    This was such a lovely product! This review is for the European version. Launched in the autumn 1996 and it was the equivalent of Estee Lauder's Verité Moisture Relief Creme (see separate review)....

    I bought this cream for my dry areas during winter, it's incredibly rich, but it gave me only a very temporary effect. As soon as cream is absorbed, the dry patch re-appears. Also, it made my skin...

    I love this cream. My skin is sensitive and reacts unpredictably. I rely on this to calm it down when it gets red and irritated -- it works very rapidly and it never fails. Great stuff.
