Estee Lauder Hydra Complete Multi-level Moisture Creme

I've been using this creme for quite a long time now. My mom was so kind to give me her bottle because she noticed that my skin is very dry after taking Reaccutan for acne a few years ago. I love the smell and the texture of this creme. When applied, you can feel how it hydrates your skin and how your skin is drinking up the moisture. However, it does not provide enough moisture to certain problem areas of my face that is extremely dry like the area around my cheeks. No matter how much of this creme I apply on that part of my face, it just seems to be dry anyway. It works very well on the rest of my face though.

I think that this creme is better for the summer months than in winter, when your skin will need even more moisture than this creme can provide. However, the huge disadvantage of this product is definitely the price. It is really expensive. R515 for 50ml tub which will last you for 3-4 months if used daily. It's very, very expensive for a product that only works for me occassionally when my skin isn't too dry.
