Thoughts: When it comes to moisturizers, I'm always in a lookout. So when I received this product, I was excited.

Here's a closer look at the packaging. It's sturdy, heavy, and extremely well-made.

I took this from their website. This is a better view than what I have.

Here's how it looks inside.

Here's how the product looks on my hand.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, it has a strong scent. It actually took me weeks to figure out the smell. It reminds me of butterscotch. I know that's a strange scent, but that's what came to mind. Secondly, the consistency of the product is pretty thin. This is great for all skin types even dry skin individuals. I thought I might have an issue with this product. My skin tend to only love thick consistency products that layers onto my skin. I didn't have any issue with this moisturizer and it's extremely hydrating. It's also doesn't feel greasy and it melts into your skin. Lastly, this lasted all day without re-hydrating my skin. That's a huge plus if I could go all day long without any worries.

Pros:
* Well-made, sturdy packaging.
* Smells like butterscotch.
* Thin consistency.
* Good for all skin types.
* Melts into your skin.
* Light weight.
* Not greasy.
* Hydrating.
* Cruelty-free.

Cons:
* Hard to find in stores.
* Can get expensive.

Would repurchase: Yes, but it can be pricey.
