This cream is actually not as quickly as the normal face cream, which is available in different variants. I think it is because this cream for hands and body is geeigent and not suitable solely for the face. I have it on the table and take them in between for the hands, since I work in the hospital and I often disinfect their hands, they are ever dry. In between, I suppose you also for the face when the half day to and sometimes even for the feet, so I do not need different creams, but have one for everything that I find very pleasant. It is well tolerated and has the fresh Nivea scent that I like very much. But is not suitable for very dry skin, because you have to Reapply often.
