This cream passed the wrist test (to make sure there was no irritation). The cream goes on lightweight - it's very easy to use too much, so start in small quantities. At first I thought the pump in the tube was cool/interesting, but I kept going to unscrew the lid instead. However, after getting used to it, you can control just using a small amount from the pump pretty effectively.It's hard to judge effectiveness - you really need to use the same product over the long term to see if it's making any difference. In the short term, repeated use didn't seem to make much of a difference compared to normal moisturizers I've used, but it did help moisturize.Although a little goes a long way, the price point makes me wary of repurchasing. However, it could be worth someone else trying.
