This product is great to use any time of the year to provide extra hydration to the skin, but I especially enjoyed using it in the winter to quench my dry skin. Using a hydrating essence or gel cream like this before using a more nourishing moisturizer really helped my skin during the colder months. The product also has a good price for the quantity. Overall, this product was a great hydrator, came in a hefty size, and had a great price.
