Wonderful product, does an excellent job with Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), and Hyaluronic Acid! Great for speedy skin cell turn over, can even be used under the eyes.
Highly recommended to anyone that wants something to combat the signs of aging, or the blemish battle (scars, hyperpigmentation). Works well under makeup, absorbs quickly.
About 45 (US) dollars for a 2 oz supply, would last a very long time though. Available in Regular and Unscented

This is a lightweight fluid "cream" that can also be used around the eye area. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the Sage products...and while I prefer the 20% Smoothing Cream & Gel, the 12% would be better for those with drier or more tender skins. If you cannot use acids...this is not the product for you. It does tingle a bit after application (due to the high glycolic %) but does subside. Follow directions!

I definitley plan to purchase this product again, although I may try out the 20 percent version next time. This cream feels very good on my skin and tingles ever so slightly in a good way. I think it may have helped me get rid of some old red marks from previous acne, although I am not sure how much it has helped with wrinkles. But then again, I really do not have any major wrinkles yet.

I've been using Sage for over a year now and never tried the Smoothing Cream until a month or so ago when the Smoothing Gel just stopped working for me. I must say, I'm impressed. My skin looks so much healthier and my forehead lines seem to have dimished. I haven't had a breakout (although I did get one pimple, no big deal for me) since I started using this. UPDATE: This product, like most of Sage's skincare, stopped working for me and caused a break out. I am no longer using any Sage products.

Bought this line after hearing all the raves online. Regret it a lot. Waste of money but luckily i bought it during one of its specials. It just doesnt do anything good for my skin.

Okay, I was skeptical of Sage to say the least. Those prices! Those testimonials!
Okay. I register my wrong and say Sage is good. This smoothing cream is extremely light (some may say a bit too runny) but it does something magic. Unlike the smoothing gel it doesn't leave a rubber-cement-y residue, but instead absorbs into the skin to do some kind of exfoliant magic. I guess the secret ingredient is a heavy duty exfoliator that acts like a mild chemical peel. My skin feels very smooth a few moments after application and seems to take on a glossy, healthy sheen instantly. It somehow seems to minimize lines and wrinkles where I notice them most (on my dry forehead) and lightens up the red dots that sometimes appear around irritated follicles, etc.
A good skin conditioner for pretty good skin, much better that the other make-up primer I've used (Nars) as it seems to actually DO something instead of just creating a barrier between make-up and skin.

I prefer the smoothing cream to the smoothing gel. For some reason, the 12% cream is so much more effective than the 20% gel. It even stings a bit (unlike the gel). It's effective and contains quality ingredients, as do most of the Sage products.

After the first night of use, I noticed that my skin did seem smoother. But, as I continued to use this product, my skin was becoming more and more irritated. I finally just gave up after a week and a half because my skin was so red, blotchy, and irritated. Luckily I just got this as a sample.

Love this stuff! My skin is so even and smooth now...and it's only been a week! I did experience quite a bit of dryness, but I attribute it to the 20% gel I was using in conjunction with the 12% cream. I stopped using the gel a few days ago and my skin is looking radiant. I can't wait to try the 20% cream too =)

I reallyyyy love this product. I use this around my eye area over my old lady cream and it really helps with the little fine lines. My eye area looks so smooth! Highly recommend!

This is another great product from Sage. I was first sent the 20%, but it was too strong for my skin. I use the 12% everynight and it keeps my skin smooth and helps keep the zits away. The only downfall to this product is it is a little smelly. I never noticed it until an ex of mine mentioned something about it. If scent is a concern for you or your SO, this may not be for you.
