This moisturizer really helped my irritated skin. I had dry patches around my nose and where my face mask sits. Every winter my skin would break out and get these dry, itchy patches. This moisturizer definitely calmed my skin down. It is thick and creamy, but glides right onto my skin and gets absorbed quickly. No sticky, oily residue. It feels really food on my skin and the dry patches vanished after three days. I will continue using this a regular daily moisturizer.
