creamy [SEP] this night cream has a good thick consistency it is definitely a cream and not like a balm it has a strong scent to it it smells like a flowery perfume it smells nice but it is strong if you are sensitive to smells this may not be for you i do not have any problems with it though i do prefer citrus scents over flowers but that is just a personal preference it does not leave my skin feeling sticky or greasy it absorbs pretty well
