The Perfect Summer Day Cream This is an excellent cream for many reasons. First off, there's only the barest hint of fragrance, and it's just a mild vegetal scent, so it's not going to interfere with your perfume (if you wear perfume) nor is it likely to bother anyone but the most scent-sensitive. Then there's the texture, which is light, but still rich and creamy. It smoothes onto my skin perfectly and absorbs quickly, as well, which makes it perfect for busy mornings when you need to get your makeup on and go. My skin feels soft, but still firm and toned, which is exactly what I want, and I like the bright, healthy glow this gives my complexion as well. If there is any drawback to this cream at all, it would be that, if your skin is normal-to-dry, like mine, you'll probably want to either add a more nourishing serum at night or use a richer cream. This is still the perfect day cream, though, and it's ideal for summer.
