I am so glad I bought this on sale. I would have probably been a little upset if I had paid full price for this. This is a good cream for dry winter skin, but I do not think it absorbs well at all.  It sits on top of the skin and made me itch a little from the thickness. I also think this cream is way too expensive for the small aamount you get. I might buy again only if the price is reduced on clearance etc since there are better more affordable creams available.
