Designed for sensitive skin that happens to be very dry, the cream has a thick creamy consistency. (It is among the thickest facial moisturizers that I have come across.) It spreads relatively easily and it is effective in keeping the skin nourished and hydrated.
Some of the moisturizing ingredients in this product are shea butter, cetearyl isononanote, glycerin, safflower seed oil, isododecane, arachidyl alcohol, and glyceryl stearate. (Shea butter is second on the ingredient list (after Avène Thermal Spring Water), which is probably part of the reason for the cream’s dense consistency.)
The product is free from alcohol and parabens, but it contains fragrance, which might irritate certain types of sensitive skin. (Aside from the fragrance, there doesn’t seem to be any obvious skin irritant.)
This is potentially a very good moisturizer for those with dry or very dry skin. On the other hand, it would be far too rich and emollient for those with combination or oily skin.
