I've been using this balm for over a year now, ever since a facialist at Bliss Spa used it on me, and it's wonderful! My skin is combination, with very dry cheeks. In the summer I use it as a nighttime moisturizer, but in the winter I often use it during the day just on my cheeks. With consistent use, it keeps my skin very supple and bright -- it seems to do more than regular moisturizers.
It's very heavy, so you'll probably need one of the other Decleor Balms if your skin is oily. (My t-zone is oily, and I use the Essentiel sparingly on those areas.) Warm a small amount between your palms and stroke it onto your skin.
It's a little pricey, but I found a huge 100 ml jar on strawberry.net for only $60. I used to buy 30 ml jars at Sephora for $54. A little will go a long way, so it's actually not too expensive since it lasts so long.
