I have used this product for several years and I now try to always keep some on hand, as it really has made a positive difference in my life. Like at least one of the other reviewers, I suffer from migraines. When I developed Chronic Daily Migraine, nausea became something I had to deal with far more often. I have tried several brands of meal replacement beverages, but Boost is the only one that tasted good, and did not add to the nausea. For the times that I find it a little too sweet, I mix it with a bit of unsweetened almond milk. I love the high protein option because most of my usual protein sources are often hard for me to stomach on bad days. Boost High Protein is my 1st choice when I need to restock my "stash", and it's the only brand that I actually recommend to others. -

When I opened the jar, I was initially worried that my skin would react adversely to the (mild & pleasant) scent. Thankfully, I had no problems with it.
I apply the Idealia Skin Sleep each night after applying the Idealia Life Serum. I love that it is a gel-balm rather than a heavy cream. It absorbs nicely into the skin, while still leaving it feeling well moisturized and hydrated. A few mornings I awoke with some small dry patches, but my skin has been undergoing some hormonal changes recently. I have been paying closer attention to make sure I apply a little extra to the areas that seem to get those dry patches, and that has helped.
I like the feel of this product on my skin a lot more than some of the other night-time moisturizers I have tried. My skin feels hydrated, but not greasy. Considering that I've been going through a bout of insomnia, which is never good for my skin, I am impressed that my skin looks better rested than it is. I can't wait until I get some decent sleep so I can see the full results, since I am seeing results even in less than ideal circumstances.
I would most definitely recommend this product to friends and family, and will likely purchase this myself when I need to replace the jar I am currently using. While the price might seem a bit high to some, a little product goes a long way.
I received this product to use and review from ChickAdvisor.

Firstly, I have sensitive skin, and was initially concerned about the scent - even though it is pleasant and mild. I was very pleased that I had no adverse reactions to the serum.
My skin has been going through some hormonal changes, so it has been challenging to find new products that work for me. This one definitely does.
It did not leave my skin feeling oily, and absorbed quickly into the skin, which was nice, because I have tried some night-time serums that DO feel greasy when applied. The serum is a great base for Vichy's night gel-balm. It's a little too soon (just under 2 weeks) to notice a significant improvement in the look of my skin, but it does feel more hydrated in the morning.
I would certainly recommend this to friends and family, and would purchase it myself. It might seem pricey for some, but a little goes a long way.

I've been using this product for years, and absolutely love it. The colour looks natural, and my hair not only looks good, but feels good too. My hairdresser even recommends it to customers unable (due to time or budget) to have their colour done professionally. I tend to move between 2 or 3 different colours (only 1 shade apart), depending on the time of year, and it always turns out great. I am a natural strawberry blonde and have a significant amount of white hair. The product covers white/grey beautifully. I frequently get compliments on my hair colour, and many are surprised that it is dyed (especially when they learn it's not done professionally). I would definitely recommend this particular line of L'Oreal hair colour to those who are going grey. They have other lines, which are also good, but for grey coverage, this one hits the nail on the head. -

I had an opportunity to try this product (along with the daytime formula) prior to purchasing it. I love how this feels on my skin. I have sensitive skin, and find that not all hypo-allergenic products are good as the regular equivalent. This one seems to be as effective as any other good nighttime anti-wrinkle cream I've tried, without the worry of scents or dyes that irritate the skin. No product is going to turn back the clock, but a good one can help slow it down a bit, and this does that. I'll admit, I have very good genes when it comes to how my skin has aged (staying out of the sun and being a non-smoker have aided in that as well). I find that a little of the product goes a long way. It keeps my skin moisturized without feeling greasy, and it is helping my skin maintain a youthful appearance. I will most definitely continue to use this product and would recommend it to friends. -

I can't believe I didn't know about this product before. As a woman with translucent eyelashes, mascara is a must, but I also have very sensitive eyes which takes a lot of mascaras off the table for me. With Clinique's Lash Building Primer, my regular mascara (usually Clinique, but sometimes less expensive brands for sensitive eyes) becomes a high intensity mascara when the primer is applied first. Mascara for sensitive eyes is not truly waterproof, but with this primer, any mascara stays put. I wore it to my sister's wedding, and didn't even have a smudge, despite crying at the ceremony and perspiring from dancing at the reception. It also makes the mascara easier to remove. I LOVE this product and would recommend it 100%. -

While it is on the pricey side, a little goes a long way with this product. I have tried several other BB creams, but not all brands have a pale enough colour for my fair complexion. This goes on easily, and it doesn't even feel like it's there. Great coverage - skin looks truly "camera ready". It lasts all day, even in the heat of summer, and never feels greasy or like a mask, which I often find with a full foundation by the end of the day. I love that a 35 SPF is built in. If I'm just out and about as usual, I don't have to worry about putting on another layer of sunblock. I also have quite sensitive skin, and this doesn't irritate it at all. I have no qualms at all about recommending this product, and will be using it. -

While it doesn't give me the same look as some drugstore brands, this is the only mascara I've found that doesn't irritate my eyes while still giving me a great look. My lashes are naturally translucent, so mascara is a must but until I tried this one, I didn't realize how much other brands were irritating my sensitive eyes. It doesn't make my eyes sting or water, even when I am washing it off. Definitley worth every cent! -
