This brand is new to me, and I was curious to try out something so expensive.
My miniature was housed in a black box.

The jar is pretty heavy and looks as though made of porcelain.
The cream claims to suit oily, normal and combination skin, skin with enlarged pores and mature skin.The cream is oil-free, which is a big plus because my skin is dehydrated and oily at the same time, and I can’t stand oils in my skincare routine. This cream is really creamy, not gel-like.
The herbal smell is very lightweight.
The cream melts instantly on my skin, becomes watery and soaks in quickly.
That’s why it can be layered. To be honest, this is the first cream in my life that doesn’t build a thick coat right after the application.
It may feel oily only after the third coat. I don’t like this feeling so I reduced the amount of the cream to apply.
In the photo you can see how moisturizing this cream is. It smoothes the dry spots and reduces the tightness. It can’t make dry skin super moisturized, especially in the winter. I also had to add hyaluronic acid to my skincare routine, and face masks.
But undoubtedly, the cream is good: lightweight and airy, but feels richer than face gels. It doesn’t clog my pores. Actually, it seems that this moisturizer reduces the appearance of them. I don’t mean it removes them, though. The cream provides moisture after I’ve washed my face.
The bottom line: it’s a nice moisturizer that does its job, but I think it would be more suitable for warm months, because of its lightness. The only minus is the price, $68 for a full-size jar. One can find cheaper alternatives.
My miniature with 5 ml. and lasted about two weeks.
