I use this as a daytime moisturizer, usually before I put on my makeup. It does have a perfume but it has not irritated my skin at all. I love the smell and texture of this cream and the feel of my skin when I use it. I feel like my makeup goes on more smooth too. If you have oily skin you might not like this cream because it's on the richer side for a daytime cream but if you have dry or normal skin you will love this. I'm definitely looking to repurchase this once I run out.
