Good stuff! I use it mainly in winter, because it is a bit rich (but not greasy).
Only a 2 for packaging though, because it is in a pot and that is not so hygienic.
And: now they have this cream with sunprotection also (F20), but I don't prefer that, because in wintertime I like to catch any sunray I can get.

Hey, count me as a fan as well!
It has no major claims but it delivers.
It is a fine moisturizer based on Oligosides extracted from apples; it moisturizes and has a light exfoliating action (like Aha's, but milder) hence the "brigthness": it does a little peeling on your skin, therefore you get better tone and light. Well, they also have added some mica (light-reflecting particle) but I love the effect it leaves your skin with: plumped, happy and radiant.
It's good day moisturizer, lightly scented, not greasy at all, that performs fairly well under my makeup. Beware, it contains vegetable olis and glycerin, so if you are very oily, this may not work well for you.
In addition, this contains NO SPF. (almost no YR day creams do) so you must use a separate SPF under this ok?
I also love the night version of this cream.
Great price (around 15 euros but often on sale)
I love it. You'll love it too!

Yves Rocher is getting better and better, this particular cream is an example. I used it for some time and very happy about results. I wish I tried it sooner and wasn't spending so much money on more expensive and useless stuff. I've been using it as my day and night moisturizer because it just performs. There is definite difference in my 44-years old, sensitive and clog-prone skin, it feels much softer, smoother than I ever expected it to be

The perfume smells exactly like the Estee Lauder Daywear Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme SPF 15 (that was a mouthful, lol!)... to my complete surprise!
This serum has a stronger and more lingering perfume, though. I wonder who's copying who?
It also applies the same... it disappears into the skin and feels non-greasy! Both have a light texture for creams, that apply like serums.
In comparison of performance, I don't know - couldn't tell what benefit they're giving my skin. They are both pretty decent creams, giving some hydration.

This is a really good cream. I am using it even though I have combination skin and it's summer and yes it doesn't improvement the shiny area (but on this weather nothing will) and because it's so good I go with the flow and add highlighting blush and smudgy eyes too because it's summer after all.
This cream has improved my skin color (my complexion is very fair with darker areas around my mouth and some very tiny freckles on my cheeks that get really strong when the sun upsets them and no, I do not find them too cute) as in lightened and evened out the darker areas and I know it has no SPF in it but I have used creams with SPF 15 such as Estee Lauder Daywear Plus that did not protect my skin from getting irritated because of strong sunlight and pollution in the city but with this cream, this summer my skin just isn't irritated at all and no breakouts too (even though it does feel a little heavy on my skin at first).
But this cream really works against oxidation and it plumps up skin even when you're too tired from lack of sleep.
I only gave it 4 stars because of the smell - I couldn't stand it at first but after seeing the good effects on my face I decided to put with it because eventually I would get used to it anyway.
So if your do have discolorations and oxidation on your face you should use this cream because it works. If you have combination skin like I do and hate the shiny effect so much you should still use it during the night, it will not irritate, it will not break out, just to beneficiate from the real anti-oxidating effect this cream has for real.
I never thought I'd find a good cream cream at Yves Rocher because I'm not crazy about their products, especially the makeup ones. But in front of the evidence I must submit and give them their due credit.

Edited 1/10:
While I do still really like this cream, my one disappointment in it is that there is no standardized SPF in it, and thus I can't rely on it for anti aging. I do see a difference in my skin, however, so this is going into the night cream group for me. It is mislabeled (to me) as a day cream; those should ALWAYS have SPF of at least 15 and I'd really have SPF 20-30.
This is a product that is so weird in that it has NO hype really, but it's all RESULT. I never even heard of it but tried it on a whim when the sample set was on sale from YR and I was ordering some more of their vanilla EDT. Boy have I been surprised. I have been using this every day and I can't believe the difference in my skin since the 2 weeks I started using it. My skin seems less stressed, less puffy, more glowy and the moisturizer is not oily and sinks in right away. It makes my skin less oily throughout the day too and my makeup has been staying fresher longer. The product says it has a non-chemical sun protection but since I don't know about the level, all of my makeup has SPF in it, anyway so I'm covered. I can't believe how much I love this! It's normally $27 but if you can get it for a 2 for 1 or 1/2 off or try it, DO! I love it.

This moisturizer is very nice. The texture of it is light, and it sinks in very fast. The lid on the jar i got is a bit tricky to screw back on, but the product itself is so nice that i will def repurchase. Im not sure if im getting the refill or a new jar (to see if the lid on that goes on better), but i love the idea of just buying refills.

I got a free full size jar of this with a $35 purchase online. I love the texture of this cream. It is very hydrating without being greasy and makes my skin feel firmer. I've been using it in the mornings to combat dryness from benzoyl peroxide and even use it for eczema on my hands. I'm sure it will be hard to get out of the jar when I reach the bottom and the smell is a little strange, but I would def. purcase this anyway!

I got a trial pack containing the Serum Vegetal gel cleanser, toner and this moisturiser. My skin has been troublesome lately - oily patches, dry patches, breakouts, you name it.
After 2 days of using the YR products twice daily, I couldn't get over the difference. Dry patches were gone, oiliness was gone, my skin looked a lot brighter too.
Since I used the three products together it's hard to pinpoint which was the most effective, but I have a feeling it was this moisturiser. Lightly (but nicely) scented, and it seems to add moisture without being greasy. I'm definitely going to buy these products in full-size. For me, this product range is comparable with Dior skincare, but much more affordable.

I tried this product on a whim, although I have been purchasing other Yves Rocher products for approximately 10 years now. This cream is great! It does contain fragrance, which I thought might be irritating to my sensitive skin, but it's not. I'm currently on my 3rd jar and absolutely love it. I highly recommend it for older women (I'm 42) who want smooth, well-moisturized skin. It doesn't contain sunscreen, so I make sure I use a foundation or tinted moisturizer that has one (my favourites are Revlon Skinlights in "Bare Light" and Neutrogena Tinted Moisturizer in "Light").

My skin type is normal to dry, and a bit sensitive. I really like this cream. My skin has been so dry lately and this cream moisturizes my skin throughout the day. I might change creams in the summer, but for now I really like this one. Plus I got it for free for ordering a certain amount of products.
