Do most of you use this for a night cream as well as for under makeup? SHOULD it be massaged in? There's next to NO directions inside!

This wonderful product is best used for night cream and I would never use it for a moisturizer. After cleansing my face before bedtime, I apply the cream to my face and neck...luxurious!!! Apply smoothly I use a La Prairie moisturizer for under my makeup.

I've been using La Prairie Caviar for 25 years. People tell me I do not look my age, and I do believe it's because of this wonderful product. I use the cream both day and night.

I use it as a moisturizer under makeup during the day and alone at night.:)

personally I use it at night with my skin care regime. I could see using it during the day, especially in summer. It feels cool and smooth. There isnt anything cooling in it, the gel formula goes on cool.

I use it under moisturizer. Sometimes, if I am not going to apply makeup, I use it alone during the day to let my skin breathe a little. I love the texture and feel of it. I do believe it is working for me.

Hello Amaranth, Yes, this cream is universal. You can use it as a night cream after cleaning the face. You can also use it as a day dream, its a foundation in itself, very nourishing for your skin, and you can apply makeup on top of the cream application. I recommend Dr. Hauschka's cosmetic and makeup. They have a huge selection of makeup and all products are made from 100 percent natural and whole ingredients harvested from nature and not altered in any way. I am not paid by Dr. Hauschka, I am only a customer myself and I love Dr. Hauschka and Weleda, both owned by Weleda AG. Those two cosmetic manufacturers from Europe are the best of all cosmetic manufacturers in the world. They get the highest consumer ratings in Germany. I promote them because they are helping our environment.

It's a night cream....but not really a cream. It's hard to describe, it's more like a thick Vaseline (but not greasy) that you use with a little water/damp skin and use very sparingly. I've been using a 2.1 oz. tube every night for well over a year and it's now just about empty.

It is not a cleansing cream and I don't use it as a night cream, but it is one of my favorite products. I live in Colorado where it is very dry and I use it mostly in the winter for my dry, cracked hands. I also use it to soften my cuticles. If you use it as a night cream, sprinkle a little water on your face first, then use a couple of dabs of the cream. It is very rich. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried wearing it under makeup,as it is a Night Cream. But I wouldn't recommend it. It's very thick, so I don't think it would blend with either cream concealer or powder. I really only use it on my neck and forehead now, as it gave me pimples on my chin

I just used this cream at night after washing with the glycolic facial wash and applying toner. Or I might use the glycolic cream if I planned on staying in all day without make up on. I use cetaphil lotion with sunscreen in the morning for an under make-up lotion/sunscreen. It is very a very light cream and soaks in quickly to your skin.

I have been using it as a night cream because it does not have an SPF rating. I tried using it with a sunscreen moisturizer (Olay daily) and it had a weird reaction... it kinda peeled off, I guess the two don't mix. I would use it as a night cream and on days with limited or no sun exposure and then use a SPF rated moisturizer during the day.

I use it for my hair; I melt a 1:1 ratio of this shea butter with extra virgin coconut oil in the microwave, mix it up well, let it cool, pour it into a small tupperware container, and let it set up at room temp. I use maybe a half pea-size bit in the morning to smooth and defrizz my hair. You probably can use it for a lotion just by itself, after you pry a chunk out and warm in it your hands a little...It's not a liquid, though, like if you squeezed lotion out of a bottle; it's solid enough that you'd have to warm it a bit just to be able to use it like a lotion that way. I've also only ever used it mixed with something else, so I don't know how well it would work on its own.

I use it on my face at night only without a separate moisturizer. I don't need another moisturizer with this. It moisturizes mine enough. If I start having aging concerns on my neck and chest, I'll start using it there too.

It is not my favorite night cream. Don't use it all that much. I do like her serum better. I can highly recommend Loreal Revitalift and Olay Regenerist.

This is something I have found with other products as well. Use less. A light application goes a long way! Trying to rub into skin causes the peeling effect. I found cleansing/moisturizing 30 or more minutes before bed allows skin to absorb the creams moisture without the heaviness of over application.

I put it on under my moisturizer in the morning before I apply makeup. Then use it again at night when I'm going to bed. My skin feels smooth the next morning. On weekends, I use it alone when I don't apply any makeup. My skin is not too oily so I sometimes need just a small dot of moisturizer with it. I love it!

Miss Leah, I replied but may have accidentally deleted. I use "night" creams during the day during these cold, dry days. I have not been disappointed.
