Highly moisturizing, but not worth price
-01.02.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
I wanted a heavier moisturizer for the winter months. This is indeed highly moisturizing, and my skin feels soft, not dry at all. Also didn't make be break out although it leaves my skin a bit oily after I put it on (but it is a night cream so that part is OK). Only 3 stars because for the price, I'm not sure it's doing anything other than moisturizing. I use other facial serums, and frankly I don't see any difference to my skin before or after I started using this product in terms of anti-aging, texture, etc. Looks the same to me as if I was using a simple moisturizer. It is a large jar so that part is nice, but it also has a very strong perfume-y smell that is a little overwhelming to me. All in all, it's OK but not sure I would spend almost $100 again on it.

The best
-12.16.12
Quick Take: hydrating, a game changer for aging skin.
I am 65 and have always taken great care of my skin. No one can believe that I am 65 and ask how I keep my face so smooth. I have used Lancome forever. When the Genifiique collection came out, tried it and never had smoother skin. I use all the collection. Try it if you have aging skin and see the difference.

best eye cream ever
-06.01.12
Quick Take: smooth, non-comedogenic, helps with dark circles
I always come back to this eye cream! It is moisturizing but never clogs pores or causes little white bumps under the eye. In fact it improves them, and also helps with dark circles. Perfect, perfect.

Not the best night cream from Lancome
-05.11.12
Quick Take: sticky, no results
I used up a sample of this along with the genifique cream serum underneath, as I was told to do by the salesperson, and really didn't like the texture of the Repair Creme. My face would stick to my pillowcase during the night, which meant it really wasn't sinking in, rather sitting on top of my skin, And I didn't see any results either. The Cream Serum is great, but I use Renergie Night Cream now instead. I have combo skin and was promised this would work well with me. I returned the full size Repair Creme I had bought for the gift, since it's so costly. Not for me!

Fabulous!
-03.08.12
Quick Take: moisturizing, non-oily
Granted, I have good skin that looks about 15 years younger than my 52 years since I avoid the sun, and don't smoke or really drink- but, since I put my makeup on under 15x magnification I see EVERYTHING and recently I started seeing tired, sagging skin. Since I've never used a night cream I thought that is what was missing...and I was right! It's been about 3 weeks of every-night usage and the difference is amazing. Trying hard not to sound like a commercial, my skin looks 'plumper'- not that my face looks fatter, just that the skin on my face looks healthier. I've always been a sketptic and the thought of spending almost $100 on a face cream seemed ludicrous but I figured just this once...well, it won't be 'just this once'- I am sold.

This is my daytime moisturizer!
-01.09.12
Quick Take: moisturizing, can be used as spot treatment, non-oily, smells nice
I use this after using Lancome moisturizing toner and Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate. The toner remoisturizes my skin after cleansing and prepares skin to maximally absorb moisturizer. The Youth Activating Concentrate tightens my skin while retaining moisture and allows me to use a minimal amount of the Repair Creme to complete my moisturizing routine. I apply a tiny amount, that is obtained on three fingertips, to most of my face, especially focusing on the driest areas. This Creme really spreads well so only a tiny amount is needed. The smell is wonderful (my husband complemented the fragrance and he hardly ever notices things like that)! It absorbs very well and gives my skin a lit-from-within kind of glow instead of the greasy shiny slippery look that a lot of moisturizers give. I have dry skin and I can wear this under my makeup and it does not cause my makeup to move and slide all over the place like other moisturizers I have tried. I anticipate that the one ounce jar will last quite a while since such a small amount is needed with each use, for real. This is the best moisturizer I have used. I wish it were just a tad more moisturizing and did something about age spots, other than that, it is very satisfactory.

The one I keep going back to
-10.31.11
Quick Take: moisturizing
I go back and forth with this cream. I am a face cream addict and I think I have literally tried them all, but that being said, this is the one I keep coming back to as my favorite night cream of all time. I do try others when I get samples, but this is the night cream I have purchased over and over and can't live without. My skin is clear, soft and smooth, and at 44 years old, that's not happening by nature. This night cream is genius. It's my fountain of youth.

I am really cheap but I splurged on this product after going through as may samples as I could! When I use this night cream I wake up looking like I've had 4 extra hours of sleep. Who doesn't want to look fresh?

Makes Skin Brighter
-04.01.11
Ok, so i am a little young to be using this, i just turned 20 but i am a very hardcore gamer and i'm usually on my laptop 16 hrs a day on average up until 5am-6am (its 5:21am right now as i am typing this). So my skin takes a toll from staying up all night and i'm starting to get very noticeable eye bags and dark circles and my skin look dull and dry and ashy. So i invested in this cream along with the genefique eye cream ( for daytime i am still using my olay complete moisturizer) and i've only been using this for the past 3 days, today's the 3rd night and the results aren't miracles but they are noticeable. i look more awake and my skin look brighter and i have this like healthy radiant natural glow, also my eye bags are as heavy and the dark circles aren't as dark. This product isn't a miracle in a jar and the results aren't astounding but it does make a small difference and i'm hoping to see even more of a difference with continued use. Oh and i have combination/dry skin and it works amazingly with the right amount of moisture.
