Two known irritants to skin (alcohol and fragrance) are present in this product in apparently fairly high doses. Alcohol dries the skin and compromises its barrier making it susceptible to external irritants and fragrance can also be sensitizing so the combination is probably worse than either alone. I think even mildly sensitive and or mature skin like my own with a tendency to dryness in the cheeks will not get on with this product even on an occasional let alone a nightly basis. The scent is strong and while certainly unpleasant it lasts for a while which leads me to believe it's at least a potential irritant. It should be said however that I'm not opposed to fragrance and usually don't have any issues with it and that it's present either in terms of naturally occuring or chemical fragrances in almost all of my other skin care products. I believe the alcohol content is the bigger issue. On the plus side all the other ingredients seem to be excellent (emollient and botanical ones etc.) The application and texture is also very good. I picked up 2 jars of these when they were on promotion prior to a packaging change and regret the purchase even with a substantial discount. I think both young and older skin types would do well with this product with a strategic reformulation but currently only very young and hardy complexions will probably enjoy this. I do believe that but for the irritating factors this would be a nice product ideally suited to its intended market and that nuxe can be a good performing line. I try now to avoid all skin and hair products with alcohol in them unless I have sampled the product for a good while.
