Review 1 for Le Soin Noir
Excellent product!
-01.29.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, hydrating, non greasy
I purchased this for my mom who had sensitive skin and had lots of wrinkle problems that werent being resolved by any other products. Yes even dermatologist products werent doing much for her. She is in her late 60's and I have to say she is hooked on this product. I never really seen her so addicted to a skincare product but her skin looked at least 15 years younger after using this product for a month! It was non greasy and easy to blend. I also had some skin problem due to hormone changes during and after my pregnancy. And I used this as well for about a week and saw major changes to my skin. I wouldnt recommended using this long term for younger skin but its a great item to have on head for temporary skin issues. I never believed in a cream that can fix everything in a day. But this did fix my skin problem in a week and my mom's years of skin issues in a month.

Amazing, a miracle in a jar
-06.13.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, silky
I loved this, I have to say I only got to try it as a deluxe sample as this is not in my budget. It made my skin feel like silk. It really does everything it claims and if I could fit it in my budget I would.

Review 4 for Le Soin Noir
very good, not a miracle though
-10.28.11
Quick Take: tightening, preventative, dimishes fine lines
I really liked how my skin felt with this on but only if I didn't put any makeup over it. I'm lucky that I don't have an excessive amount of fine lines but the ones that I do have have improved a little. It preforms better than I thought it would but with the price this won't be a regular purchase. I'll probably have to swap this out every second purchase.

Luscious
-12.10.10
I love the feel of my face after using this. I haven't noticed any difference to lines yet as I've only been using this for a couple of weeks but just the fact that my face feels more supple makes me love this stuff.

good product, but do not expect a miracle

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening
Good product, but very expensive; diminishes lines and wrinkles, makes skin firmer and tighter. It feills like a mix of cream and primer

Review 7 for Le Soin Noir
amazing...
-10.14.10
Quick Take: tightening, preventative, dimishes fine lines
I had a sample of this awesome cream when Sephora advertised it last year. The cream is extremely unique, rich and luxurious. The smell is divine, the feeling of the cream on the face is amazing and gorgeous. I will pay for this cream when the time comes. While I absolutely loved it, the cream is definitely made for 50+ ladies. Unlike the Le Soin eye cream that I use now in my 30s.

Review 9 for Le Soin Noir
Love it - LONG Lasting!!
-01.31.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening
This product melts into my skin and makes it feel so soft. I enjoyed the texture of it and the slight smell. Didn't think it did much until I ran out and decided not to reorder because of the cost. After a few weeks weeks my skin doesn't seem as youthful so I decided to see when I purchased the jar... it lasted me one year!! Granted some days I only used it at night and sometimes I skipped it entirely while trying out other products. But mainly it is what I used. It only takes a small amount, about the size of my rather short pinky fingernail. Heated by the warmth of my palm, it thins and covers my face and neck with a bit leftover on the back of my hands.

Review 10 for Le Soin Noir
Sorry I waited so long to order.
-01.03.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, rich and smooth
I waited 6 months after I read the magazine article to order this product. My mistake was not using up both Lamer products that I had on auto shipment before I started using this marvelous product. I use much less (1/4) of what I used with Lamer, plus my skin has never felt this smooth and rich. It actually ends up costing less because you use so little. I would cut back on other products if necessary to continue using. This is the best product I have purchased.

Review 12 for Le Soin Noir
Givenchy Le Soin Noir
-12.07.09
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative, diminishes age spots
Amazing ! I have never seen results like this from any cream - even treatments from my dermatoligist. Within a week I saw dry patches and age spots begin to diminish - within two weeks all dry patches had disappeared and age spots almost gone. Also, fine lines have all but disappeared. This cream is worth its weight in gold - even though I will have to cut back on other products, this one is for keeps.

Review 13 for Le Soin Noir
Great for DRY Skin
-12.05.09
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, maintains hydration!, anti-aging!
I tend to have combination/oily skin. I don't need a lot of moisture and feel like I break out with heavy moisturizing skin products. When I applied this product, I could feel the moisturizing effect instantly. It seemed to plump my under eye area. It did not do much for me because I don't have dry skin or any fine lines. However, I gave this product to an older co-worker of mine. She is peri-menopausal and is constantly complaining that her skin is so dry. (I give her all my heavy moisturizing samples.) Her skin was instantly RADIANT after using this product. Everyone in the office noticed and she commented on how her family and friends constantly complimented her. (I have to admit I was a bit jealous.) I noticed the fine lines under her eyes disappear with time and her skin had an even and smooth glow. Dare I say it could be equivalent to having some laser treatment!? This is truly a miracle cream for dry skin! I saw the before-and-after with my own eyes. (My co-worker's skin is so dry she even drinks 2 liters of water a day to try to keep it hydrated on top of creams.) I don't think this product is a good match for skin with adequate moisture or oily skin. If your skin is dry, with fine lines, and you feel like it needs a drink of moisture, then this product is definitely for you. If you feel like Oil or Olay is moisturizing enough for your skin, you may not see the benefit of spending the extra money on this product.

Review 14 for Le Soin Noir
-08.14.09
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative, worth every penny
Absolutely fabulous. This feels so nice on the skin, and the tightening isn't uncomforable at all. I can SEE the changes, unlike other renewal/age control products. I don't need much help, but it's definitely great to prevent, and you don't need much to cover your whole face/neck. It's long lasting, and doesn't affect how your makeup goes on, and it doesn't look greasy.

Review 15 for Le Soin Noir
Very pricey-no incredible results yet
-07.19.09
Quick Take: preventative
I must admit, I bought this after reading a magazine article about an author trying pricey products for a month. She descibed it as skin care crack.
I think the ingredients are beneficial, but I don't think I am addicted just yet. I have been using it for 2-3 weeks, I guess I should give it more time. I probably will not repurchase however due to the steep price.

Review 16 for Le Soin Noir
I REALLY WANTED TO LOVE THIS...
-06.19.09
Quick Take: evened out skin tone, smoothed
but for the price tag, I expected some results, and after about a month of use, I didn't see much difference,. It was beautifully packaged, but seemed to dry out fairly quickly even though I followed the instuctions to the letter. In a way, I was kind of glad because I can't really afford to repurchase anyway, but I would have paid for a miracle!

Review 17 for Le Soin Noir
Le Soin Noir
-06.19.09
Quick Take: not noticeable yet - 2 weeks
I purchased this based on an article I read in a magazine. She was a beauty editor and of all the $1,000 worth of product that she bought (the magazine footed the bill), she liked this as well as one other product which was a cleanser. I've only had the product for two weeks and haven't seen any changes, but will give it a full 30 days before I submit an opinion.
For the price, I have great expectations, but time will tell if the search continues.

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines
i never thought i'd spend this much money on a product, but it's amazing. my skin feels so smooth and soft. the black color threw me off, but it disappears on the skin.
i wish i could slather it all over... but at this price, i'll stick to my face and neck.

I can't believe I spent that much!
-06.11.09
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening
I have NEVER spent near that much on a beauty product. Have always prided myself on looking younger then my age. When someone said I looked "old" I got desperate. I read about this stuff in a magazine where the user called it "facecrack". And they were so right! I hate to say it but I will buy it again. My face looks so much smoother and softer after only 2 weeks.
