i was very excited to try this cream because of the prebiotics and the long lasting hydration claims ! and i have to say it really delivered - its a medium gel type cream ( not heavy but not too light as well ) and its very hydrating ( i ususally avoid gel creams in winter but i didnt notice any tight feeling of dryness during the whole day) , i also really liked the application, it just worked really well with my skin and left it very smooth/soft and plumped ! the finish is dewy at the beginning but it turns neutral very fast !
