Review (5/5): GREAT SCENT & effective moisturizer with a novel "gel butter" texture
I *LOVE* the scent. Normally I do not like face creams with scent since fragrance can sometimes irritate my skin. But this one doesn't bother my skin, and it smells SO GOOD. I would wear this smell as a perfume if I could -- it's light and refreshing, almost like a peach and white tea scent.
The cream has an unusual texture -- like a "gel butter". Richer than a gel cream, but it still has that slippery feeling. It leaves skin shiny at first but dries / absorbs fully after a few minutes.
The cream ingredients are also excellent, packed with top antioxidants (like NELUMBO NUCIFERA GERM EXTRACT aka lotus seed extract, CENTELLA ASIATICA LEAF EXTRACT, and MADECASSOSIDE) in addition to the various great sprout extracts that give the cream its name "blessing of sprout". All the plant extracts have proven anti-oxidant or skin-soothing benefits.
The main moisturizing ingredient is SHEA BUTTER - my skin likes shea butter, especially now that I'm older, especially in winter. Very good for dry skin.
