I received a sample of this cream and tried recently. This moisturizer has sunflower oil wich is a substitute for retinoids, though it doesn't specify the concentration. Has a weird scent, maybe bee wax? Or is it the sunflower oil? Well, it faints after a while. The consistency it's a little thick and takes a while to absorb, and when it does, it leaves a little shine on my face. My face looks healthy and moisturized in the morning wich I like. I can sandwich it with my retinol treatment with no issues (well, it's a substitute for the real deal).
