Illuminating Hydrator - Radiance + Smoothing

I have dryish skin and I'm in my forties. This cream makes my skin look soft. I'm a fan.

It made my skin feel sticky and dry. Like, I wouldn’t even use it in a pinch. I threw it out after a week.

Waste of money

This product is absolutely useless. It doesn't hydrate as it claims to do. I always need to applyi Nother layer of moisturizer to make sure my skin is hydrated. After application, it dries out your skin. Wouldn't recommend it

Left my skin feeling super dry and broke me out. Nothing illuminating about it

new morning routine staple!

high quality (and versatile) product for a reasonable price! i like using it layered on top of my morning moisturizer for a "glowy" look when i am not wearing makeup. it is also my go-to makeup primer (i prefer it over the fenty/tarte primers that i used to use). the makeup sticks very well, and you still have a glowy look after using foundation/concealer. i have very sensitive skin and this has not caused any irritation or breakouts. there's not visible glitter/shimmer in the product (it's an opaque white colour), which is what i was worried about when i read the reviews.

Zero Effect

It’s like putting lotion on your face. There’s nothing illuminating about it. No shimmer, shine, or glow. Provides some hydration, but that is it.

product needs to indicate that it contains shimmer

i received a sample of this, completely unaware that the product contains a fine-but-intense pink shimmer (similar to "Physicians Formula's Rosé All Day Serum")...but after using it at night as a serum under my Cerave lotion (not the cream - the cream might be too thick to do this with unless you have dry skin) i was honestly impressed by how luminous my skin was the next morning! i noticed that my post-breakout scars had improved quite a bit - even after washing so as to ensure that i wasn't merely being deceived by the shimmer. i think it's a great product that has been poorly marketed; if it were marketed as a serum, and if the label actually indicated ANYWHERE that it contains shimmer instead of merely describing the product as "illuminating", "radiance + smoothing", and "brightening" (which can be interpreted in many different ways), then i think many consumers would not be so disappointed. for the record: i have oily/flaky combo skin that tends to become congested.

This is the secret sauce for aging oily skin

I have pretty oily skin and day creams turn me greasy. This is the only lotion I can put on every morning and it absorbs within minutes and makes my skin feel supple, soft and the pearlescent light reflecting bits are lovely, not overpowering. If you have dry skin, this will not be heavy enough. Ih ave no idea what it would do for acne prone skin. I am 41 and my aging skin is all about this. I am on my third tube. I tried a great variety of very expensive creams and lotions but this beats them all for day wear. In fact is so amazing that I am giving them out as gifts to friends who I know have similar type of skin.

I love this

I really enjoy this product. I do not wear face makeup and I like that it gives me a little shimmer. I put my sunscreen after this and it’s the perfect amount of moisture. Not too greasy or oily. I use this as a daytime moisturizer only.

Not worth it

This isn’t moisturizing. It gives a pink tint/shimmer, but that’s about it.

It’s a no from me

I’m about to hit 29, I’m trying lots of moisturizers and serums to keep me youthful looking. This one was an awkward lotion texture with a shimmer. My fine lines under my eyes looked WORSE immediately and my tiny hormonal acne spots looked shiny like glitter. Felt sticky on the face. Nothing moisturizing about it.
