I love this moisturizer. I'm in my mid forties and don't have lines or wrinkles. I love knowing that the sunscreen in this product will keep my skin young as long as possible. This is definitely not just for the young girls. It goes on smooth and has just the lightest pleasant scent.

I used to use this without any problem or breakouts but after a winter of not using it at all, my face suddenly broke out with all these tiny little bumps on my forehead and it burned like heck. Weird since it worked so well before.

I was using Clarisonic and First Aid Beauty radiant pad before putting it on. It could be the parabens that finally wreak havoc at the end of its shell life or FAB pad or the combination of both. I think it's the combination of both because of the acids (that's supposed to be mild anyway...) in FAB pads.

Will update this later.

This truly is a great moisturizer. I haven't used it as much this winter because I do not need the SPF at work and it is quite pricey. With that said - outside in the summer sun this is my go to product. I feel confident that my skin will not get sunburned and know that it is hydrating for my dry skin. It creates a great base for my make up to sit on and helps it stay all day.

The review is based on the deluxe sample (0.5 oz/15gr) of Beifait Multi-Vital SPF30
I used this cream approximately used Beinfait for 16 days. The creme has got a soft powdery smell of classic French perfumery and dissipates fast. Although the texture appears to be light, the moisturiser felt filmy on my face and clogged pores around the mouth area.

I was really confused at first as to whether it was a moisturizer or a sunscreen, but I use it as a moisturizer. I got a deluxe sample of this from Sephora and didn't have much expectations of it. However, it's a very nice moisturizer in that it doesn't break me out and hydrates my skin very well without causing it to be oily. I ended up buying a full size product. This is a great alternative for putting both a moisturizer and sunscreen everyday, which feels very heavy and causes my face to become oily very quickly. This feels very light on the skin. Love it!

I got a deluze sample from sephora and I absolutely love this product. It goes on light and smooth and doesn't leave any residue or stickyness on the skin. The light fragrance is zoo nice. It reminds me of my mom's creams when I was a child. And you don't smell the SPF like other creams. I really really like it, but it's just too expensive for my budget.

I really love this moisturizer. It has no "corrector" in it so its not going to correct fine lines or unevenness of skin tone. This is great for teens and girls in their 20s, 30s that just want to keep their skin hydrated and protected from the suns harmful rays. You do NOT need a lot of this product. Very little goes a long way. For the girls who are saying they find it greasy, you're putting too much on your face! It's a very hydrating moisturizer so a little goes a long way :)

Luckily, this came in a sample for me. I typically don't like Lancome products for myself, but this cream is very smooth, has a high SPF, and smells pretty nice. Not chemical at all. I think I'm going to buy the full size once my deluxe sample runs out!

I purchased this product to use for my upcoming vacation in Florida. I decided to try it our before the trip. I am so glad I did~scary in one word!!! Within the first hour I noticed my skin felt like sandpaper, my skin started to itch and felt bumpy. Throughout the day at work my skin did not feel right. By the time I got home after diiner with some friends(and they coomented that my skin looked red on my neck and chest area ), well I washed my face and it was worse. Went to sleep and this morning awoke to a NIGHTMARE, it was worse; I thought I had chicken pox!!!! Called the doctors and was told I had an alergic reaction to my new cream! Benadryl and warm compress is all I could do. So day #2, sick day from work, and looking and feeling miserable. Hopefully it will pass within a few days, stated the doctor. Please be careful using this product, first time in 30 years of using Lancome products that I had a problem so severe.

I've been using this for the week since I got it as part of a GWP. I love how soft it makes my dry skin, and my foundation applies easily over it. I extract it from the jar while it's in my drawer, in an effort to prevent loss of antioxidants. Somewhat, anyway.

As long as I can get Bienfait Multi-Vital free I'll be happy to use it, but I'm not spending the $$$ to buy it. Not when I can get Clinique's Broad Spectrum spf 30 for face, which also has lots of antioxidants and is in a tube, at only $21.

This product is very heavy. The cream is pretty thick and hard to absorb into my skin. It is probably better off in winter but for right now I'll go back to Clinique's Superdefense.

