I waited 30 days before writing this review, till I had a chance to see if this would really work for me. I am an elderly woman (72) with dry skin my whole life; so I did not expect miracles and certainly not before I had a chance to use the product for a while. Well after 30 days, I do see improvement. Keep in mind, I have also tried to keep hydrated and I drink about 1 TB high polyphenol, extra virgin olive oil in the evenings before bed (with a dash of fresh lemon juice and 1/4 t. sea salt -- I take iodine separately). How much progress is from the polyphenols (olive oil) or the cream or the hydration w/ salt minerals; or a better lifestyle and diet in general, I do not know. BUT, I am pleased with what I see so far, and don't plan on changing anything as yet! It's working for me, I feel great and look much better. The price is right for my SS income! Very pleased!!
