I just put a thick layer on my face and fell asleep. When I washed my face the next day, I felt my skin smooth and tender, and my face was very dry. I have been using it ever since. After using a box, my sensitive muscles are not as sensitive as before and I won't blush easily. I don't need to wear cream every day to keep my face moist. Maybe you think it's exaggerated, but this is my personal experience. I really think it works.
