Almost perfect
-05.08.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
This is a lovely serum for smoothing and hydrating my mature skin. It glides on and feels great. Love the packaging but wish it had a few more brightening agents. Still, I wii continue to use because it has made a noticeable difference in my skin.

too hydrating on my skin. i have combination skin with a lot of acne. This product was recommended to me by the salon where I had my facial and when I used it, I started having a lot of blackheads--which I never used to before. Now I'm using Sonya Dakar serum and it's much better on my skin.

amazing; saved my skin this winter
-04.20.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
This saved my skin from getting super dry and flaky this winter; I would put this on under my moisturizer, and my skin would just suck it right up. It was great to give my moisturizer and added "oomph" to make it through the winter. I imagine that for those will oily skin, this could work on its own as a nice moisturizer during the summer. This is pricey, but a little goes a long way, and it's definitely worth it.

Best Serum I've tried
-04.20.13
Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating, moisturizing
No really! I've tried many serums and this one does hydrate and lock in the moisture... It does what it claims. You'll need VERY little. Though it's not, the product goes on like an oil (which worried me a bit when the Sephora rep showed me) but then you follow with the Kate Somerville Nourish Daily Moisturizer and everything firms up and looks fresh - not oily at all! I use it every day and night and my skin has never looked better! Love it!

Perfection in a Bottle
-03.30.13
Quick Take: hydrating
I've been to Kate's Beverly Hills Spa and was inroduced to her products there. Her Quench Serum is amazing and is perfect for morning and night. Everyone always asks how I keep my skin perfect and this product is what does it! It is light, hydrating and leaves you feeling nourished. Perfection in a bottle.

Very Moisturizing
-03.30.13
This is a fascinating product- it is a bit shocking a first, becuase it feels extremely greasy, but IT'S NOT. It's light and silky and nourishing. You must let it absorb for a good couple minutes. It feels fabulous, and used with the other Kate Somerville products, it's dreamy.

Finally found a serum for my dry skin!
-03.27.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I've been testing several serums over the past few months to find one for my dry skin. Adding oil to dry skin is what I've needed all along. Quench is a miracle worker. I use it in the morning before I put on my makeup. Because it does such a wonderful job hydrating my skin, I forgo using moisturizer and go straight to applying my SPF. I give this an A+ for making my morning routine one step shorter. Plus I can use it at night also when my skin needs more of a boost. Because of Quench my primer works more effectively; not to mention my makeup looks so much better on my skin. When I run out of my sample, I'll be running to get my full-sized bottle.
On a side note, Quench does requires a bit more time to work into the skin than a non-oil based serum. If you don't mind that, this is definitely a serum worth trying.

Life Saver!
-03.07.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, smoothing
I love this stuff! It is incredible. During the winter months my skin gets really dry and flakey and it makes it super difficult to wear foundation without it looking terrible. I've have this for a couple months now and it is the only thing I have found that is super hydrating but does not break me out. I have acne but my skin is on the dry side and in the winter it gets very dry and dehydrated. And this has saved my skin this winter. It feels kind of oily when you first put it on your skin but it sinks in and your face feels amazing and really smooth. I use one pump morning and evening and it has lasted me about 5 months. I will be repurchasing and probably trying the oil free version for the summer months.
If you have stubborn dry skin you need to try this! And if you have acne but also dry/dehydrated skin definitely give this product a try. It has been a life saver.

very hydrating
-03.03.13
This is the 2nd bottle I have purchased. It works pretty well. I have extremely dry skin. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because it is a bit oily. It does soak in but it takes a while. You probably could not use this if you were in a hurry to get out the door. I put it on right after I wash my face in the morning. I fix my kids breakfast and pack lunches. Then I do my hair. Finally, I feel it has absorbed and I can put on my makeup. I do not use a full pump except at night. It is good stuff though!

Can't live without this
-02.21.13
I don't know how I ever lived without this product and hate the thought of ever having to live without it again. I suffer from acne and have incredibly oily parts of my face but also suffer from dryness from acne meds. This product is so luxurious and moisturizing - I can totally tell a difference when I'm not using it. I actually find that it's helping to keep my acne at bay. All Kate Somerville products are amazing!

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, smoothing
I've always spent good money on my skincare, and this product has single-handedly made all the difference in my dry 30 something year old skin. I'm seriously smoother. Had to return the oil-free one because it just wasn't enough - but this one glides on and absorbs beautifully. I'm hooked.

Works for my mature skin
-02.12.13
I am enjoying this serum. I have only tried one or two others so I am no expert but this has been so good for my skin this winter. I use it on alternate nights when I am not using Renova and I am always pleasantly surprised when I wake in the morning to skin that is super smooth. I use it under a Eucerin moisturizer from Europe that is very high in hyaluronic acid but not very expensive and that, I believe, is the best thing about this serum. It will improve the performance of any cream it is paired with. Using in the AM will allow your foundation to glide on but only use it once a day.

I can't believe how this turned around my dry skin! It's now dewy with less fine lines and greater evenness. This is a secret weapon!

Does the job. A little goes a long way. May try the oil free one for summer as this one is a tad oily for my skin. Figure it's good for the upcoming winter months.

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, easily absorbed, a little goes a long way
I'm over 50 and my skin needs all the help I can give it. This serum feels so good and doesn't make my t-zone feel oily. Whenever I try something new I find it doesn't match up to Quench
