Wrinkle Cream w/ a Gloq
-02.06.13
I love the Illuminating quality of the product and my skin feels great too! I think it is a little dry for me this time of year since my skin gets so dry in the winter but overall I like it. I need to wear a serum with this for sure to add a little extra moisture

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
By description, this product offers everything I was looking for. I have stuck with it, and have used the whole tube. It feels great on the skin and a little goes a long way. Makeup glides on easily after applying. Unfortunately, that's where the good ends for me. I did not notice a marked difference in my skin's appearance - and I really looked for it! Maybe this product is best for someone younger than I (I'm 54). My search for the right daytime moisturizer continues.

Use it correctly and it's a win win
-11.27.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
Like others at first, I also felt this was an expensive product and didn't do nearly enough moisturizing for my face. Then I started reading about how to use illuminating products, and that changed things. Now, this is sort of a "make up" product for me, and therefore I don't use ia large amount as much but its just as effective. After applying my normal moisturizer, and after my foundation, I brush this on my cheekbones, nose bridge, and forehead, then wait about 2 minutes before applying blush, etc over it. Love it! Gives my skin a very youthful glow, almost like adding instant youthfulness to the skin. I can tell on the days I forget to use it, as my skin looks very dull. Using it this way also gets a lot more mileage out of the product. I love this stuff! It's like youth in a bottle. I won't be without it now.

49 years old....love this product...pricey.
-10.01.12
Quick Take: best find for 49 year barely there makeup look., i will buy again. all in one!
I have been looking for an illuminator that moisturizes with minimum coverage but lots of glow. I'm not a "makeup" girl, but as I'm aging, I want to see more brightness (aka younger looking) and less of the pasty dead look. This product is, IMPO, expensive for an illuminator/base type of product. However, I only use this one item as a moisture/base with nothing other than blush and mascara all day long and, in the eve, occasionally I add lipstick. I'm very happy to say, I find my skin glowing. It comes out of tube in an odd gray/moist way, but in daytime, sunlight....beautiful.....for a 49 year old chic. I wiped my eye with a white napkin in a restaurant last week and it rubbed off as cream/beige/tan which totally surprised me since it started off as a completely different color out of the tube. Try it. If a no go....Sephora offers full returns, I think. I am definitely buying again.

not moisturizing enough
-03.15.12
The "optical diffusers" made me look shiny. And this cream wasn't moisturizing enough. I didn't like this and will be returning it for a heavier formula.

Wonderful!!!

Quick Take: lightweight
It immediately makes your skin look and feel better. I love it but (due to the cost) I don't use it if I am just hanging around the house. I wish they would drop the price but it is a great product!!

Not a great moisturiser
-01.08.12
My beautician recommended this moisturiser. I have been using ptr night pm retinol which is fantastic. This cream, however, does not apply smoothly. It does not moisturise as well as as other creams and even dries out my skin. Maybe works better with a serum under.

Love!

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, silky
Incredibly lightweight and makes my skin feel smooth like silk. I don't know if I will let myself ever run out of this product. I received as a bonus and I'm hooked. I love how my skin seems to glow when I wear this over my lotion - I feel as if I just need a light powder over and that's it! I'm never pleased with my skin but this makes me feel great!

Nice stuff!
-12.04.11
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, no chemical smell
I purchased this after wanting a primer, but the associate insisted on this as a primer. I tried it for a few days and it is some amazing stuff!. Your skin feels and looks so nice! There is no strange smell, It goes on so smooth, but it feels like a moisturizer and not a primer like what the associate told me to use it for. Sadly it doesn't say anywhere that I can use as a primer. It's more of a moisturizer, It also is a wrinkle defender along with much more... The two negatives I have is the small bottle cost $68 and you get such a small amount! I could probably use it up in 1 month or 2 at the most! But if this wasn't so darn expensive for the little bit you get, this would definitely be on my #1 list!

So far, so good!
-10.31.11
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I've been using this for a week now and have been pleased so far. It really does give your skin a nice "glow" without making it look sparkly or mica-y like some of those "self-adjusting" colors do. It provides a nice amount of moisture without looking shiny or making me break out.
My one peeve is that I do wish this came in a pump dispenser.
