I am personally not a fan of jar packaging since I don't like contaminating the contents every time i scoop up the product with my fingers. I am not happy with this scent. It smells artificial and too 'perfumey'. The texture is thick when initially scooped but as you begin to massage into your skin it easily absorbs and leaves no sticky/oily residue at all as with most other night creams. I personally love this aspect about this night cream. My skin later felt really smooth. I used the serum before applying the night cream.
