I used this In the cold months of november/december.
I stopped my whole skincare routine and just used this in my bathroom on my face in the morning and night (without cleansing). My skin was so moisturised and clear for ages until I started using other stuff. It surprised me and my relatively sensitive, acne prone skin.
