Overall, this moisturizer is one of my favorites because it performs the most important job---diminishing oil! Pangea Organics is a brand that upholds their promise in using only the most natural of ingredients. Whenever I apply this moisturizer to my face, the smell is always pure and earthy without a hint of artificial scent. At first, I have to admit the smell was quite pungent, but to me, it didn't take long to get used to. Sometimes, it can provide such a zen feeling; it really is quite relaxing during the first few minutes you have it on!

Besides preventing excess oil from being released, this moisturizer is also effective as an astringent. I have a hint of redness on my face and the color does subside when I apply it. You can also feel your pore constricting in the beginning, and after awhile, the skin feels and looks natural.

I understand the price seems absurd for a 60 ml bottle of cream, but I didn't regret spending my money after using it. Each droplet of cream is packed with so much earthy goodness that you don't need to go further than two pumps to fully cover your face. The skin will feel light, hydrated, and stay practically oil-free for six to eight hours.

In case you are curious about what function each plant carries, I'm going to provide a brief list taken from the brand's website.

Ginger - antioxidant, invigorating, warming
Lavender - anti-wrinkling, soothing, balancing
Thyme - astringent, revitalizing, stimulating

This is an excellent product, but be careful where you purchase it because of it's natural ingredients, it does expire quickly. I just received this product from ScentsSimple in Dec 2011, but the product expired in Feb 2010. If you are getting a discount that might be why.
If you have questions then look at the code on the bottom of the product and email pangea.com and they will tell you the time left to use the bottle.

even though not the intention this product makes skin look younger and has a side benifit ? gets rid of my breakouts within days!

I have been using this line for several years now after a friend recommended it. I have pretty normal skin...can get a tad bit oily in the t zone during the hot summer months and a bit dry during the winter and I rarely break out. This stuff does a great job moisturizing without feeling heavy and also has a fresh clean scent. Definitely recommend.
