I love Elemis and was looking forward to using this cream. It smells wonderful and has a nice feel to the skin. It does, however, leave my skin feeling dry and tight . I purchased a small amount and am unlikely to purchase again
I expected a rich moisturizer and found this to be a very light one and not hydrating. Definitely not for dry skin such as mine. I would say if you’re normal to combo this would work. Just was not hydrating enough for mature over 40. Once applied and used with my foundation I found my skin to look dry. Smell was fine not offensive in the least.
