I'm curious to read more comments on this product. I received as a sample, along with the HydraQuench Cream. It goes on beautifully, leaving your skin feeling instantly hydrated. The cream goes on well too, and has a very delicate scent. Live in Northern Ontario, so the climate is harsh, and according to description of this product, is excellent for these kinds of conditions. I'm not working for a couple of days, therefore I can skip the makeup and really give this a trial. The samples I received are definately good for a about 5 days. Can't wait to read more reviews!

Gift with Purchase -- really good size, but I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Absorbs well, moisturizes well, leaves your hands lovely and soft .... but the smell ... yuck, I don't like it, and that's all I could smell for hours afterwards. I see I'm not the only one who didn't like the smell.

I've had this product for a while, but haven't been using it religiously. After reading the previous reviews, I will definately start. I am hopeful that it will reduce some of the sun damage on my decollete. I did not realize I'd paid so much for it though!

I said I would buy this product again, but actually I don't know. Husband gave me a lovely golden gift box which contained a large tub of this. It certainly goes on well, and feels luxurious - but what exactly is it supposed to do?? And when to apply -- before or after moisturizer? Also, am not sure if it's this, or the EA face cream that accompanied it that makes my eyes water.

Concealers -Guerlain - Issima Precious Light Smoothing Illuminator Beige Clair

Bought this today and am already a fan. SA put it on me in store, over my end-of-day make up face, and it looked great. Came home and tried it myself. I agree, it's best to dab it on and work into skin that way, rather than applying and smoothing. Way too expensive for a concealer -- I paid $55.00 Cdn. in Shoppers Drug Mart -- but, hey, I bought it anyway!

Treatments (Eye) -Olay - Regenerist Eye Derma-Pod
rated 3 of 5

Thanks Tamathy -- great idea -- I ripped off the sponge and got way more product out of it -- too much for one use actually. If you don't take the sponge off, the pods scratch your skin. I wondered what I was doing wrong. I haven't seen any results from this product, but will continue to use until it's finished (too cheap to chuck it away). Great marketing, totally wasteful packaging, useless product.

Treatments -Neostrata - Rosacure Anti-redness cream

So far, this stuff is great! SA at SDM recommended it. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and have a significant reduction in the redness on my cheeks. Unfortunately the spider veins are still there, but what a difference. I was using B. Kamins Booster Blue Rosacea Treament to no avail -- 6 months and no noticeable difference -- total waste of money. Hopefully with continued use my cheeks and I will be very happy!

Bought this product at The Shopping Channel. Used it religiously for at least 6 months, but barely noticed a difference at all. 2 weeks ago I bought Rosacure+ by Canderm Pharma Inc. at SDM and already I can see a HUGE difference in the reddness of my cheeks!! Save your money and buy Rosacure+ instead.
