I recall getting a sample of this in the mail when it was launched, using it on my hands and not really thinking much of it one way, or the other. It's body lotion- what could be different about it? "Next!" What a fool I was. I wasted at least two years using other stuff, when my skin could have been loving it up with Quench!!!! This provides a nice clean moisturizing effect that is lasting & somehow strikes that perfect balance between dewy, plush & clean (not tacky feeling). There is a silkiness and a feeling somehow of the skin being strengthened that can't be matched here. Deducting a point for the ridiculous pricing.

I've repurchased this twice- Intense peptide action is what I suspect is key to this remarkable product. Precious few products on the market are as advertised- Olay 14-Day Skin Intervention Kit is one. If your skin is in dire need of quick exfoliation over a number of days, this little baby will do the trick. At certain points, you will actually almost "molt!" Although that is a little gross, it is a necessary step in renewing one's skin after those seasonal lags or times when for whatever combinations of reasons- stress, diet, etc. when your skin just isn't up to snuff. This really gives my skin a terrific jump start almost instantaneously. Refines texture & reveals glowng new visibly healthier skin. Highly recommended & will repurchase. Pleasant to apply & I found myself laughing at the lengths I went to to squeeze out every last mini-drop. There is enough product, but it is so good it leaves one wanting more. I would advise sticking to using this at night as recommended & being prepared to give your skin a thorough washing in the morning with an exfoliating scrub with a good bit of grit. If you use it in the daytime after you apply makeup I think you may have cause to regret that, as it gently removes layers of skin that just kind of peel away. Could be inconvenient in certain settings. Do use at night.

Impressive instant texture change to the skin - feels like a wonderland spa treatment with intense silkening. A shower favorite. A pea-sized "serving" creates a luxurious super foaming action that drenches skin with moisture. Velvety/silky result with a lovely scent. One tube lasts quite a long time, very concentrated forumula. A must have or desperately wish I had product. Just lovely. Have repurchased 3x.

Pleasant smell & wonderfully nourishing. Leaves a wonderful velvety feeling to the skin- a just kissed sensation. Superb for a moment or two of daily pampering, infuses skin with a wonderful softness that lasts. A keeper, but only a value if you purchase a ginormous sized bulk bottle. I wish the forumulation was a bit thicker in consistency. Lasts ten forevers.

My thirsty curls were introduced to Wella's Kolestral formula in high school- nearly two decades of scientific advances later, this product is still the unbeatable gold standard of deep at-home conditioning with heat. You can use it with a cap & hair dryer for 20 mins, or sleep in it overnight with your hair wrapped. There's nothing else like this product- an oldie, but certainly a goodie. Not always easy to find- and be sure you get the original formula w/lanolin. This creates luxurious spiral curls in my hair that lasts for days - nice springy, shiny oh so nourished locks. Absolutely a must have, when you find it, stock up. Add a few drops of olive oil or coconut oil, and you have a deep penetrating conditioner that rivals the most expensive boutique products on the market. Similarly named products are a pale imitation of the original. If I could rate this an 11, I truly would.

Yes to Carrots C Today or C You in the Morning Moisturizing Day Cream, for Dry to Sensitive Skin
No to Overpriced Creams, Yes to Yes to Carrots!
A fine moisture boosting cream that seems to dramatically improve radiance with better than average moisture retention. Absorbs quickly & is well priced. There's something about Yes to Carrots that feels as if it needs to be reapplied often- while hydrating their formulas don't seem long lasting, or over rich. But for instant moisture boost, I like this product. Not a first choice, but no slouch either.

Painfully expensive, close to worth it. Unbelievable silkening, as the name would suggest. Powerful, concentrated- hair just drinks it up & seems instantly nourished- But again, painfully expensive & near impossible to find on sale. A keeper.

As a former Elizabeth Arden foundation fan who then tried to love Laura Mercier's foundation but couldn't- I find the Lancome Photogenic line refreshingly light & just right. Seems to have medium coverage & blend in easily- to me it is unobtrusive, non-cakey & a nice fluid texture with a good consistency that spreads just right & is slightly clingy, but not cakey. Love the SPF & the line smoothing properties. I don't know what more it could do, if that makes sense. Flattering real world colors also.

My #1 body butter, period. Of all time, end stop. Seriously. I long for this when I don't have it in the house! Fast absorbing, skin loving exactly as advertised super supreme body butter. Great texture- a bit pricey, and worth every penny. Plays a great supporting role- sealing in prior shower treatments etc. without injecting extra scent. I consider this one in the "precious" category! :D

Wonderfully sensual, leaves skin feeling actually plush & cushioned with uber moisture to spare. Just creates a lovely, dewy texture that can't be replicated. A total feel good just stepped out of an expensive spa feel. And well-priced. Highly recommended. Just one tiny flaw, the scent is nothing to write home about & could be something more compelling. On the other hand, you can't complain about something that does its core job- ultra silkening- so utterly well.
