This is a nice cream, that is light and absorbs well, and does seem to offer some, at least temporary, hydration. I like that it is cruelty free and that I had no adverse reactions, as I have extremely sensitive skin. That said, after using it faithfully, I did not see any results. When you first apply it, you get excited, because it does seem to make a difference, but after a few minutes, that fades. I'd hoped that with continued use, I'd see a difference, but I didn't. Disappointed. It's a nice light cream that absorbs well, but didn't deliver on the results.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
