Considering the main ingredients of this cream, it contains

• solvents and humectants (Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol,) for hydration, i.e. bring and retain water into your skin
• Emollients and texture enhancers (Cyclohexasiloxane, Dimethicone, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, , Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Cetyl Alcohol, Shea Butter)
• Niacinamide : improve skin’s elasticity, enhance its barrier function, stimulate microcirculation, help erase discolorations, and revive skin’s healthy tone and texture (i.e. it’s brightening).
• Panthenol : anti-irritant/soothing, moisturizer, help skin heal faster
• And then there are a bunch of botanical extracts with antioxidant, such as tumeric root, cocoa extract and Corallina Officinalis Extract (a red seaweed), and antimicrobial properties, such as Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract. Also present is tangerine peel extract (fragrant plant that can be sensitizing), honey (humectant, antioxidant, antibacterial), mango seed butter (moisturizing), royal jelly (humectant, anti-inflammatory), and propolis (antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties). Then you have other texture modifiers and that’s is for the main ingredients of the product.

THOUGHTS

This is a very moisturizing cream that I like using in the evening. What I enjoy is that although it's a rather thick cream (it's advertized as a honey-like texture), it's not too thick to the point it's suffocating. It has a slightly gellified texture which makes it lighter and the feeling on the skin is also improved. It actually feels really nice on and it spreads well on the skin and leaves the skin feeling "moist" and nourished.
 

The scent is also something I enjoy. Yes, unscented products are great because they pose less risk of sensitivity (fragrance can be sensitizing), but I must admit I really enjoy this sweet tangerine scent with a hint of honey and it actually makes me want to use it. So in the end, I'm rather happy with the scent :D
 

In terms of ingredients, I'm happy to find honey in it and lots of botanical extracts!

Overall very happy with this cream because I like the texture, scent and ingredients and it's a great product to use when my skin feels drier (aka very often during this winter...I've also used less sheet masks, that could be a reason my skin is drier by the way!!). I've almost finished the jar, which means I loved it, right? ;) and yes, that's a cream I'm adding to my list of solid products that I could repurchase!

If you have combo to dry skin, that's a cream you could like! :D
