    This made my skin feel like silk on application but after about six weeks' of daily use, I found no difference in my skin's overall condition. Overrated and even more overpriced!

    I used this a few years ago but didn't think it did a huge amount for my skin. I've also used Clinique's Total Turnaround and as refinishers go, Idealist is far better (hence the 5 lippies). I have...

    Why do people get upset that this is a temporary fix? Do you expect your face to stay clean if you stop washing it, even if you've washed it every day for years? Or not to get sunburned the day you...

    Idealist is a lovely foundation primer, and even better to wear alone if your complexion is pretty clear. I'm 23 and have combination skin. After a week of using Idealist with moisturizer and...

    No effects on my skin whatsoever. This is just a luxurious primer, but doesn't make any real differences on my pores or my uneven skin tone. Will not repurchase. My mom likes it though.

    This thing clogged my pores! It makes my skin feel smooth to the touch because of the silicon content but the feel of it on my skin is really uncomfortable. Thank goodness I got a 2ml sample to try...

    Idealist really made my skin instantly smooth---but it was a sort of artificial smoothness...Not the smoothness of skin but similar to the smoothness of a silicone filler. BUT, this stuff did make...

    Love it Love it Love it...!! Can't say enough only wish it was less expensive. Can be used as a make-up base too. Failing which, applied on its own, your skin will thank you for it.
