Reviews Summary

Customers say this moisturizer effectively addresses dry, rough skin concerns. Many reviews mention significant improvement in skin texture and hydration levels. While some find it works wonders for persistent dryness, others note it may cause initial stinging. The lightweight formula absorbs well, though some users wish it came in a larger size. Reviews indicate it works particularly well on elbows, feet, and rough patches. Some mention a slight scent, and a few experienced sensitivity. Most users appreciate its non-greasy texture and report smoother, plumper skin with regular use.

It works well but it smells like Play Dough and it is hard to squeeze out of bottle and doesn’t have enough product.
