I decided to vary from my ReVive Senstif and give this a try due to the very impressive ingredient list. This cream contains all of the major antioxidants and nourishing ingredients being touted today along with the cellular benefits. It does moisturize my somewhat dry sensitive skin. The drawbacks are: the day cream contains a rather heavy gold fleck which looks just a tad too shiny for my taste and I do love a dewy look. The second problem is that I seem to be having a reaction to the sunscreen as my eyes sting and I have a low grade bumpy rash. I am half way through the jar and am not sure I will finish it. Unfortunately I purchased from Neiman Marcus where you cannot return!
Update - 12/11/09 I had to discontinue due to major break outs and reaction. I can't even use on my body. :-(

Very expensive. I am basing review on a week's trial using samples from Mecca C. I was at the start of a major skincare overhaul to correct my dry skin. Finally settled on another product but this is my take.
Pros:
- absorbs well
- great under make up
- all day moisture
Cons:
- the price
- it can sit on the skin a bit in summer
- would only repurchase if nothing else worked for me
I honestly think this whole line is over priced. It is a face of the fashion magazine set but I think the performance would have to be 300% better to justify the prices. I am glad I have tried the range, if only to convince myself that there are many lines that can deliver at a more reasonable price point.

Ok, I'm giving this a tentative 3 and I'm saying I will buy again - I'm not sure yet. I've been using this for 3 weeks so it's early days. First off, the packaging. FANTASTIC. Gorgeous green glass...perfect for leaving out on the counter or in sight. Seriously. And how it is presented...I wonder how much of the price is in the packaging...when you see it, you'll understand.
The product: smells fabulous, like the SPF 15. Goes on well. I still can't say how good it is, though. Seems to moisturize well, sinks in, no oilies. Overall, excellent with one exception: I use it and then - BOOM - under the skin bump type of breakout. I stop using, it goes away. I restart, it's back. But now after 3 weeks it is all gone and isn't coming back after regular use so maybe it's just my skin reacting/adjusting.
All in all, I do like this product but still am unsure if it's worth the money. Time will tell - that said, their eye cream is absolute spot on!
4 months later: I will never repurchase. My skin has never been this dry (this goes the same for the eye cream). I'm now desperate for cream that doesn't make my skin flake. Since I've been using it - in the longer term - I have never had so many breakouts and so much dry skin. It smells great and comes in a nice package. Last time I fall for that!
