Used over half the bottle but I think I'm done with this one. It's not drying and does have ceramides in it, so that's good. But it smells nasty and occasionally it would sting my skin when I used it (and I don't have super sensitive skin). I also wish it came in a pump, because every time I opened it more than I wanted would come out because the consistency is a little thin so it's easy to accidentally squeeze just a little too hard. It's not something I enjoyed using however I imagine that it works well for some, but this is one I personally will not repurchase.
