I bought it because I was tired of choosing between a cream that felt like a mask and one that had evaporated by eleven. This does neither. It is gone in seconds and my skin is still soft when I take my makeup off at night.

Two ingredients, no fragrance, and my reactive skin has been quiet for three months. I skipped a day by accident and could still feel the hydration, which honestly sold me on the 48 hour claim more than any advert did.

My shelf used to hold a day cream and a night cream and I never finished either. One jar now does both jobs and it is the first thing I have actually used down to the bottom in years.

It looks far too rich in the jar and then it is gone in about five seconds. I keep expecting my face to feel heavy by mid-morning and it never does.

January in a heated office usually wrecks my cheeks by the second week. I changed nothing else this winter and they stayed calm the whole way through.

Sixty seconds at the mirror and makeup goes straight over the top with no pilling, which was my one worry with anything this rich. I stopped keeping a tube at my desk.
