"i tend to have oily skin and occasional breakouts. I use this after washing with the microdelivery wash and it is the only thing I need for moisturization. It sinks in well and does not leave my face shiny. it has brightened my skin."

magic in a little brown bottle
Posted: March 16, 2009
"at first i wasn't overly fond of the scent of this serum. i kept using it twice a day and within 1-2 weeks the texture of my skin was so much smoother! my skin tone seemed to even out and the pore size seemed reduced. my skin looked and felt great! i have grown fond of the scent of the serum now. it has an "earthy" smell and is very light and oil free. try it. i use it after i cleanse and use the microdelivery peel pads and won't miss a day. it might just be what your skin is looking for! It's what mine seemed to be needing."

perfect daytime serum!
Posted: March 4, 2009
"i love this serum. just use four drops for your face and neck, and it won't be sticky. it does have a different consistancy, but it's no big deal. i rub my hands a touch before applying to my face. and then pat pat pat the product on before i gently rub it all over. its a very quick process

it does take a dry time of like a minute or less. but there are times i do not wait and it's fine. just remember not to overuse this product, it'll dry as it should and any way- a little goes a long way

you need this protection during the day. spf is not enough anymore! we need these antioxidants as well.

i also suggest the vitamin c powder. it mixes well with this and further protects your skin.

won't be without again!
Posted: March 3, 2009
"i ran out and didn't replace for about 3 weeks. wow, i knew how much i loved this serum but i could really see and feel a difference when i was out. i don't find the serum to be thick and sticky like other posts. i put about 5 drops in my palm and use my ring finger (on the other hand) to just dab the serum and apply in sections of my face, including my eyes, neck and chest. wait a minute and the i apply my eye creams and hope in jar or bottle, which i use less of as they just glide into the skin. since using this, the darkness on my eye lids and under eye circles have lightened and all but my biggest age spots are gone."

Posted: February 20, 2009
"i was using too much of this when i first got it because it was taking forever to 'dry'. i've backed off on the amount and it dries much quicker. this is thick and kind of sticky, i had to get used to it, but wow......what a difference this stuff makes!"

Love it!
Posted: January 25, 2009
"I can't remember why I stopped using this product, but I'm so glad I've come back to it. I had forgotten how wonderful it is. I've tried some very expensive serums and not one is as effective as yours. I use 3 drops and it absorbs into my skin completely without leaving a thick or sticky residue. Any moisturiser works much better when applied after this serum, and My face feels silky and soft all day."

combo skin types rejoice
Posted: January 6, 2009
"whine serum works perfect even with my combo skin. no breakouts or congestion. has made my less than perfect skin look so much better. I recently started mixing it with the booster c powder and wow, my skin has a clarity to it I've never seen before. absorbs immediately. Leaves my skin soft and never tacky. lets my moisturizer glide right on. If it's a super hot, humid day i'll just use this under my spf, A pigment of your imagination, and I am out the door."

excellent serum
Posted: January 4, 2009
"i really love this serum. it goes on and absorbs almost immediately. my skin feels completely dry but very soft. never leaves my skin feeling oilly or like there is a residue like other serums. also, i noticed that skin has a slight tightening sensation upon application, not pulling!! My only complaint is that i wish it were unscented. not crazy about fragrance osf this product but, the overall feel and results outweigh this very minor issue!"

feels great
Posted: December 25, 2008
"My face really feels good after I use this. I'm hoping the longer I use this the better my skin will look. I'm 60, just turned this yr. and my poor skin needs all of the help it can get. I wish there had been this kind of product 20 yrs. ago, my skin might be better and less wrinkled right not. The bottle should last a while because it doesn't take much"

essential to my skin routine
Posted: December 19, 2008
"i was in denial that it was time for me to begin using a serum so I was skeptical that this would provide any noticable differences. boy was i wrong! my skin feels smoother and firmer, and the fine lines I pretended i didn't have are less noticeable. if ifor some reason i skip this step, i can tell a difference the next day. if you're over 30, add this to your skin routine and you won't be sorry!"

Posted: December 13, 2008
"this is a great serum to use in the morning after you cleanse your face, it makes your skin feel like it's firming up, but not like it's tight and dried out. plus I like putting all those vitamins on my skin, too, to replenish it. love this serum for day as much as I love the other one at night. and this one smells better!!!"

whoa!
Posted: December 10, 2008
"This is wonderfully intense. I have noticed tighter, smoother skin in only four days. even more impressive, my mom noticed this morning. it soaks right into the skin without irritation. Since philosophy i have not had to use that other skin care company that starts with a p, specializing in acne. my face is clearer that it ever was using that line. that line of skincare also aged my 33 year old skin unnaturally. i am acne free and starting to once again look my age. i can' t find one philosophy product that i don't love. Thanks so much for giving me control of my skin and a glow i've not had in years."
