Great cream for my forty something combination skin.It has a light,cream consistency,not thick at all but still thoroughly moisturised the dry patches and balanced the oily ones and you only need a little bit so lasts ages.I applied it using the techniques recommended by Su Man and it made my skin look velvety smooth,fresh and dewy and improved skin elasticity and firmness.It also sits well under make up.I recommend it for use in winter months as It might be a tad heavy for summer.Will definitely repurchase.
