I received a sample of this in a goody bag and I'm glad I didnt spend "real money" on it. While the texture and consistency of this cream seemed nice enough, I could not get over the very strong scent of stagnant water (think laundry left in the washing machine for a week). The scent lingers for hours too. Will be using it up on my feet, as furthest away from my nose.

I was sent this as a sample with another order. It sat in my draw for a while until I ran out of my previous brand, so I used this as a fill in. Just a little about my skin; I get a moderately oily t-zone which is usually easily agitated (breakouts) by moisturisers and foundations. I also have very dry and dehydrated skin everywhere else. This product worked really well on my skin so I did a little research and found that... - the brand is cruelty-free - all but one of their products are vegan - there’s no oil in this moisturiser - no artificial fragrance - ingredients are ethically sourced and environmentally friendly - it’s a really clean brand that uses really simple ingredients - no weird nasties here! So now I can use as much as I like without breaking out. It doesn’t make my oily patches worse. I’m not left with a nasty skin-suffocating film, it absorbs in really nicely and actually leaves a lovely invigorating feeling to the skin and fresh (but natural) subtle smell. It also makes a really nice base to makeup. My only complaint is the price, but I’ll still go back for more, you get what you pay for I suppose! My teenage daughter (with very dry skin) is certainly helping me get there quicker as she likes it too! In short, it’s gentle, it’s vegan, it does the job well. I highly recommend.

For anyone who’s looking for a decent moisturiser that wouldn’t make the situation worse I’d recommend this cream. It works well both with the other skincare products and with makeup. Doesn’t cause acne or irritation.
