    I've used a sample of the old Idealist serum, which in my opinion is lighter and easier to absorb than this improved formula. However, the moisturizing ability of the new formula is a lot better...

    I think this product is WAY overpriced. It just doesn't do a whole for being so expensive. It feels kinda nice and smells pretty, but that's about it. I will not be buying this again.
