Yves Rocher Pure Calendula face cream review

I've tried to find an official description of the product, but it seems other YR sites don't have it for sale anymore, so I'll skip this part for this time.
What I can tell you, is that this face cream claims to be suitable for all skin types, for day AND for night, and it contains marigold extract.
Packaging: the cream comes in a container of 50 ml (1.7 fl.oz.), and it has an orange lid that I find to be pretty annoying because it's not perfectly round and sometimes I can't get the container closed from the first time.

Texture: because it contains marigold, and I know this plant is recommended for dry skin, I find the cream to be a bit greasy and it leaves some shine on my skin. I have combination skin, so I use this mostly at night or in cold days to protect my skin, but I don't think it would be something suitable for oily skin.
What it does: I think this face cream is something suitable for normal skin, with no special problems, because I don't think it does anything special.However, I like the feeling of soft skin I get from it, and somehow it makes it smother, so my make-up looks really nice (I don't always use a primer). I have some acne issues on my forehead and on my chin and although things haven't improved much, at least it hasn't gotten worse, and that's the first indicator for me if my skin likes a certain cream.
As for the smell, it smells a bit of marigold, but not as much as I thought it would, and that's a good think because I'm not really keen on the scent of medicinal plants (which I consider marigold to be).
Price: I can't remember, but I think about 4-5 euro, so it's ok for that price.
Re-buy or pass: I like this face cream, but it's not something I would really want to use again, so it's not gonna be on my shopping list again.
