I went into Melvita to get my favorite cleanser and was given a sample of this Perfecting Cream. Because I love the whole Melvita story, I’m sorry to report that I don’t care for it.

– The texture is silky smooth and feels great on the skin and makes the skin feel soft and smooth cleansing.

The Company
