New York Biology Retinol Cream Moisturizer is packaged in a 1.7-ounce tub with an airtight, pump top. The cream is white in color, a normal moderately thick creamy, cream. I cannot smell it at all, so if it has any fragrance it is only a soft smell. Good for all skin types. This absorbs very quickly, leaves no oily or sticky residue, makeup applies very nicely over this moisturizer.

I have used this twice a day since I got it with no problems. I am used to a retinol product, so it hasn't been drying for me. If you're not used to a retinol, you might want to start every other day, then to once a day, then to twice a day. It only appears drying when your skin is getting used to retinol. This is very creamy, leaves my face soft, smooth and brighter. The green tea and aloe are soothing, great for fine lines and small starting wrinkles. It will plump them out a bit with continued usage. It is not a facelift in a jar, but it does work as good as or better than some.
