This was an impulse online purchase at Ulta. The cream is thick and white with a strong yet not unpleasant rose fragrance. It forms a barrier locking in my serums and leaving my face and neck soft in the morning. The price is $48 at both Ulta, Sephora & Korres. Other retailers cost less at $30-38. Would I buy it again? Most definitely. Would I recommend it? Yes!
