• "It looks like dry skin but the texture is of the cream just dried."
• "I would rub and rub and rub this in but it will not absorb I wasn't using a lot either then later it will start to pill and itch."

Scent

Pros:

Cons:

• "This is first time this product had a slight 'scent'. Something is amiss."
• "There's a mild scent. It's likely from the ingredients in the moisturizer."
• "I don't like that this has DMDM Hydantoin which EWG rates as a 6, so I probably wouldn't get again."
