It contains 75 ml (2.53 oz) and is fragrance-free.
The cream is thick and a bit heavy.
The cream is very moisturizing and has a slightly grainy texture.
It breaks down immediately and soaks into the skin.
Recommended use is to apply a generous amount onto dry areas on the face and over the body. After using it, it layers well over other skincare and is long-lasting on the skin. It is a good winter moisturizer as it’s pretty heavy on the skin, which is fine with me, but may be an issue with others. It's also hypoallergenic, fragrance-free free and ideal for sensitive skin types. It doesn't leave skin tacky, and it's very good at sealing moisture in.
What I like: This is great for dry, sensitive skin. It's fragrance-free and vegan as well. The texture is quite interesting, and this doesn't pill up on the skin. It's deeply moisturizing and gentle. What I don't like: nothing, honestly.
