I can't believe it...finally a product that lightly provides moisture and softness to my freaky oily, flaky, sensitive skin. It has a light fragrance but other than that it's almost perfect. I...

This is an adequate product - doesn't seem to clog my pores or cause problems. I like the eye cream better than the face cream, but both are okay. I'd buy it again, but I'd also keep shopping around.

This is an average moisturizer. It is creamy and absorbs well. It left a nice matte finish. The eye cream that comes with it on the top compartment of the piggy-back jar is nice and thick. The eye...
