    My cousin got me this. I love the pump dispenser and the nice smell. I used it for a week and my skin has never felt smoother and the pores on my cheeks really did look smaller. Now I'm kind of...

    very smooth and silicony effect, and it keeps oiliness at bay better than smashbox, IMO. great base for face, wish they added a sunscreen, but without it, it's of no use to me.

    Not really sure if I would buy again, and here's why, it's wonderful on the face, but not quite as effective as an 8% AHA for me. But, for those of you that can't tolerate the AHA's I would...

    This is a must-have product! It works miracles for those of us with a few wrinkles and pores. Only thing that I don't like is the packaging (reason I didn't give it a 5) but then Estee Lauder...

    I think it does the job but it is too pricey to use as a primer. i still recommend NARS as it will stay truer and longer on skin than idealist. Great product though...

    I love the smell of this product and the way it makes my skin feel. But I cannot honestly say that it does anything for my complexion. This is an expensive product, yet I continue to repurchase it.

    I got this as a GWP. It does make my skin feel smooth and matte. I just can't justify paying so much money for this product.

    This product has transformed my skin. I have combination skin, and since I have been using Idealist, the oily and dry patches have evened out. It seems to put your face into a 'soft focus'...
