Keeping skin hydrated is an on-going goal, and the challenge definitely increases in this part of the country where the norm is a cold dry winter, so I was interested in trying this product. Following the directions I applied a small amount to my fingertips, two pumps, and massaged it into my skin. Then I added a couple of drops of water which created a creamy emulsion which I had no problem rinsing off. My skin was left feeling soft, not oily.
