This moisturizer has a lot going for it: it's 98% natural, it doesn't irritate the skin or cause breakouts, and it's very rich! This has helped restore my facial volume, calm down irritation, and even my skintone. And it smells fabulous! Originally, I was going to return it because it smelled too strong, but it turns out I was using too much. Some advice on using it as a moisturizer: If you're oily-skinned like me, realize that this moisturizer will absorb very well, but your skin will still produce oil that kind of sits on the surface. Be sure to remove the oil your skin produces (I use blotting papers or tissues) so that it doesn't just sit there on your face and make a good environment for pimples. I like to put this moisturizer on while my face is still damp for the most absorption. You only need the smallest amount. I generally rub a pea-sized (or smaller) amount between my palms or keep it in a warm area so that it is easier to spread. If you don't let it melt, it will be grainy and you'll have to work it in your face. I like to work this in my face anyway to give myself a nice face massage. Wait 15-30 minutes prior to putting on makeup so you can remove any residue or extra moisturizer you may have put on if you were being too generous. If you don't have that kind of time in your morning regimen, this would be a fantastic night cream with something lighter during the day. It works VERY well under makeup. I haven't had any problems with it balling up under oil-free foundations (I use MUFE HD, L'oreal True Match, MAC Face & Body, and Clinique Mattifying powder). I don't use face primers (I only use eye makeup primer),so I don't know if that would change the results. Remember, the oil from your skin will still come through (this isn't mattifying), but not in crazy amounts. Make sure to blot WELL after applying your makeup and to set with a mattifying powder in your oily areas and things will stay under control for several hours.
