Made me break out =(

Ok, so another great sample I thought when I opened it for the first time and was excited to apply it in the morning under my makeup. What really sold it for me was the fact that it said it is an antioxidant cream, contains Vitamin C and E, helps prevent the premature aging by figthing against the environmental effects and, in particular, free radicals (according to the tube). Applying was easy ex...read morecept that I found it to be a bit too heavy for my skin, and I don't like that when it comes to creams, I prefer something more lightweight, it does have a nice, pleasant smell, but of course, if it is made in France, I am not surprised the smell is nice. One thing that I found upsetting was that it made me break out more for some reason, I felt like my skin freaked out, not sure why, I stopped using it and my skin calmed down, for that reason I will not use it again, and I am sure glad I had it as a small sample and did not spend that money on a full sized product.

Good, But not THAT Good

I really liked trying this out. It went on light, smelled amazing and my skin really did look great. I have trouble with some moisturizers that seem to encourage my skin to look oily after not much time, but this was not an issue at all. That said, it is NOT worth the asking price, I would never buy this. There are plenty of comparable products at a fraction of the price.

Love the feel and smell

I really liked this product. Wish the sample were a little bigger considering the retail price but I really like it. It's thick but doesn't feel thick on the skin, absorbs easily and makes my skin feel smooth. I actually enjoy putting this on my skin. Thumbs up!

great product, bad price

This product just came to me from the most recent Total Beauty Collection, and although I was very disappointed with its partner (the cleansing water) I found that this one was surprisingly really fantastic. When I opened the sample bottle I noticed that there was a light fragrance that I really liked. When I applied it the moisturizer dried quickly and didn’t feel heavy on my face. I also notic...read moreed that it didn’t leave any shine after it dried either, which is a huge plus because with some lotions I’ve noticed I need to keep a blotter paper handy to make sure I get my t-zone afterward. It also does what it claims by reducing any fine lines and leaving you with a nice even canvas to apply your makeup in the morning! The only real downside I can see with this product is the price, at $90 a bottle there is no way I can justify buying this for myself when I know there are products that work just as well for a quarter of the price. BUT, if I did want to splurge on my daily moisturizer, this would definitely be the one I would be heading out to buy.
