Not that hydrating. It stings due to urea and strong medicinal fragrance maybe as I have rosacea. There are better products than this. I initially have loved this as it is fa-safe.

I tend to like to use this product during my night time routine and especially for the colder months (autumn + winter seasons). I have seen cases where this moisturizer had Show more
i would only recommend this product to those who have dry skin as it does nothing but provide intense hydration

if you have severe dry skin this is perfect all year round but if not, i would suggest only using Show more
