Normally, I'm fine with just lotion and serum, but in the winter, my cheeks and chin get dry, so I use this. Even though it's a cream, it's gel-like and refreshing, so it's not heavy and just right. However, I'm not a fan of this lid-type product. What do other people do with it? Do they put the gel in their hands, apply it to their face, and then close the lid? But you want to close it right away, right? I always think that to close it right away, I need the gel on my hands.
