I use this cream in the morning, as I find it's not quite rich enough for winter nights. It sinks in quickly and leaves behind a slightly tacky finish, though the tackiness is hardly noticeable (I follow up with sunscreen anyway, so personally it doesn't bother me). This cream doesn't cause any breakouts and I like how my skin feels "cleaner" and calmer afterwards. Also, the packaging is great- I love the convenience of squeezing the product out of the tube instead of having to use a jar + spatula.
