The hydrating line, "Hydra Essentiel," has been renewed and upgraded.

This cream has a fresh, light texture that instantly melts into the skin, leaving it feeling comfortable. Daily use instantly replenishes moisture in skin that has become dehydrated due to various environmental and lifestyle stimuli (UV rays, air pollution, air conditioning, cold, heat, etc.), leaving skin feeling plump and hydrated. *1 Treatment time *2 Cinnamon leaf extract (moisturizing ingredient) *3 Sodium hyaluronate (moisturizing ingredient)

I received this and it was great! It's moisturizing and if you apply it at night, your skin will be plump in the morning. I want to keep using it, but the price...
This is a cream I used heavily from spring to autumn. It's smooth and smooth, yet moisturizing. It's not sticky and feels great. My daughter loves it too. It might be a little too light for winter. I think it's probably more suited to younger skin. But I'll buy it again next spring. I wish it was a pump type, because I don't like having to put my hands in the container when applying it.
It has a nice scent and is very moisturizing, but it feels a little heavy on the skin, so I use it at night.
The packaging is so cute, I get excited just having it there. I bought it because the hot and humid summer makes my skin more oily, but air conditioning can also dry it out. The texture is very light and absorbs quickly into my face. The gentle scent is soothing. The next morning, my skin felt moisturized and not sticky at all. I would recommend this to anyone with dry skin.
I'm surprised there aren't many reviews... I used a sample. I have sensitive skin, but I was able to use it without any problems. As the product name suggests, it has a light texture, so it seems like it would be good for summer. If Obagi Cream feels heavy in the summer, I think it might be worth purchasing. It feels fresh and didn't dry out my skin. Even though it was still hot in early September, my makeup didn't come off that badly!
