I have super dry skin and eczema and a decent layer of this moisturiser has been enough for me on warmer nights, however if it was colder I don't think this would be enough. I can't say much for the brightening properties some people claim this has since my skin still looks the same, although softer, and the cream has a slightly tacky finish which makes it kinda inconvenient to use as a day cream (unless u like reflecting 50 shades of sun).
