   I have only used this for a few days and my first impression is that I like that it has no scent and you can hardly feel it on your face and it’s not greasy.

   I have been using this product for many years as it is the only cream that doesn’t react with my extremely sensitive skin. It is light but still leaves a good coverage on the face and neck. Could recommend.

   I have very sensitive, pale skin and this cream is pretty much the only cream I can use that really evens out my skin tone and keeps my complexion clear. It is expensive but worth every penny. This combined with Philosophy Purity face wash (another great product for people with highly sensitive skin) seems to be almost full proof.

   This Moisture Relief Creme is part of Estée Lauder’s Vérité line for sensitive skin. Estée Lauder claims that Vérité products, with their Trilipid Complex, help replace lipids that are deficient in sensitive skin, making the skin less reactive to its environment. Whatever the truth (or not) of that may be, Vérité products contain no alcohol, fragrance, dyes, or emulsifiers, so they are very gentle on sensitive skin. This Moisture Relief Creme is similar to Estée Lauder’s Hydra Complete in its consistency and hydrating qualities, but Hydra Complete irritates my skin, and this does not. Vérité Moisture Relief Crème is a good all-around heavy moisturizer that will never irritate skin or clash with your perfume. But I’ve found that it can be even more useful than that.

   When my skin turned dry at the age of 35, I made the rounds of the moisturizers, from drug store to designer goops, without any success until I got creative. I learned that moisturizers come in 3 varieties: The barrier moisturizers, the oldest and most ubiquitous type, which create a barrier on your skin to prevent water loss. These don’t help dry skin, but they do a good job of locking moisture in after showering or waxing. Eucerin is as good as any, better than most, so there’s no need to pay more. There are the hydrating moisturizers, which attempt to restore some water to your skin. These are newer, higher-tech, more expensive, and recognizable by their high water content and slightly gelatinous appearance. Nice try, but inadequate for really dry skin. The third type of moisturizer are not really moisturizers. Some of the very high-end “moisturizers” are heavy-duty chemical skin treatments that have been put in a simple moisturizer base for ease of application. Whatever their merits or faults, they are often too harsh for sensitive skin.

   Vérité Moisture Relief Creme is a hydrating moisturizer. Used as directed, it’s ok but hardly miraculous. But it’s the perfect moisturizer to use to do a hydrating facial. A treatment once or twice a week really saves my skin in the winter. This makes even the driest skin hydrated, soft and feeling youthful -at least temporarily: STEP 1: Remove dead skin and oil deposits using a fine-grained facial scrub. STEP 2: Apply Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair. Night Repair is my skin care staple, without which my skin is a wreck. But if you’ve never heard of it, skip it. STEP 3: Mist face with water (preferably distilled) until your skin is dripping wet. STEP 4: Slather a thick layer of Vérité Moisture Relief Creme all over your wet face. Estée Lauder’s Hydra Complete or So Moist Hydrating Facial will also work and are less expensive, for those with less sensitive skin. Let the goop and water soak into your skin for about half an hour. STEP 5: After a half an hour, tissue the remaining solids off of your face. All that water went into your skin, plus the water that was in the moisturizer! Your skin will feel great.
