I love this moisturizer. It absorbs into my skin beautifully and leaves it feeling and looking hydrated without looking shiny or greasy. I cannot recommend this product more

This product is a good facial moisturizer. I've started using it exclusively for day wear as it leaves my skin soft. I find that there's a faint sheen after using it but nothing that can't be fixed wi...Read more

This product would be really good for someone with very dry and sensitive skin.

In the winter i use this for the day and it does a perfect job at keeping my skin moisturized

This is a very nice moisturizer for my normal-to-dry skin in spring and fall, and I'm okey with the lavander smell. In fact I'm a fan of aromatherapy.:-) I don't know if it works for fine lines as I ...Read more
