I bought this product because I started to worry about dark spots and whitening. I've been using it for years! It's a moisturizing type, but it's smooth and very easy to apply. I tend to have dry skin, so I apply it two or three times a day! I often find that toner and emulsion alone aren't enough to moisturize my skin, so I often use cream on top of that. This is the most affordable Orbis product, so I keep buying it because I don't mind using a lot!
