This cream is of a gel consistency and goes on so smoothly! Hydrates my skin for several hours and doesn't cause any skin irritations or breakouts. Love this face treatment! I use twice daily after serum. Strivectin has been my go to skin care line for over 25 years. (I'm 58 and hear compliments constantly that I don't look older than 45! I'll take that!!) Highly recommend this entire skin care line!!
