"Oh, that feels nice. It seems lightweight, but it feels a little thick. Um, for me, this is probably something I would prefer when it's a little colder out."

"I do love Avène's Hydrance Intense. It is a glycerin based very lightweight moisturizer. It has a little bit of rose oil or rose water in it so if you don't like the scent of rose you will not like it, you probably would prefer the Avène sister product in the US."

"The cream and emulsion are at a higher price for essentially just a moisturizer. I believe you can get incredible hydration of your skin in a simple moisturizer without spending a fortune."
