This moisturizer is a lighter-weight version of Avenes Ystheal Cream, for Dry to Very Dry Skin. In addition to the lighter texture, it lacks the retinal (a derivative of vitamin A) thats present in the Cream version. As for the vitamin E, the amount is so low that its impact on skin will be negligible. That leaves you with an ordinary emollient moisturizer for normal to dry skin that doesnt earn its anti-aging stripes.
