I tend to use another one of my day creams but I bought this specifically for its honey ingredient. Whenever my skin is feeling irritated or i break out, I like to use this cream because it doesn't feel heavy on my skin and the honey's antimicrobial powers helps with the healing of my scars or pimples etc. So the next day I always notice than my skin is a little less red and more bright. The serum that comes with it, I just use as an extra layer of hydration if I feel my skin needs that extra layer.
