THIS IS THICK. Like, the type of thick that requires you to heat it up a bit first in your hands for it to glide on smoothly. Great for locking in moisture after my routine of essence, serums, and lighter moisturizer. It almost feels like adding a heavy "sleeping mask" on top of the face and you wake up with visibly nourished skin. If you live in a dry climate- if you travel often and are in that yucky airplane air- if you have dry skin- if you have oily skin that you are trying to balance- if you have combo skin and want something to be able to spot treat those dry zones GET THIS. I also dab it on my cuticles and use it as a thick hand creme because I think it does such a good job. It does have an "herbal" smell but nothing artificial or overpowering.
