Pretty intense, but don't recommend this for a face moisturizer b/c of the fragrance, which was pleasant, but can be very irritating to the skin. Any other dry, rough patch you have on the body, go...

I was traveling and in desperate need of a hand cream, so I bought a small 10 ml tube of this. It did suffice as a hand cream, and although it's greasier than I prefer, I was generally satisfied...

I think this product is great! It makes my hands so soft! It is a very thick formula and it does have a bit of a greasy feel to it. So if you like something light, you may not like this. It's...

I don't get the hype about this product. It's basically just sunflower oil, water and wax. That being said I love the smell. I sort of citrusy-floral-perfume scent. Nice. The texture is nice -...

I really like this product for dry winter hands and cuticles. It's too thick for all over body use IMO and I think there are better moisturizers for that. The smell does take getting used to but I...
