I have started using this late last year when it was colder, stopped a few months, and then I went back to this a month ago. My skin was feeling dry from all the acids that  have been incorporating in my skin care routine. Normally, I don't use creams because I find them sticky and too moisturizing especially when the weather in the Philippines becomes too humid.

This Red Cream came in a typical twist off tub, with a spatula included for hygienic purposes. The jar was only half full of the product, though it does says it the box that it contains 50g of product. The amount is already generous, as you usually only get 30g of product for moisturizers.

There was a distinct "roses" scent as soon as I opened the jar. The fragrance went away after I applied it. The formula of the cream was more of a thick semi-translucent gel. I only apply this at night as I find it too rich when applied together with sunblock and makeup during the day. A little product really goes a long way. In fact, I would recommend using less than what you normally use for moisturizers because of its rich texture. It spreads easily and leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft. What I don't like is that it doesn't absorb fully into my skin. It feels tacky even if I allow some time for it to soak up into my skin.

Stickiness aside, this Red Cream moisturizes very well. It makes my skin plump and moist skin. It also brightened up my skin tone. Over time, I have noticed that some blemishes have lightened. My skin texture has also improved after a month of use. I think this Red Cream would be perfect for those with drier skin.

Pros:
- Lovely rosey scent
- Highly moisturizing
- Hydrating
- Spreads easily
- Makes skin smooth and plump
- Improves/brightens skin tone
- Improve skin texture

Cons:
- Sticky
- Doesn't absorb fully
