I received this as a gift from Suzykirei and have used it several times. I thought it would be a heavy cream, but when I mixed it 1:1, it wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be. First, when I combined it with a moisturizing lotion, it didn't feel sticky (just a bit sticky). It remained moisturized even after a while. Next, when I combined it with a refreshing lotion, it didn't feel sticky at all, but I did feel a slight dryness inside after a while. The scent was citrusy. I'm a bit of a lazy person, so I don't think it's necessary for the creams to be separate, since it's hard to use if either one is left over. But it's a cream that's easy to use and doesn't feel sticky.
