I've been using this for a couple of times now and my very very dry and textured skin is nicely hydrated and feels plump after using this lotion. I use it directly after washing my face, when it's still damp and this make it so that the product doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky. It's perfect for layering and a nice step in your routine, if you're looking for some solid hydration. Looking forward to see some longterm effects of this!
