This is my night cream debut! I was hesitant to start with something expensive, so I started with this one. I used the "clear" type in the trial package, then switched to this moist type when winter came. Since I started using it, my skin condition has improved, and I feel like I've had fewer problems (like dry acne). I've seen reviews on other sites that complain about the scent, but personally, I don't find it particularly unpleasant. The scent is only noticeable the moment you put it on. When I'm concerned about roughness or dryness, I layer something like Vaseline on top of this cream. My skin was back to normal in a few days! Rather than applying it thickly, I use it as if I'm following a thorough skincare routine and really "sealing" it in.
