    I like this product a lot - I use it as a night cream when I am down in Melbourne, where my skin gets super-dry. I like that I can also use it for dry patches, and I have no problem with it sinking...

    A good moisturizer for around the eyes, great for lips too. I could't use it on my whole face (too oily) and for me it's not such a great makeup base. So, good for dry patches of skin but nothing...

    A great moisturizer for dry, very dry skin. Great as an eye cream too. Not greasy and absorb really well.

    This moisturizer really helps calm my irritated, reactive skin, however, it doesn't seem to sink in and no matter how little I apply 10 minutes later I look like a grease pit! Also I don't think...

    This was not moisturizing enough for my face. I much prefer the hydrating treatment cream. I'm using it as hand cream. Will not repurchase.

    Not impressed with this product. I have somewhat dry skin and this does nothing for it. My skin still feels tight after putting lots on.

    I must say I'm now a fan of Paula's brand. This is more than great moisturizer for dry skin. My skin is smooth and even better now.

    Texture & performance-wise, this is a rich, effective moisturizer that would be excellent for "very dry" skin. Only catch for me was this product caused me blackheads on my nose, which looked...

    This is a very heavy and rich skin cream. I was using it in hopes to relieve some dryness caused by retin-a usage. But, I found that this cream contributed to more breakouts. Also, this cream did...
