    I bought this because it addressed almost all of skin care concerns. My mom told me I was stupid to buy it, and just get an Rx, and she was right. It's supposed to be a serum, not a moisturizer,...

    It has an excellent smell, something between fruity and flowery, and glides wonderfully on the skin. It doesn´t feel much like it´s moisturising. The pores are less visible, and the wrinkles get...

    I always used this as a moisturizer, but since I've switched to the less cost-prohibitive Dove, I will say that I miss this at times. I loved Idealist and would use it again, I just don't want to...

    I really like this product. It smooths out my skin, especially after hangovers :) Seriously, it does a great job deflaking any dry areas and toning down the oily areas of my combination skin.

    Love this stuff! I think it is pricey for sure, and have tried a few others, Phylosophy's 'The Present' is okay, but, not as good as this. IMO This, will be in my MU bag for quite a while!

    Great to get as a sample in the kits. I don't think I'd pay full-price for it. It's a skin smoother designed to be worn under moisturizer. I'll just stick to my philosophy moisturizer, then there...