This is an OK moisturizer for the winter sometimes. At other times, I feel like it actually makes me break out on my forehead. I also hate the fragrance. Like many people have said, it's too greasy for the summer. However, after reading this

http://www.truthinaging.com/face/lancome-bienfait-multi-vital-spf-30-daily-moisturizing-cream-gets-the-boot

I will probably never use it again. I've also been disappointed in several other lancome products, namely Genifique and Visionaire, because they did nothing for my skin... I think the entire Lancome skincare line is kind of bad and over-hyped. They package the products so that they look glamorous on your shelf and market the products like they're scientific miracles, but, when it comes to actually doing something for your skin, they don't deliver.

This review is for the cream version.

I have to say this stuff is just really really thick. I know its a cream but its really hard to spread over my face evenly and It feels really heavy on my skin. The cream version at least is definitely not a summer spf, I will keep it around for winter time but I wont be buying this again. This also has a strange scent in it thats kind of just..annoying? not sure what I think about it really. Overall its just EH nothing exciting and not worth the price...i prefer neutrogena lotions.

In short: skin-changing

The product makes my face look shiny and acts very fast in worsening breakouts. I'd beakout anyway, I know, but this makes the breakouts worse! I've never gotten such bad breakouts since I've started using this product. I usually have normal-looking skin, never shinny. Now it turned out like I've oily skin.

I tend to have dry/combination skin. It's extremely dry when I use oil-free makeup and/or stay over time at an office with AC or heater. It's combination since I get breakouts on my chin and cheeks sometimes.

This product might work for those with EXTREMELY dry skin and for those who NEVER get breakouts.

I've tried this product again after a break from it. It doesn't take long for this to cause breakouts (like a few hours). Maybe it's the perfume or whatever oil or ingredient Lancome put. But, this product doesn't seem beneficial to the skin at all.

This review is for the cream.
Product is greasy upon application. Even after waiting 20mins and then applying makeup primer, it is too greasy for foundation to stay on properly.
If I didn't have to cover up some red spots with concealer, I would like this product. Nice texture.

I looove this moisturizer. I use this on in the morning after I take a shower and what not. I live in Tx with the blazing hot sun but I'm a lazy bum who doesn't like to put on moisturizer and then sunblock so this is the product for me! It's light enough to put makeup on top easily and comfortably and isn't too oily- it actually gives a nice dewy look so I like to go barefaced with it too. It is fairly pricey but skincare is definately my splurge area. The packaging is cute and durable (I'm clumsy and tend to drop it when I'm rushing in the morning).

Also, I use clinique at night, not this.

I got Bienfait Multi-Vital SPF 30 lotion as a sample GWP, and had a severe allergic reaction, causing burning, redness, peeling, rash and itching. Would not recommend this lotion to anyone with sensitive skin. Toxic chemicals and known carcinogens - this one is going in the trash.

Did some research and found this info:

I love this daytime moisturizer! I have used countless brands from drugstore to high end and this is the best one I've used. It makes my combo sensitive skin soft, smooth, and glowing with beauty! It's light but not too light and it wears perfectly under makeup. This is the only moisturizer I will be using for the daytime from now on. In fact I love the entire Bienfait Multivital line! I hope it's never discontinued!

This review is for the cream.

This product made me look young. It smoothed out fine lines and wrinkles without clogging my pores. I have used other sunscreens, but really they were not treatment products as well, and this one is, and it also has a high spf. This product is beyond a plain sunscreen in that it will help improve the condition of your skin. It smells good, and absorbs reasonably quickly. Love the stuff.

Update. I have been using this stuff for over a month now. I still love it. It has not clogged my pores (and for me, that's saying a lot, as everything seems to.) My face is smoother and better than it has been in a long time. I have purchased a second jar. I have nothing bad to say about this stuff, except that I wish it were free.

This review is for the cream not the lotion. I love this product and it is incredibly lightweight, the smell is very faint and has immediately noticeable results. Upon reading some of these reviews I see there are complaints about women breaking out--this is due to the potency of the cream; if you have extremely sensitive skin I do not recommend this (I have eczema and it is OK). Additionally, this cream is meant for NORMAL to DRY skin... ladies please pay close attention this is not to be used if you have acne-prone skin, sensitive t-zones, combination/oily skin.
