I bought this in the winter as a night cream since Hope In A Jar. This cream is super emollient. At first, i was just slathering it on my face like usual, but it didn't absorb as well. Then i started rubbing it between my fingers like i would with Creme De La Mer. I patted it on my face and then massaged it a little. It felt really moisturized without feeling heavy. It did do a slightly better job at moisturizing my face. It also didn't break me out. It's a bit more expensive and i think i'll be sticking to my HIAJ until my face feel parched in the winter months. Overall, if you have dry skin, you can use this instead of HIAJ.

I recieved this in the makeup optional kit by philosophy and apply it after cleansing and before my moisturizer. it has firming and lifting properties (im 21 and have spotted my first wrinkle) this product seems to be helping a lot as far as even skin tone and reducing the size of my pores, though i havent given it enough time to see any firming/lifting going on. the first time i put it on it burned a little bit, but it gives you a smooth canvas for moisturizer absorption and makeup application. it feels absolutely wonderful on your skin, especially if its slightly irritated. plus, the listed ingredients supposedly help with collagen production.

as far as price goes, i am not sure this product is worth the cost yet. i do love the effect it gives though!
