I love this cream, however now the smell is so bad that it's hard to bear. I don't know what they did, but please change it back to the unscented, so I can continue using it.
Super moisturizing
Best moisturizer I have ever used!
Great Moisturizer for Extremely Dry Sensitive Skin
I absolutely love and need this rich moisture for my very dry skin. I can never be without it as my skin is so dry it flakes and peels without intense moisture on a daily basis! It doesn't cause oiliness or breakouts but if you didn't have extremely dry skin I imagine it could feel to heavy and hydrating.
Moisturizes well, but...

I just tried this for first time, and I'm 62. It does moisturize fairly well, but i am put off by the scent. It smells like bread yeast. I'm not sure if it is classified as 'unscented,' but it should be. I won't be purchasing this again.
Smells off
I have dry skin and although this used to break me out when my skin was oily (in my 20's), I thought I'd give it another try. I used to work for Clinique, and this definitely smells off. Almost like it's past it's shelf life. Also pills up on my face.
