I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review..
I have purchased this product myself in the past & I don’t notice a difference in formulation if there was one. This is a thick moisturizer but differs from others in that it feels more dry- it will leave your skin matte as opposed to shiny. I would compare the feeling to a cold cream. Because it’s thick without the added oils that most heavy creams have I think it will be an ideal night moisturizer for those with oily skin. Someone with dry skin could wear this in the day time as well, but I don’t think those with oily skin would prefer this in the day time. As someone with oily skin who loves oils & loves going to bed looking like a glazed donut, I just add a few drops of my favorite oil on top and I have the perfect night routine. Honestly you can’t beat the value for the price. I’ve been buying versed from the beginning, & I don’t know how they’ve managed not to sacrifice quality while keeping their prices the same but they’ve done it. I’m very impressed, & with other brands prices on the rise I’m going to end up rebuying this one as it’s very hard to find a good quality heavy cream at an affordable price point.
