I've been using this cream for a month now. My skin is a combination type, so I wouldn't use this cream in summer because it woud be too heavy for the skin. But it's perfect for the winter times with cold winds and lack of the sun. It says that the skin is protected from external hazards and skin stress. This is definitely true. I live in a very polluted city and my skin became so much better since I've started using this cream. And I love the aroma very much (light scent of herbs).
