Thick, rich, but absorbs well
I have eczema and as a result my skin is ALWAYS dry. I have particularly bad dry patches on my face in the "T" zone (eyelids, bridge of nose) that are hard to moisturize. The prescription creams that my doctors give have steroids and say "do not use near eyes" and so I was looking for something equally thick and rich but that wouldn't be dangerous on my face. I found this cream first at a local retailer (think bullseye) for the same price as it is listed here so I gave it a try. Firstly, I love the scent. I think technically it is unscented but it has a nice pleasant smell to it that isn't floral or from additives. The cream is pretty thick so a little goes a long way. I use this cream, along with vitamin E oil, on my skin - top to bottom - every single day and one of these 4 oz containers lasts about 2 weeks. Which is awesome! My skin drinks it up pretty quickly without feeling dry afterward (which is what I usually feel after using regular lotion). It creates a light barrier to lock in moisture without being greasy. Since I use this on my face several times a day, the non-greasy part is important since make-up applies right on top without any problems. I often use this as a base for powder or eye shadow and it works perfectly. I absolutely would recommend this product. The price for a vitamin E product is really low (the oil I use costs $30 ) and if maybe that's because the whole thing is a scam I don't care! It works for me and my finicky skin, so I'm sticking with it! :
