I used this a few years back when I was first starting skincare and I kept using it for about two months. For what it's worth, this is otherwise a well-made moisturizer. There's no fragrance, enriching ingredients, and lacks stickiness; but, for some reason, it would burn my face worse than anything I've ever put on it! It felt like rubbing alcohol on a cut but all over my face! I'm guessing my face was sensitive at the time since I was being really hard on my skin with treatments to get my stubborn acne to go away, but there's no telling if I was sensitive to something in it. There is some dyes in it and that may be the culprit. In my case, I had better luck with moisturizers that were more emollient and somewhat more oil-based (ceramides, fatty-alcohols, lightweight facial oils, etc.). Try it if you'd like, but keep in mind it might not be for you. Good luck!
One of my fav products to use, however recently I've felt like its been making my face look skiny as well (or maybe because Im aging?)
i love that it gets absorbed rather quickly and is one of my holy grails for moisturizers. Recently bought a year's supply with their buy 1 free 1 sales. Product does not feel tacky after applying and its like its not on at all. I dislike products that you can actually feel on your face?
Also, being cheapskate, I do use this as an eye cream as well and smear it all over my face. Regarding wonders - perhaps it just helps with the feeling of my skin thats not so dry, my fine lines, slightly better. Not too sure if it actually does much in terms of rewinding the clock.
It is however on the more pricey end for facial products to me.
This is my favorite moisturizer and believe me, I tried a lot of them. My skin is really sensitive, prone to eczema and irritation plus I dealt with hormonal acne for over a year (gone now, fortunately). This cream never made my acne worse. It is really hydrating, makes my skin look fresh and plump plus it is great under makeup as primer. It is a bit pricey but not too much - worth all the money. In winter it is not enough when my skin gets too dry but it is amazing for spring-summer.
