It didn't work for my normal dehydrated skin. I couldn't use it every evening; my skin was getting too dry and very sensitized. The cream is very light and absorbs quickly, probably would be better s...Read more

I used this on and off for a couple of years. It was an OK light moisturizer that didn't irritate my skin, but it wasn't moisturizing enough for my dry winter skin. I think it's quite overpriced as a ...Read more

Meh. It pills on top of my serum and other night creams don’t. It doesn’t feel very hydrating nor does it seem to do anything else.

What an ingredient list!

However, this product was not compatible for my sensitive skin type. I felt heat and tingling upon application.

I prefer the Resist Intensive Repair Cream.
