This is one of the best leather care creams I have used, and I have had leather in my cars for over 20 years now as it is my choice of upholstery for an automobile. I really like this gel/cream because it has a nice consistency, goes on easy and quick, has a pleasant aroma, not too strong or anything like that, and it really doesn't linger too much, but when you get in the car you can tell it is a nice clean smell. This cream absorbs into the leather, no need to wipe it off as there is no residue left, which means to me that is was absorbed into the leather. No greasy feel or shiny look.
