It has a light texture but deeply moisturizes. It was refreshing, as I'd been using thick lotions for a long time. The refreshing, non-overpowering green scent is also nice. My skin is thin, quite dry, and mature, so maintaining moisture was my top priority. The tagline on the outer packaging reads, "Improves moisture retention, prevents dryness, and leaves skin plump and hydrated," and I cling to these words. Rice Power Extract, an ingredient found in Kose's Moisture Skin Repair brand, has been around for a long time, and I've used it when I was younger, but now at this age, I've discovered its benefits once again. As my dryness worsens, I plan to continue using it for a while.
