Thick texture
-06.18.13
Quick Take: thick
Wow, this cream is extremely thick. If you've ever used the product "Vapor Rub" I would say it smells and feels exactly the same. Don't expect this product to be a miracle worker. I had dry patches of skin on my forehead for awhile when the weather was windy one day and hot another and I purchased this in hopes it would work immediately at least for when I applied make up however it didn't and the dry patches were obvious. This stuff was just way too thick and I have combo/normal skin. I keep this in my make up shelf for night time only and use a little and for small areas.

Serious moisturizer
-06.16.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive
If your skin looks and feels a little irritated from too many treatments, sun, or low humidity, this stuff will save it overnight. It's thick, takes minute to absorb, and has a light menthol-ish fragrance (my cat liked that), but holy cow was my skin soft and plumped up the next morning.

Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive, soothing
This is truly a miracle worker. I use it for patches of dry skin, lips, cuticles and in the winter, I use it on my face before snow shoeing etc. The slight camphor smell goes away very quickly and you are left with just a greaseless, soothing cream. great.

this may be the cure I have been looking for
-06.10.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I have severe excema, and as a result a huge collection of creams and lotions. I purchase this Yu-Be' cream on a whim and after two weeks, my excema has improve a great deal! The product absorbs quickly and moisturizes for the entire day. This has worked better than anything else in my arsenal. I apply in the morning and evening. I am hopeful that the good progress will continue.

All-in one tube saver
-05.27.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I read about this brand few years ago. And I received samples @ Sephora. A tiny tube lasted me few months, I use this for my dry lips and elbows. It has a funny smell and white residues, but they disappear after application. I like this better than rosebuds salve. This is more effective and doesn't leave grease.

Works ok but horrible smell!
-05.25.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive, smells bad
I honestly don't notice much of a difference between this and any other normal glycerin hand cream and I find this one smells horrible-It does not quickly fade as promised. I had heard great things about this product but I will be returning this one for sure.

Quick Take: awful
this sticky, oily, smelly heavy creme is reminiscent of foul smelling petroleum jelly. the smell does vanish quickly but I can't figure out a use for it other than on my feet at night.

extra moisture
-05.21.13
Quick Take: creamy
I use Yu-Be in conjunction with any other moisturizer. It provides a little extra moisture for my skin. I usually use twice per day after washing my face. It is inexpensive and effective. Can't live without!

Quick Take: intensive
This cream is wonderful! I use it before bed on my dry hands. I also use it in lieu of ointment (like bacitracin) for cracks and cuts. So glad I got a free sample of this from Sephora or I never would have discovered this miracle moisturizer.

superb moisturizer for dry sensitive skin
-05.16.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
My hubby has dry sensitive skin and I've tried many moisturizers on him, including some more pricy products that claim to be designed for sensitive skin. This is by far the best moisuturer for dry sensitive skin! Hubby says it never irritates and is very moisturizing. The smell is a bit odd but neither of us minds. He's on his third jar now! I'll keep buying this for him.

Review 16 for Moisturizing Skin Cream

Excellent!!!!!
-05.12.13
I picked this up in the checkout line when I was having an allergic reaction to a drug-store brand bb cream that my sister loaned me :( I has some dry, scaly patches of skin that were red and irritated. This cream soothed and healed them quickly. I've been using it as my moisturizer after applying argan oil and have been very happy with the results!!!!! It also wiped out this small patch of eczema on my wrist that had been nagging me for a while. Very good directly on lips too.
Needless to say, my skin is sensitive....this stuff didn't cause any reaction at all. The scent isn't very strong after a few minutes but the camphor is apparent when you first apply it. It really has made my skin soft and supple and seems to create a nice base for applying makeup. Very concentrated, I only need a 3/4" smear of it to coat my entire face and throat.
I'll definitely purchase it again. I like the convenience and sanitary nature of the tube so I don't think I would buy it in the larger jar. Excellent product. No frills, and no junk ingredients. I've had a lot of success with Japanese imports. Glad I tried this one.

My new hand cream
-05.11.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
Get over the smell. It goes completely away in 5 minutes or less. The slick feeling also goes away. BUT, the smooth and soft skin will last for 24 hours. I truly love this stuff. Rec'd a sample in one of my boxes and so glad I used it. This is a must have.

Amazing
-05.08.13
I have been using this product for over a year nothing works like this for my dry cracked hands. I use it in the summer for my sunburn and it made my skin feel so mositurized and best of all I didn't peel!

Great Moisturizer
-05.06.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I'm constantly washing my hands & they get so dry, especially on top. I had originally received a sample of this great cream & loved it so I bought the full-size tube. I really like the way it quickly absorbs into my skin without being greasy. I slather it on at night & my hands feel completely smooth the next morning.
