    I used to use this product, I loved it b/c it instantaneously smoothes out your skin. Keeping that in mind, that is also the reason why I stopped using it. A small amount goes a long way, but it...

    I really don't know what to think: this is theoretically a face treatment; well, for so long i thought it was a primer, and in fact now that i'm using it, doesn't go beyond that really IMO. As a...

    I haven't read all the posts but I'll admit I didn't see much with this product. However, I adore how my skin feels after using it! That alone made me give it high marks.
