Too Much for Me, but Fantastic Product
-12.26.12
Quick Take: intensive
I love the smell and feel of this product. Despite the cost for the amount received, it will last a very long time based upon the amount that is needed when used. Very little is needed, and it is VERY moisturizing. I use this at night since it doesn't actually absorb all the way into my skin quickly. I have noticed it has done a good job with pore minimization, hydration (no dry flakes near the corners of my mouth during winter YAY!), and wrinkle dissipation (no more smile lines or crows feet, start young though)..

A winner!

Quick Take: great if you want hydration plus other benefits
Luv this product. It's expensive but the only true moisturiizing cream that lives up to its advertisement. The other such creams just fall short.

Fantastic

Quick Take: intensive
Finally my dry skin has been quenched! I am ordering my second jar. I have been using this wonderful cream night & day. You must be careful not to use too much or your face will feel greasy. A tiny amount goes a long way. Unlike some creams it does not dry with a film and pill up under my illamasqua foundation. A few small patches of eczema on my face are completely gone. If you have dry skin I highly recommend. The only thing that would make this cream better would be the addition of sunscreen.

Felt like Crisco on my face
-05.06.12
I literally had to get out of bed and wash this off my face. It felt like my skin was smothering in something as heavy as Crisco or cooking lard. I have dry skin that requires an intensive moisturizer. This did not feel like an intensive moisturizer.
I looked high and low for reviews on this "exotic" cream before purchasing since I hate to return product, but this was just ridiculous. I returned it.
Check the ingredients on this product carefully before making your decision to purchase. Compare them to lower end moisturizers. I learnt a lesson by doing so.

Decadence
-04.18.12
Quick Take: intensive
This stuff is heavy duty...goes on quite thick and I can feel it on my skin for a while after I've applied it. That being said, it is rich, luxurious and extremely moisturizing; I use it before bed and wake up with cushiony, baby butt skin. Careful not to over apply, you need a surprisingly minuscule amount to saturate your face-I've over applied a few times which leaves me with an oily film. I would not recommend for oily skin, but those with dry or dehydrated skin should delight in its decadence.

Miracle product
-03.01.12
Quick Take: intensive, lightweight, absorbs quickly
My friend is in love with this line and told me specifically about this cream. Like her, I found it to be so deeply moisturizing that you see its effects right away. Immediately my skin was moist and dewey making it perfect to wear under makeup. After a few weeks my skin looks smoother and younger. I am so impressed with this item and you can't beat the price. And I love the soft, light scent - takes me away to a remote island in the Black Sea :)

Worth every penny - my skin is healed
-02.15.12
Quick Take: intensive, lightweight, absorbs quickly, healing
Tried this cream sight unseen and have never been more pleased! I have dry skin and have tried 'em all - and wish I had found this cream sooner! Small bit goes a long way and leaves me glowing but not greasy. HIGHLY recommend and will without a doubt repurchase this holy grail.
