My Thoughts
The smell of this daytime facial cream is very much like orange herb. I know it doesn't make sense, right? What is orange herb? I have no clue too. I made that up just for this cream. It has an orangey smell with a hint of herb in it. This smells fresh and natural.

The consistency is just right as it doesn't feel sticky to the face at all. Whenever I use facial cream on my face, it absorbs very slowly but this facial cream is different! After a few massage on my face, it absorbs completely! I would definitely say this is the fastest absorbing facial cream I've ever used!

The facial cream claims that it can repair and recover tissue and skin on your face. I think it does a great job in doing that. A couple weeks ago, I have some facial allergy and my skin is very sensitive. I tried this cream on my face and it didn't burn my face a bit! This cream clear out my sensitive allergic skin and I can feel that my skin is even softer than before!

The price isn't bad at all! For $19.95, you get 1 fl. oz of facial cream that helps your face heal and boost collagen in any way!

I will definitely recommend this to others!

 My Thoughts
This has the same smell as the facial cream. I find this soap drying to my skin. After I wash my face with this soap, skin will feel very tight then started to dry if you don't put any moisturizer on. It's not harsh on my face but the tightness kind of disturbs me a bit.

I would use this to clean my body instead of my face as it doesn't feel that way on my body. My body feels super clean afterward.

This soap lathers a lot and it's just a good amount. I just wish it won't feel that tight and moisturize my face more.

Rating: 3/5

  5. I have both of these products as well.

    My best results came from first using the soap directly on my face and then the facial daytime cream ^^
