I really like this moisturizer, great value for the price. My very dry winter skin loves it morning and night. There are other more expensive peptide creams out there that won't give you better results.

Can't always follow what's viral...
Olive oil and dimethicone are a bad combination for me. This has such a cult following but my skin reacted immediately after first use. It's been a while since I’ve used it, so I apologize for the ambiguity of this review. I don’t remember the actual way it made me react, whether it was red contact dermatitis or blackheads. I just know it went into my ‘never put on my face’ container.

When products like these don’t work out for me, I typically end up repurposing them. I used this on my décolletage. It didn’t go to waste!
