This is expensive however like alot tof the arden products a little goes a long way, not sure iff it is doing what is is supposed to but skin definatley feels smoother and it smells nice.

Reviews
It's one of those things that you can't give up once you start using it. I found it brought my skin to life slightly and balanced it. My moisturer feels better over it and my foundation sits better.
I received a generous deluxe mini of this from the Elizabeth Arden counter when it first launched. The idea is to apply this prior to your usual serum and moisturiser. I'm a fan of the Korean skincare routines so layering products isn't new to me.
Firstly, the product itself. It is a clear gel with the consistency of a serum and has a very pleasant, slightly fruity, floral fragrance. It's applies easily, leaving the skin feeling moisturised and sits on top of the skin. Agreed, this does mean you use less of the products you apply over it, but this is my experience of any products I have layered.
This is a really lovely product but I just really don't get the point of it. The whole concept of an expensive booster to improve the efficacy of the rest of your regime is lost on me. Shouldn't they all just do what they say anyway? I would be more convinced if this was marketed as a serum in its own right albeit a pricey one. At this price point I would not purchase again.
I got this from the beauty Vault a long time ago. I use as a moisturizer it works well and does not feel sticky. I find it also can go under primer or make up fine. It does not have a nasty smell and is white in colour with a medium to thick viscosity. To be honest I did not realize how good for me it was. Reading the description above makes me like it more. Its packaging design is quite unique. I do not have other skin care products from Elizabeth Arden so I just use it with my own skin care products or on its own. It smalls nice and a little goes a decent way. I would not pay this much in real money for it but it is nice to have a luxury product. I am not so sure it helps much to my skin but the description above makes it seem that way. It does help with hydration and perhaps makes me look a bit luminous.
I thankfully did not pay for this, and got it gifted with an Elizabeth Arden auction I won. It is very nice. the packaging is great, it smells wonderful and absorbs easily into the skin. Frankly I do not get it. I don't understand this extra step in the skincare routine and I felt like I was spending forever in the bathroom with all my lotions and potions. I think it did help even out my skin tone, and I do have fairly sensitive skin and this didn't cause any problems at all for me. The reason I have given this such a low review is the price point on this product and the fact that it is an extra step that seems unnecessary to me.
I absolutely love Elizabeth Arden products so was every excited to get this one in the December vault.
It comes in a zany, silver, futuristic, looking bottle. The dispenser is on the lid and dispenses by being pressed. It kind of reminds me of a little robot.It is gorgeous and classy-looking.
The product is a white lotion.I only need a small amount each time and have mainly been using it at night. It absorbs quickly into my skin and doesn't leave any stickiness or residue.
It has a subtle fresh and slight fruity scent, which I like.
Immediately on application my skin feels soft , smooth, and fresh, and I don't need much else, if anything on top. I usually apply some skinfood serum as I like to think the extra oil is helping both products work together. By using it at night, I like to think the product is doing it's best work while I'm sleeping, and my skin looks quite fresh in the mornings.
I note it has many lovely natural ingredients, and this also makes me feel very good about using it.
The price is a bit prohibitive, but like other Elizabeth Arden products, if I was flush I would repurchase, as they are certainly quality products.
Would I recommend it? definitely, if you can get hold of some to try then grab it with both hands :)
Tips: Apply to freshly washed, warm skin, and follow with a good serum or night cream - mmmm.
I got a mini jar sample of this a while back when it launched I think. Love the smell, love the smooth slightly thin texture, don't love my skin's reaction to it. I have really sensitive skin on my face and unfortunately this didn't agree with me at all. It stung and itched at the same time and I hurried to wash it off. I gave it another go recently but to no avail.
Be careful if you're sensitive skinned like me and always patch test (unlike me). And since this is so expensive I'm really glad I didn't buy this.
I was lucky to get some samples of this from Farmers. I used this on my eye and forehead area only. I found after application my eyes felt awakened and refreshed. The wrinkle busting properties were not there, but holistically this product is top notch, the price tag is hefty, $106 for 30 ml, which is a shame, otherwise I would use this constantly.
I don't know whether to recommend this product or not. It's a nice, lightweight gel serum that feels fine underneath other skincare products, and it's gently moisturising without feeling heavy. It smells faintly floral in a fresh way.
The problem is that this costs $100 (or thereabouts?) and you have to use it in addition to your normal skincare. I just... I just can't see that being justified for most people. It means you use a little bit less of the products you put on top, sure, but you've still got to put things on top of it. It's a very expensive extra step, but if you've got the money for it, then by all means, go ahead.
I picked this up along with the superstar cleanser . Thought I would give it a try. What got me interested was that it’s a skin booster. My skin is ageing slowly and I have uneven skin tone . In the winter months I find my skin needs an extra boost whether it’s a serum or this.
Packaging comes in this silver bottle . It’s an unusually shaped pump bottle. Texture of this product is like a gel . Has a floral scent .
I like to put this on before my day cream . Just to give my skin an extra boost. I used this daily for about two months . I did notice my skin is hydrated but I expect this result from most of my skincare products.
Overall I think I would just leave this one . I can’t see myself purchasing this one again. It didn’t wow me at all or do anything extra special.
