The cream has rich thick formula. It is amazing for immediate repair of itchy, cracked, irritated, extra dry skin. I’m impressed how quickly it gives me relief - just in 2 minutes the itchiness is gone! It absorbs quiet good, leaving the protective layer on the skin. It doesn’t feel greasy/sticky. It repairs even the driest patches overnight. The formula is rich in liposome of ceramides and panthenol to moisturize and repair barrier of super dry skin. I use it locally (elbows, knees etc).
