This is my holy grail cream for the dry winter months. It's the only cream that can save my extremely dry skin from those pesky dry patches that nothing else penetrates. This cream is on the thicker side, forming a protective occlusive layer on your skin. But I don't think it bothered me on my face and the feeling kinda dissappears after a bit, so you can do make-up on it. This is my third refill of this cream already, that's how much I love it.
