This stuff is great! I've been using it for about a week now, with the cream a few nights a week (I use this serum AM and PM daily). The consistency is just right and it absorbs very quickly, making my moisturizer easy to apply. I saw a nice evening of my complexion only a few days after using this product. IMO, this is THE best serum you can get in the drugstore.

this stuff broke my skin out. i wanted to try it because of all the rave reviews, but now i know better than to mess around with my skin. after the third day of using it i developed small whiteheads all over my normally clear face. it was a disaster. this is up for swap if anyone wants it, i'm the only one that seems to be having trouble.... maybe its because i have sensitive skin. :(

This, like all of the Regenerist products are primarily glycerine based. In fact, glycerine is the second ingredient in most all of the products. Way too much in this product, and just feels too sticky and the fragrance is quite repulsive and never fades. This was recommended as an alternative to La Mer, but doesn't even get close.

Unbelievable. This serum works so well and is so inexpensive. It melts right into your skin and I've notice subtle improvements in skin tone. What really amazed me is that it seems to have made my undereye milia disappear!

I love this product! I gave it a 4 because of the fragrance. Haven't these companies learned that most people don't want heavily fragranced products?

This is the best product I've tried thus far. And, unlike Lauder's Idealist it actually improves your skin. The fine lines around my eyes have improved 100%. This is one product I will not do without!

I've been trying this for the past couple of weeks instead of my usual nighttime retinol-AHA cream, along with the Regenerist cream, and I'm really impressed with the results. I'm 40 and along with the usual problems of fine lines & blotchy skin tone, I have a rare rosacea-like disorder that has left big red patches on my cheeks, and after trying many things (including prescriptions) that either did nothing or little more than keeping new outbreaks in check, I think I've finally found something that is getting rid of the redness. The patches really seem to be shrinking - I thought I'd have to shell out for laser treatments for that (which I can't afford) and my skin tone is improving, too. I may start using this during the day instead of salicylic acid just to see if it continues to work as well.

Initially I thought this was going to be my HG skincare product. It gave me a nice, slightly glowing appearance within just days of twice daily use. Then it broke me out so badly I needed to go to the derm. As far as I'm concerned, the glow is not worth it.

I came across a tester of this in the store, and kept coming back to it, and back to it, every time I was in the store -- I just loved how it made my skin feel! I finally gave in and bought it.

I have combo skin (normal w/oily Tzone), and this makes my skin feel velvety smooth, and while I can't wear it alone (isn't moisturizing enough for me), it's great under my Avon Retroactive. Whether it's a facelift/miracle in a jar remains to be seen, but so far, so good -- no breakouts, no irritation to my somewhat sensitive skin, and it has a lovely scent IMHO, something like a clean sandalwood fragrance. A bit pricey for a drugstore product ($17), but for the way it makes my skin feel, and if it continues to do right by my skin, I'll be repurchasing this one.

I have combination skin and I love this product. It seems to smooth my skin out, leaves it soft and toned feeling. Dry areas are well hydrated. My skin just seems to glow after using this only a few times. Would definitely recommend and will buy again.

Regenerist serum for face makes my skin look like a sheet of glass, smooth, clear & shiny without looking slick or oily. Improves my tone as well.

I tried Regenerist (the serum and the cream last night). I am 28, have a normal/dry skin in good condition (never get zits and only a few fine lines in my forehead), but still always want improvement (= looking for troubles). Here are my thoughts about these products:
1) The serum sinks into the skin and leaves it soft (only big issue here, it smells like dish liquid)
2) The cream (which smell like medication) sinks also immediately into the skin, and leaves your skin smooth ... for 5 minutes! After that my skin became all thight (like if the cream was sucking the moisture out of my skin) and sticky, although Regenerist claims to offer a maximum hydratation!
3) In the morning, my skin was totally dehydrated, I had clogged pores around my noses, 2 (little0 zits on my forehead and ... a new fine line around my mouth!!!! (due to dehydratation I assume).

Conclusion: IMO, it's only if I keep using Regenerist that I will need (soon) "drastic measures as chemical peels, cosmetic surgery or laser", dramatic measures thet Regenerist claims to help you avoid. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PRODUCTS IF YOU HAVE DRY/NORMAL SKIN!

Hope this will help!

This product is great under makeup, gives a nice glow, and a nice texture to your skin. I have only been using it once a day in the morning. Uses special peptides that are supposed to regenerate your outer layer of skin without harsh abrasives, ect. Great product for drug-store line, but also pricey for a drug-store line as well.

I've been using this at night, under the cream, for 2 weeks. i have 20 year old, oily, acne prone skin, and this is amazing!! It refines the texture and gives a glow. I'll be buying this again. It does have a scent, so those who are sensitive to fragrances won't like it. hth!

The first thing that crossed my mind when I saw this product--knockoff of EL Idealist? The texture is somewhat similar--a siliconey gel cream, although much less emollient than Idealist IMO. It did fill in the lines nicely, and left a smooth matte finish. Probably would serve as a decent primer, but this is 19 bucks, which I think is expensive for a drugstore product. The smell is a teeny bit too strong for me.
