overall, i'm quite happy with this product
i have combination/normal skin prone to reacting to some products. while i'm guessing the emulsion would have been better for my skin and more regular use, i am finding this lovely a couple of times a week on my exfoliation and mask nights. it definitely deals with redness, tightness and itchiness around nose - and most importantly, it rescued my skin after a tried a mask sample that really stung :clapping:
this is probably the heaviest cream i have tried in some time - but it does eventually soak into my skin giving it the extra drink it needs during winter. if you had drier skin i think this would make a great day cream because it somehow both mattifies pores and gives lovely glow
i have to warn that the very strong smell when i opened the jar is very strong and not what i expected - like something that was designed to scare off insects - but that somehow changes (phew!) when on the skin to an light aroma that reminds me of wisteria
