Packed with the powerful antioxidants of vitamin E, this formula provides immediate moisture, while helping to protect against future dry skin. Apply daily to maintain hydrated skin that looks and feels soft, smooth and healthy.

What Melissa likes about this product : 

  1. Mildly scented.
  2. Very moisturizing and it absorbs into my skin very fast.

  1. Huge bottle. I wish they have a smaller bottle, so that I can carry it in my purse.
  2. Need to reapply a few times in a day.
