And you need to absorb it well~ But after absorption, it doesn't feel too dry, and it seems to maintain a good balance of moisture and oil, which is great. I was worried because some reviews said it was drying, but luckily it's fine for me. I was concerned about the allergen ingredients, but I didn't experience any breakouts, and it feels gentle, so I'm very satisfied. The scent is not artificial or too strong, and it reminds me of the Aesop cream I used to use, which also took some time to absorb. In many ways, the natural scent and texture feel similar, but this one is cheaper, which I'm happy about! This is my first time using Santa Maria Novella products, and I'm eager to try other products from the brand as well. The simple tube design is also pleasing to me.
ConsThe price? I bought it on sale at Sivilge, but if I had to pay the full price, it would be quite daunting.

First of all, there is almost no scent when applied and the absorption is quite fast, so there was no discomfort. I just applied it in the order of toner-essence-cream, and my trouble has decreased and the moisture has been replenished, which is great!
ConsThe price is on the high side, and it's a shame that I have to apply a lot.

After trying the Santa Novella moisturizer and being satisfied, I also tried the calendula. The scent has a slightly sour note when sniffed up close, but I didn't notice it when applied. Personally, I dislike added perfume scents, so I'm glad this doesn't have that. The texture is more substantial than a moisturizer, and it feels like it's providing an extra layer of protection for the skin when applied. As mentioned in the description, it has skin-soothing, nourishing, and moisturizing effects. After using this, I didn't have any trouble even when I slept without cleansing, except for my back area. For the nourishment and moisture, you'll still need to use a separate cream or moisturizer, especially in the current winter weather. But you can think of it as a lotion. My skin is normal to slightly sensitive, and while some people have mentioned oiliness, I don't feel any greasy or shiny look. It's just right. I've been using it morning and night, and one jar has lasted me around 6 months so far. I can now see the bottom of the jar.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad. The price is a bit disappointing though. In the winter, the calendula alone may not provide enough moisture and nourishment, but it's not too heavy, which is a plus.
TipUse it like a lotion. Toner - (Essence) - Calendula - Eye Cream - (Cream) - Moisturizer - (Face Oil) in that order.

The moisturizing effect was also quite satisfactory.
ConsStrangely, I experienced a somewhat stinging sensation in my eyes. I wonder what ingredient might have caused this? If anyone knows, please let me know.
TipSince my eyes are feeling irritated, I've been applying the product only to my neck and hands, and not to my face.

It seems to have a very good calming effect. And the scent is not artificial, which I like.
ConsThe moisturizing power is a bit lacking, so it's not great for applying all over the face.

ConsIf you don't give it enough time to absorb, it gets cakey... (It may have just been me) In the beginning, I didn't know if it was because of this, so I washed my face and exfoliated several times while applying foundation

Doesn't feel greasy. Idralia has a strong floral or honey-like unpleasant scent and feels oily, but this one has a slightly heavy texture but leaves no residue on the skin surface, and has a mild, slightly bitter herbal scent like Sisley, which I prefer. And it's gentle. Since my skin is very sensitive, I just need a cosmetic that doesn't irritate my face, and this one doesn't cause any discomfort.
ConsI only apply a small amount because it feels stuffy. The amount is a lot, but the expiration date is 6 months after opening. I use different perfumes depending on my skin condition every day, but I've been using this one so much that I haven't been able to use the others, worried that it might spoil. This one is a bit sticky, so I'm worried it might suffocate my skin, so I can't apply the others. And I like the scent, but my friend says it makes her nauseous. I also get a few small bumps on my forehead.
