I received a 7 day sample of this product and the lotion (which gets applied beforehand) from Sephora. Although I found the lotion to be quite fantastic, I am a little less fond of the cream. The cream is light and spreads nicely, but I found that the main benefits to skin came from the lotion and not this cream. This cream didn't make my skin look and feel quite as fresh as the lotion that is applied beforehand. However, this cream is very delicate and did not irritate my sensitive skin. It also left it feeling quite hydrated even though I only needed to apply a small amount. I did not notice any dryness or flaking even by the end of the day when it was time to wash my face and reapply. I personally also like the scent of the cream.
