What can I say about this product that hasn't been said already - it's just wonderful. I haven't used the SKII product it is speculated to be mimic of but this product is an absolute holy grail if you have dehydrated, dry, flaky skin. I use it all day whenever my skin is feeling a bit dry and always after any type of washing/cleansing. Skin immediately soaks it up and you definitely feel the hydration -- it's almost hard to explain but feels like your skin just had a drink of water! There's no overwhelming smells or strange after effect - just the most beautiful absorption and plumpness. I will buy this product forever and ever!
