I am a huge fan of Dr. Hauschka but this is a little more affordable, the first time I tried it was when we lived in Kenya and as soon as I open this jar the smell took me right back… Just as wonderful as smooth as I remembered it. The scent is very light so you can tell it’s not artificial and it definitely keeps my skin moisturize with a very thin layer of moisture for the entire dayThis cream does not smell with rose at all. Neither natural nor artificial. I was able to feel a light aroma right after I opend the box for the first time and that was all. There is nothing wrong with my sense of smell. I’m using essential oils for aromatherapy and has no problems. So I can only guess why customers mentioned “overpowering” rose smell.The cream base is usual and I suspect many brands are using it. Very familiar feel on the skin and light plastic smell. Probably mostly glycerin. It stays on the skin as a film and may cause cause acne in sensitive people. There is nothing “bioactive” or medical about this cream. Just good marketing of a cheap basic product.I bought it for about 15$ a month ago. Now it is 20$.This all is so dishonest that I now buying only the brand that I know for years on the Amazon. I’m no longer buying so called “natural” cosmetics and trying new brands here.The list of the ingredients is full of good and natural stuff, but that’s only means that each ingredient is in very low concentration and for this reason is useless. Like homeopathy. Good brands choose fewer ingredients but in right combination and that is more effective.In other words I do not recommend.Love the very light scent and the fact that it also includes borage oil which is extremely healing to sensitive skin. I can’t use it as a day cream, though, because it makes my eyelids too oily for makeup. But at night, the faint hint of roses helps induce a restful sleep and I awake with supple skin for the morning!This wasn’t nearly as nice as their cleansing milk. The cleansing milk smells nice and I really liked it. So I thought the moisturizer would also be great. It wasn’t and it doesn’t even smell nice. The package came taped on the top, maybe it was returned previously. Anyway I’m not using it.Full of beautiful natural oils and ingredients!A great product, moist, fully fragrant and not greasy.This cream makes your face skin so so so soft! I use the rose scrub which is fantastic so I gave a chance to this cream and the brand did not disappoint me. It is my choice for day cream.I bought this because of the properties of rose otto, and because I love the scent. The cream is fine, however it has almost no scent, and smells a little like Crisco. It is very misleading, because it contains no Rose Otto. Rose damascene is NOT Rose Otto, it is cheap fragrance oil used in the cosmetic industry and does not have the healing properties of Rose Otto. The jar label says it has Rose Otto in it, however the ingredient list on the box does not list Rose Otto as one of the ingredients. I actually ended up returning this cream.I have the shampoo in the same scent which smells lovely but this smells like cooking oil with no rose scent at all. I don't like using it on my face because of the smell so I've been putting it on my legs and arms just to use it up. Once it has blended into my skin, there's no smell - thank goodness - but I won't be buying this again. Maybe I had a bad batch? Who knows, but the smell is really off-putting. Its moisturising properties are good, I'll give it that, but the smell makes it a no for me. It doesn't even smell remotely like a cosmetic product. Another reviewer said it smelled like cold cream but the pot I received doesn't even smell that. There's a faint hint of car engine oil mixed with vegetable cooking oil. Not at all pleasant.I have used the body lotion in the same line for years and love it. The face cream though just smells like Cold Cream. The rose otto is barely present in the scent and the texture is thin. Sorry I cant recommendI bought this product after using the rose face wash. My skin is dry and sensitive and I’ve suffered from perioral dermatitis in the past - so it’s important to find something natural that heals the skin. I switched to this brand after moving back to the UK. I like the affordability and quality of the products.Love Dr Organic products.Really like this Cream, isn't greasy and sinks in nicely leaving your skin nice and soft.Lovely face cream with a gorgeous rose scent. A little goes a long way.
