A lovely night cream that it is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types because it does not contain harsh chemicals and perfumes.
A nice consistancy that is actually quite soothing on application.
Skin felt soft and plump after use.
A lovely product to use,i would highly recommend

Summary
I purchased the Aloe Soothing range whilst I was suffering from sensitive skin due to a prolonged period of medication. I was attracted by the fact that this cream contains no chemicals, colours or fragrance and had a high content of Aloe Vera which naturally calms and soothes all manner of sensitive and irritated skin conditions. The pot is a pale green, giving the impression that this is the colour of the cream however the product is pure silky white. The screw top lid is highly practical for travel and the packaging is no frills simplicity indicative of the cream inside. The cream has a thick consistency that melts and absorbs easily into the skin. This product leaves no greasy residue or stickiness. The moisturisation is excellent and immediately the Aloe contents calms and soothes the skin and nourishes and hydrates the skin during the night while you sleep. In the morning my skin felt soft, supple and plumped. After prolonged use (a whole pot) my skin did not breakout or flare up at all and this cream in combination with the rest of the range, went a very long way towards healing and rebalancing my skin. I would highly recommend this cream for anyone who is sensitive to harsh ingredients and for those that simply need a soothing touch for sensitive skin

Summary
Really thick texture that absorbs really well into the skin leaving a nice light covering. Don't be put off by the thickness, it melts really well.
The scent is very subtle and delivers really good moisturisation throughout the night.
Skin is left nice and soft, ready for the morning routine.

It can seem a little expensive for 50ml of a product but for me this cream is most definitely worth it!
