This was one of the most expensive products I have ever bought. Honestly, I think there are better and more effective products out there for the price. Being a typical consumer, I bought this because I was suckered into the beautiful packaging and the fact that, well, it is YSL! I find it similar to Lancome's Genefique. I don't find it does much besides adding some moisture to the skin. Even for that, it is not very effective.
