I just recieved this item in the mail, and it was a straight watery consistency. I kept shaking it but it wasn't mixing to the ideal consistency, so i'm kinda disappointed after hearing good things about this product.

My sensitive skin thanks you
So creamy, perfect for winter. My dermatologist recommended it and I love it. I don’t need a neck cream and a chest cream and an under eye serum and all that stuff. I have extremely sensitive skin and I’m very sensitive to smell smells and this is perfect for me.

Questionable non-comedogenic and sensitive skin pr
Appreciate the thickness… felt luxurious (thankfully didn’t have the watery issue many have reported). However, this has caused an acne like rash, in areas I have never had acne (upper cheeks), and I haven’t had acne in over 15 years! Bought this to be hydrating for aging skin. Does not seem non-comedogenic or for sensitive skin as I didn’t have acne or particular sensitive skin until using this.

Target ships product as is and it arrives after freezing during transportation. The product separates d/t freezing and water pours out each time tube is squeezed. If you purchase directly from the product manufacturer, their web site states product ships with protection to keep warm during transportation. I will order directly from the manufacturer in the future. I do recommend the product but not from Target

Watery
So disappointed, what happened to this cream? It is unusable and extremely watery. Hopefully the old formula returns because my skin loved this cream.

Liquid not a cream - disappointed
I bought this for my daughter. She opened it tonight for Christmas Eve only to have a bluish liquid flow out; not cream. What a disappointment in this product. We shook and shook the tube to no avail. Sounded full of liquid. Has anyone else had this experience?

Barrier Repair and Laser/IPL Recovery
Works well as a barrier repair cream and I’ve used it multiple times to recover from laser and IPL. It’s thick and creates a nice occlusive barrier, definitely not something I would use in public and expect to look good. I feel it’s best used as a restorative solution, overnight is probably best.

Best I have found for my Roscea
Yes, Yes, Yes….this is a wonderful cream for sensitive skin. Most are complaining that the water and cream separate after shipment. BEST SOLUTION, just put the tube in a bowl of warm water for ten minutes, dry off tube and then massage the tube to recombine the the water and cream back together. It’s perfect ❤️

Like others, it poured out a water like liquid after opening. I shook it up for several minutes and it has improved to a better consistency. Going to give it a try, but it’s not worth the price to arrive separated like this.

Confused the product is leaking blue liquid. I don’t even know if it will work. I spent $40 on this and annoyed this is not cheap

Very Disappointed
While my tube is not watery or clear like others reported, the product has made my hands drier than ever - to the point they are now ashy and flaking. I feel that this should never happen, regardless of the price point. I wish I could return this purchase.

Blue liquid
The first smaller tube I purchased was great. So I purchased the larger size, I could tell there was a lot of liquid sloshing around. I opened the tube and a bunch of blue liquid came out. Super disappointed bc I really like the cream. I hope they fix this issue. I can’t recommend it currently.
