Most Helpful Positive Review Amazing (slightly marzipan scented) moisturizer! Phenomenal for dry skin. While my skin usually falls under the "normal" category, it can vary from "normal" to dry or oily. It really depends on the weather/time of year.... And the wrong product can make my usually normal-to-oily skin go to super dry and flaky very quickly. The Sunday Riley ICE moisturizing cream is so amazing when my skin is dry! Are use it as the last step to my P.M. skin routine. I noticed a few people mentioned that the product has a smell that they didn't like... i'm actually really surprised that nobody seem to be able to identify it. The first time I used it I immediately knew the smell. It's almond scented. Marzipan to be specific. Now I know that marzipan is actually kind of a "controversial" treat. You either love it or you hate it. There's not usually an in between. Lol. I love it, and the second one I opened the S.R. ICE moisturizing cream for the first time, 100% knew that was a smell. It's just a very distinct scent (and flavor for that matter). As I said I love marzipan so I think the smell is amazing and delicious, my husband uses it as well and he thinks it smells super yummy. But he also likes marzipan. I can definitely see how if you do not like marzipan you might not enjoy the smell... It is a heavier moisturizer so that's why some people may have felt "greasy" with it. Especially if you don't have dry skin. However, I've never felt greasy when using it, especially compared to many of the other popular "heavier" moisturizers on the market right now. All in all it's a fantastic moisturizer for dry skin. If you have normal or oily skin you might want to look at some thing a little bit lighter. And if you hate marzipan... Well then you might not enjoy the smell too much.
Most Helpful Critical Review Wanted to love but... I am usually never compelled to do product reviews but I feel like for this one, I must. This cream goes on thick but melts into the skin with time...it left my skin feeling extremely hydrated and my makeup wore beautifully over this. I will give it that. I feel as if you are dry and have non sensitive and non reactive skin, this would be great for you. HOWEVER...If you have very sensitive skin or are prone to reacting to new products...BEWARE. I have the most sensitive skin alive and mild rosacea. I tried this very well knowing I may have a reaction to it, but boy was I not prepared to the extent my skin reacted. About 3-4 days after using this, my skin broke out in tiny flesh colored bumps ALL over my face where I applied the cream. Even on my eyelids and eyebrows. And my face felt very tight, with a mild stinging sensation. Upon further research, I am apparently not the first person this has happened to with this cream, with the exact symptoms. Unfortunately my face has not cleared and I am on my way to the derm to see if I can calm this flare up.
All in all, if you have sensitive skin or any kind of skin issue, such as rosacea I would highly recommend avoiding this, as it seems to be repeatedly causing flare ups with these skin types / conditions.

My sister gave me a sample of ice for Christmas and I loved it so much I bought it for myself. I'm very dry and was using Nivea on my face. Two light coats of ICE feels amazing. Layer it with some face oil …perfection.
Smooth and plump skin 5
Erin from Tampa
This cream is amazing at soothing the skin and making it look more plump. By layering this over retinol, my skin is much less irritated. Highly recommend this!
Great Facial Cream 5
LJC from Florida
I've used several facial creams over the years, I'm 62, and this one is awesome. I love the consistency, it smells really good and it leaves my face and neck very soft and smooth.

Contains an Ingredient called Lanolin which causes contact dermatitis. I had to find out the hard way I put this on my face and had a reaction to this product. Still recovering.
Great stuff! 5
Nickette from Madison, AL
This is my second jar and it won't be my last. It actually moisturizes well. It is not greasy and doesn't gum up with other products underneath.
I would buy it again if it came in tube form. 4
Jenny from San Jose
It's almost as thick as diaper rash cream with a better smell! Which is great! Light moisturizers don't do it for me. I never buy moisturizers that come in a jar form, just cause I don't like the feeling of finger dipping and air pollution exposure. 4 stars because it's NOT in tube form. Other than that flaw, this stuff works on dry cracked skin!
BUMPS EVERYWHERE 1
Ash11 from AZ
Please please do not try Sunday Riley ice. I am still recovering. I have tiny bumps covering my face/neck and it's super uncomfortable. I've never experienced anything like it. I don't even get pimples so this is so strange to have any reaction. But please everyone go check out the 1 star reviews on this product almost everyone says they got these same bumps!!! It's disturbing how this is still running on the market causing people skin such discomfort something needs to be done this is not ok. I would love it if the company contacts me about this! More needs to be done then just a return!

So, I really wanted to like this product because they were out of tidal which I like better, but was weird, so I decided to try this one and I think it's making me break out, I have oily skin and I'm pretty sure it's clogging my pores since it's really thick
My favorite! 5
Danielle D from Connecticut
Love the smell of this product and how thick it is. It really feels like you're giving your skin a deep boost of moisture!

Kailua Girl from undisclosed
By far the best moisturizer I've ever tried. My skin loves it! Especially in the wintertime! And it smells delish!
Healthy and glowing since use in my routine 5
Nickki from NY
I love this cream. I was not a huge fan of Tidal per my skin but this one stands out as healing, calming, brightning everything. Not too thick yet not too thin and is not sticky. It doesn't pill it just leaves my skin looking healthy.
Still deciding 2
Mzsalazr from Chino Ca
Still deciding whether I like it or not. It's very rich and I think it's making me break out. I had purchased it to wear it under make up, but this might be the reason why my pores might be getting clogged.
Amazing cream 5

More disappointed in Ulta… 2
Amanda from New York
I exclusively use SR… it's done miracles for my acne, fry, very red rosacea skin. When I bought this and brought it home when I opened it I noticed it was YELLOW. I emailed SR directly and they checked the numbers on the bottom and it had been made TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO… it was good for another 6 months. Honestly, I just couldn't get past that. Since Covid I've really stopped with them because I can't tell you how many times I've received expired product. I did use the cream for about two weeks and I did like it for the winter and purchased it directly through SR.

Do Not Recommend! I never have sensitivities to moisturizes but right after I applied this it turned my face bright red! It looked like I had a really bad sunburn. I even tried it one more time to make sure it was this product and the same thing happened! Waste of money this went straight in the trash
Probably found a new love, ugh! 4

Best moisturizing Cream 5
Novel from undisclosed
I received a sample size of this moisturizing cream in my Relax and Radiate fall crate and it was the absolute best thing in the crate. I loved the feel and texture and when I finished the sample size I went online and ordered a full- sized jar. I plan on ordering other items from Sunday Riley as if they are anything like the moisturizing cream I know I won't be disappointed.

My favorite winter SR product. This cream is rich, luscious and beautiful. It provides a deep sinking moisturizing experience that finishes neat and clean under makeup.
So great! 5
KMS from Grand Rapids, MI
I use this at night/before bed as well as Sunday Riley's CEO Glow oil and the Pink Drink Essence. I'm a night shift nurse so my skin needs all the extra help it can get from an irregular sleep schedule, wearing a mask for 12+ hours, and the lack of water that I drink. Ice helps calm down the redness and irritation caused by wearing a surgical mask, rehydrate my skin which is especially important heading into these colder winter months. It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or oily either which is a plus. I'd definitely say give it a try if you have normal to dry skin and need some extra hydration! 10/10 great product!
