LIKE MAGIC

Quick Take: exfoliating, intensive, may be irritating, noticeable results, whitening
Over the years, I have probably tried more than 100 different kinds of brightening serums, including every kind of ingredients that is available (vitamin A, C, E, retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, tranexamic acid, job's tears, witch hazel, hydroquinone, mulberry, niacinimide, etc.). Just when I thought my skin couldn’t get any better and should’ve gotten used to another vitamin C/ salicylic acid treatment, Diorsnow manages to noticeably whiten my few stubborn acne spots and even making my face lighter, all within the first week!!
I would have expected the night treatment to be thicker and more moisturizing, and the day treatment to be lighter and more breathable. Thus it’s interesting to note that the Night essence is more liquid-y (it contains a higher percentage of alcohol) compared to the Day essence, which is much thicker in texture.
Here are the two cons (besides their prices) I see with this entire line – both the Night and Day essences turns dry and sticky after they get absorbed into the skin. It is quite annoying because I really want to love everything about the serums. Even when I layer moisturizers over them, my skin still feels sticky and dry. Although a little less sticky, the UV Shield is similar. I am however completely willing to sacrifice the cosmetic elegance of silky smooth finishes over the drastic results I am experiencing.
The second con is that the serums both not only slightly sting my face, but it also makes my face slightly more sensitive. I randomly got temporary allergic redness and bumps.
After I stopped using Diorsnow, my skin’s sensitivity re-balanced, and in 24 hours revealed an intensively better skin. In conclusion, the serums work like magic, very strong (and possibly irritating) but nevertheless effective magic. I will definitely repurchase this line, but only once every once in awhile.
I was going to give it 4 stars due to the multiple cons, but then again, it made my skin so much better than it already was, and that was the one pro that out-weighed all of the cons. FIVE STARS.

I have African-American skin with hyperpigmentation (from acne) and while I still have scars right now, I want to say that this has been great for my skin. I've been using the night serum for about a month, and now with this I've already seen accelerated results in less than a week. This line is gentle enough for my acne-prone skin, which is such a relief! Dior claims this will clear you up in 2 weeks but I think that's if you have minor discoloration or use the whole line. For severe cases like mine this is totally worth the price, especially if you consider what you would spend on laser treatments. Just try it. If it doesn't work for you, Sephora has an awesome return policy.

Acne scars are finally diminishing. I use the entire line and it's wonderful for acne prone, oily skin with acne scars. So pleased with this product, totally worth the high price.

Quick Take: hydrating, smells great
I purchased this after the Diorsnow D-NA Reverse Night Concentrate. After a week, I noticed that it brightened my skin and lightened some acne scars. After, I bought this and I noticed that the results came faster. After a week, the light scarring on my temple is nearly invisible, even a tinted moisturizer can cover it. It is pricey, but about $20 less than the night. Although I would prefer using the night concentrate is you were considering both. Night concentrates usually are more intense but this did boost the lightening and brightening of my face. For my oily skin with dry patches, this isn't moisturizing enough for me though.

Acne marks gone!
-03.30.12
Quick Take: gentle formula, smooth and silky, soaks into the skin quickly, helps fade acne scars!!
I noticed that even though I would only get one-two pimples here and there, especially during that time of the month, my skin would still look terrible!!! After the pimple goes away I' am left with an ugly spot that looks like a red pimple, but when I touch it, there is no bump. Over time my skin had been getting worse due to these acne marks! I decided I spend the cash and get this. I LOVE this stuff. My scars are almost all faded! and its only been a week. My skin is smoother and more supple and overall just more clear and less dull. Soaks right into the skin, works as a great primer, I' am in love!

Quick Take: gentle formula, good as a spot treatment, great for asian skin
This product is amazing. I found it when I was delirious and tired at the Hong Kong airport, and, initially, I was annoyed with myself for buying such an expensive product without having done the research. That was almost three years ago, and, since then, I've been buying it every time I fly through the airport. One bottle lasts an entire year, and I use it daily. I'm Filipino and I like my honey-toned skin. I didn't want something that lightened my skin in the obvious way that other made-for-Asian skin products do. Instead, I wanted something that made my skin luminous and smooth, without making me look like I had stripped off a layer of skin. One pump of this stuff smells great and feels good, and you can see the effects in about four to six weeks, as the box promises. This is my first product review, but I'm just so excited that the product is now Stateside and on Sephora.com, I had to sing its praises. I mix it with my moisturizer and apply it with a foundation brush before I put on my make-up. It doubles for me as a primer. When you wash your face at night, it's cool how fresh your skin looks after a long day. There is a night serum, and I bought it that first that summer, but I don't think you need it. I don't use it anymore.
