i am living in Toronto and the weather conditions are pretty extreme. One day could be very cold -5 degrees and the next day 11 degrees. One thing that frustrates me is that my sensitive skin changes along with the weather conditions. Recently I bought the Light version of this cream. Its good but not hydrating enough. Maybe I'll use that when it gets warmer. I have been using Maria Galland 17B for quite sometime. I find it is ok. Good for spring. Definitely not helping with certain dry patches or red patches.
