I received this as a promo along with an Aveeno Maxglow cleanser and was excited to try - I was expecting this to be oily, thick and likely to sit on top of the skin. I was wrong, this is super light and watery. The scent is very faint, I can barely detect it. I like the spout as you can't "over pour" by accident so the dispensing control is spot on, IMO. I used this right after my usual moisturizer by patting it into my skin, and it definitely made my skin smoother and more hydrated than usual. And definitely not oily! It provides a good moisture boost when paired with a moisturizer. I think this would work nicely as the weather warms up and I swap out several winter-y products for something lighter. -

I received this as a promo and was excited to try - was so surprise how good this works! I have sensitive and quite dehydrated skin at the moment but this did NOT strip at all. It is quite heavily scented, like fresh cucumbers but nothing my nose couldn't handle. The best part is it took off all my makeup including waterproof mascara. What a surprise! My skin was left hydrated and soft. I am honestly surprised at the effectiveness of cleansing off makeup and skin without drying. I love this one! -

Lately I've been battling dry and sensitive skin, mainly due to the harsh winter in Canada and crazy indoor heating/blistery outdoor weather. With that I have been getting the occasional minor skin rash on my cheek as well as reddish hyper pigmentation from blemishes. I was initially afraid to to try this when my skin is misbehaving when received it in the mail but I still gave it a go for the last two weeks so I could write this review. I used this every 3 days, at night only, after cleansing and before putting on a very hydrating moisturizer. My skin likes it! It didn't sting like other glycolic acid treatments I've tried before, even at my skins current state. I also use spf 50 in the daytime so that could have helped. My skin is slowly becoming clearer in the two weeks I've used this - the hyper pigmentation is fading away and the rashes I had were NOT aggravated at all. I will continue using this (every few days since it is still cold where I live) and see where this takes me. I am excited to see the long term changes! -

My hair has been been getting progressively curlier and rougher over the years, and even weekly masks barely make a difference in texture. I tried this creme once and my hair was immediately smooth and soft! The smell was very mild and in fact I liked it. Since this can be used daily I think the texture of my hair will only improve and possibly become less frizzy and curly. Win! I love this conditioner creme and would definitely recommend it. -

I haven't had a Jos Louis since high school, seriously. I used to buy a pack a week. Maybe I got sick of them so I have bought since. In comes the Peanut Butter Cake Bars, yum! I wouldn't buy a pack of this every week but it was definitely a sweet treat to try this flavour! Super yummy and reminds me of being a kid again :) I like it! -

I heard the hype years ago but never bought a bottle as it far surpasses my comfort level of "supplementary" skincare budget! I got my hands on a few sachet samples and took it with me on a beach vacation-didn't so much for my sun sand and wind parched skin I thought. I received this as a generous gift from my mother and have tried it religious, nightly, after double cleansing and toning, and prior to lotion/cream. It could be due to my acellerated skin aging (hello 30's!) or that I'm in my usual Canadian climate, but this setting has transformed my dehydrated, semi crinkly crows feet to plump and glistening baby skin! A bottle doesn't come cheap but now I understand the hoopla. Get it, you won't be disappointed. Unless you drop the bottle and break it! -

This made my skin feel so soft and hydrated but not greasy at all. I used a loose mineral powder foundation on top of this primer on a 9 hour workday and think this made the makeup look nicer and last longer. Also think this smells nice, kind of soft and sweet but very light. And it's a natural product, another thumbs up. I would recommend this primer for sure! -

I got this without reading reviews, on a whim because I wanted to treat myself to a new beauty product. I have several Marc Jacobs Beauty products, some great, some mediocre but this one may be my favourite. I have the "bright idea" shade: It's a pink liquid brightener, in a sleek black clock pen that is quite elegant and feels luxurious in my hand. This concealer really livens up my under eye darkness without creasing. Not sure how fresh it looks after a full day at work but I have oily skin which tends to break down makeup by mid-afternoon. Not a show stopper for me. I'm really enjoying this concealer and will probably use this to the end! -
