Unfortunately, I didn’t notice any improvement after using this cream consistently. It felt nice to apply, but it didn’t deliver the results I was expecting. Considering the price, I expected more. I wouldn’t repurchase it.
I have loved this product for a couple years - until the formula change. I tried to like it - but it smells so bad. Idriss responses to this is that the smell dissipates, and it does in 5-10 min but honestly I just don’t want to put bad smelling things on my face. Hopefully they can mildly scent this or do something about the odor. Until then I am moisturizer shopping.
HOLY GRAIL! This completely transformed my skin. I had stubborn dark spots from acne that wouldn't fade for months and this is the ONLY thing that worked. After 3 weeks I saw my spots fading and my whole face just started GLOWING. My skin tone is so much more even, bright, and radiant now.
This used to be the best skincare product ever. It was the first moisturizer ever that was hydrating , contained its own (effective!) actives and didn’t make me break out or react. After the formulation change, the smell is terrible, it’s too heavy and , doesn’t seem nearly as brightening and I’m right back to breaking out. Totally heartbreaking. I gave it until a second container but had to discontinue.
This feels gritty on my skin and pills no matter how much or little I use and no matter what I layer it with. It also makes my skin almost look dull and significantly more textured than it is. Not a fan.
I used to always buy this one and loved it, the new formula feels to heavy for my oily skin :(
I got a smaller version of the original GEL moisturizer in the original starter kits and loved it. I went back to buy the full size unaware of the formula change. Even though it’s still labeled gel in the name, it’s actually a cream-gel. That’s misleading especially for combo and oily skins girlies because creams are typically too heavy and cause more oil throughout the day for us. I’m really upset. And this new formula has slight scent that I am not a fan of. Will regrettably be returning. It’s a shame because I REALLY loved the original formula smh
I’ve been using it for about a month and my skin is looking so hydrated.
Be VERY careful with this product if your skin is sensitive to sun. I’ve applied it at night and got HEAVY sunburn the next day even though I applied 50 spf before going out (went on a 45 min walk so it’s not because I didn’t reapply sunscreen)
I was very excited to receive this product. I really like the packaging as well as the texture of this product. I have been using this daily at night time as part of my routine. I do feel that my skin looks more luminous and healthy.
