I actually have a Oily skin, the very strong tendency to impurities, but I have in the winter, etc by the cold and the heating air, the problem extremely dry out my skin. Much I have already tried, but most products for dry or very dry skin, behind ran at my favorite playing a very unpleasant greasy film to more blemishes and clogged pores led me, the skin remained to still mostly dry. Thanks to Dr. Eckstein carotene cream I can enjoy the winter worry! I use the carotene cream as night care (as recommended) because it is too greasy for me as day care (for which I take the Balsam carotene). The cream smells, I think, pleasantly fresh oranges (I love citrus fruit :). My mother did not fit this smell. So is a matter of taste. The cream leaves a slightly greasy but pleasant complexion. Since I applying only at night, I do not mind the greasy film, especially as he flies quite fast. In the morning, my skin is very well-kept and not the least bit dry. Just as it should be. I can only recommend the cream. However, it might be good to leave before sending a specimen because the cream with just under 14 euros for some well might be somewhat more expensive ...
