I have combo skin my cheeks tend to get dry and T-zone oily I also find myself constantly fighting acne (hormonal issues) so my skin wasn't nice at all nothing nice T__T But after getting the essence and this cream from Benton it changed for the better! My skin has never been this good! It didin't stop all my breakouts I still have some specially on "that period" but they are "tamer" and less in number so yes it really helped me.
I love the fact the cream comes in a flip-top tube instead of in a jar I find it much more hygienical and pratical. The cream is kinda scentless and it has a rich consistency (well it's a STEAM cream afterall) and when I apply it I feel a kinda greasy sensation but fear not after some minutes the cream sinks in and doesn't leave an oily feeling at all.
In the moisturizing departament it delivers a decent and nice job but nothing tooooo moisturizing (in my humble opinion) so if you have a very dry skin you might want to add to your skincare routine some other more moisturizing items (such as a lotion essence emulsion...).
And last but not leat: LOOK at that ingredients list! ♥ It has such great ingredients such as niacinamide hyaluronic acid arbutin adenosine urea... it's a treat for the skin!
eMy overall opinion is that it's a nice cream with great ingredients for a very accessible price! I'll be definitely repurchasing!
