Really moisturizing (no doubt), only complaint is that the product is really thick.

Very thick. Requires warming between fingertips before patting on face. My daughter advised me to pat it on rather than trying to rub. That was the trick. With over 60 skin, this product...

LOVE this product! I use a small amount each night on my face and hands and I awake with soft, dewey, supple skin; esp. around the eyes. I love the smell and the consistency- it feels like it...

Just found this at our local health food store for far less than the Whole Foods charges. I had used up my sample tube so wanted a full size. If you are over 40 and want a "dewy" look, this...

I buy the samples of this from target. I use this year around, but I mostly use it on the skin around my eyes. It keeps my concealer and foundation from caking and it works great. During the...

It does leave your skin super oily and doesn't seem to blend in well and tends to sit on top of it. I am on accutane now and my skin is beyond regular dry...and i am trying everything to calm it...

Despite all the rave reviews, it just didn't work for me. I used it on a couple of dry patches on my face and it brought me out in the worst spots ever and on my body it just left my skin sticky.

Wonderful product. I always stock up on skin food whenever I go to the UK. For hands, rough patches, even for my face it has proved to be very effective many times. I also like the smell. I would...

I have to admit when I first bought this I tried it, didn't like the fact that it is thick and hard to spread, wouldn't sink in, and just stayed on the surface of my skin. After that I put in my...
