spot treating dry patches. I love the natural lavendar essence!!!

A good thick moisturizing cream which smells good. However, although my skin is dry at this time of year it still cause small little pimples to arise.

This is a nice moisturizer but I would recommend it for people with drier skins since it made my oily face feel a little like an oil slick--but after I blotted my face with a little tissue paper I was okay. I think this might have contributed to my recent breakout...which doesn't make me happy!!
