Its nice to use throughout the week when I use other products or exfoliants that may cause irritation since this moisturizer is so lightweight and calming for my skin....BUT IF YOU HAVE REALLY SENSITIVE SKIN, this may burn. This cream usually burns (slight tingle) my skin if I exfoliate with a spin brush tool or use a strong chemical exfoliant beforehand -- and it's not the exfoliators causing the tingling because when I do the same routine but with my Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion (that yellow lotion), my skin feels fine.
