    I got this as a gift with a make up purchase, and yet again I am underwhelmed by EL's skincare products. This one started off quite well in that my pores seemed smaller and skin smoother but like...

    I am currently trying a sample of this. This texture is wonderful, a light watery lotion that spreads easily. So far I haven't seen an improvement (I've only used it twice) but my skin feels...

    This did not seem to do anything for me. It did not reduce my pores. I returned it as its too expensive to keep without any noticeable changes after 3 weeks of use.

    This goes on silky-smooth and you only need a drop of it for your face and another drop for your neck. My skin texture definitely improved within a few days of using this. I have oily...

    I thought this was overpriced and it made my skin ITCH! I had to wash it off immediately.

    Love this product! Makes my skin feel like silk and keeps my pimples away! I use it as a night serum only because I don't like layering anything with my daytime moisturizer.
