To quickly note, I received this free from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.
The moisturizer contains 50 ml (1.7 oz) and it is recommended to use morning and night. It should be applied evenly and patted into the skin avoiding the eye area to be fully absorbed.
The cream a very refreshing orange scent and due to the vitamin C content, SPF should be used after applying if you're going into the sun. The packaging is a glass jar and it doesn't have a spatula or anything.
The cream has a slightly gel/cream kind of texture but it's extremely rich and applies more like a heavy cream. According to TIA'M, this cream has between a 4.5 to 6.5 pH level that is ideal for healthy skin.
After using, this moisturizer really does blend into the skin very well and the scent is very pleasant, but does not linger. The ingredients are all very nourishing and helpful to moisturize and brighten skin. After using this product over a number of days you can really see a brightening, healthy effect on the skin. The moisture holds very well and it keeps my skin well hydrated for 10+ hours. This cream is very rich and very nourishing and comfortable to use. Not much of this product is needed and it does tingle a bit like the vitamin C serum in this brands line.
What I like: the smell is honestly my favorite thing, it's so pleasant and so sweet. The cream is also very nourishing and moisturizes deeply. It really does help to acheive a healthy glow and radiance. The cream has longevity and can last over 10 hours and it's a very comfortable type of cream. Very little is needed to cover your face and neck comfortably. It's also a very vitamin-rich cream. What I don't like: I wish this came with a pump or included a spatula.
Wish packaging was different
