This is an incredible product and if you can afford it then don’t hesitate because this is worth every penny. It’s a rich, luxurious and highly hydrating cream that plumps up skin and gives it a beautiful velvety softness. I believe it is made with aging or/and dehydrated skin in mind - it’s intensely nourishing and may be too heavy for younger or oily skin types. It doesn’t leave a greasy residue LoTem · spacenk.com
