    I tried a sample of this and fell in love with how soft and velvety it made my skin feel. I bought the 2.5 oz bottle only to discover that it was making me break out. Grrr... I gave it to my mom...

    Idealist isn't a moisturizer!!! It's a skin refinisher. You are supposed to use it 2 times a day & follow with your moisturizer.It is supposed to get rid of skin flakiness & roughness as well as...

    Horrible if using as a moisturizer. Wonderful if using as a mattifier. I'm still wondering exactly what this product is marketed as... moisturizer or mattifying cream?

    Won't buy again. Liked it at first. Makes my face feel "silicone smooth" for awhile but no lasting results. Should be categorized as a primer instead of a skin treatment, I think. Also think it is...

    Super expensive product. I really like how this product feel on my skin but it does nothing to my skin. I prefer Aesop Hydrating Serum than Idealist.

    Although this product feels good going on and leaves a great skin texture, it created acne in areas I didn't have any and made the existing acne worse. Good thing I tried this as a sample and...

    I liked this. Made my skin pretty soft. But it's not moisturizing enough for my skin.

    What a waste of money! It gave me huge bumps on my chin, nose(yuck), and forehead. Feels silky, but silky with painful huge bumps are not good.
