    I've been using this for about three months and pretty much like it. I use it underneath my concealer and powder and it seems to control oil and keep the makeup from sinking into my pores. It also...

    Clarifies and smoothes the skin and gets rid of redness and blotchiness. I do not have to wear foundation with this, it's that good. The product, unlike too many others, does what it claims, so no...

    All Idealist does is put a layer of silicone on top of your skin to make it feel smoother. If your skin's texture is rough to begin with, I guess Idealist would be an improvement. But I did...

    This product is very deceptive. Yes, initially when you put it on it makes you smoother and nicer textured. However, as far as changing the skin quality, it really does NOTHING. The initial...

    It's an OK product. While it feels good when put on, I didn't notice it does anything to my skin.

    This product did nothing for my skin and cost WAY too much money for such a little amount. I would not suggest buying this.

    I use this when my skin gets too sensitive to use an AHA on it. The fruit acid in this is gentler but still gets the job (exfoliation) done. I'm not sure whether it moisturizes, but I love the way...
