I use this cream in the morning and evening, it has helped calm down redness a lot and seems to help heal any open acne that I have. It's pretty moisturising but I think I would need more for my dry skin during the night, especially during the winter. It does lay on my skin for a while before being absorbed properly, but I do not mind, especially at night since it helps protect my skin, I just use less of it during the day so it isn't as bad.
