Review (2/5): One of the most unappealing facial products I have used
I try to avoid reviews for products before I try them myself, but I was kinda shocked to see a low rating so I peaked. Other reviews mentioned things like how watery the product was and how yellow-y the color was, and I'll admit, I was worried. But just because one person has a bad product, doesn't mean that I would have the same experience.
Turns out, I did.
When I opened the container, I saw the same runny, milky yellow gloop (this is NOT a cream by any stretch of the imagination) as I saw in the other reviews. There is a sparkle also, which I'm sure is meant as cosmetic, to make it more appealing. I almost didn't want to dip my finger in it, but I did. It was a very thin product left on my finger. Then I sniffed it. It was a horrid scent; I cannot quite describe it, as it's (fortunately) not strong enough to really kick in, but the scent is unpleasant and just "wrong".
Right there, I probably could have enough justification to not use the product. But I wanted to attempt to be thorough, so I did. I dabbed my finger into the jar of liquid shimmery gloop, ignored the scent and rubbed it on my face. And I was fine - it was pretty moisturizing (my skin tends to be dry so that is good for me), soaking through pretty quickly and leaving my skin soft.
This isn't a cream; this is a liquid. And everything about the liquid sets off alarm bells, from the thickness to the texture to the color to the smell. Fortunately, the product itself seems to work - I'd need to use it longer to see if it does long term. But I don't know if I can manage to use it that long - couple that with the EXORBITANT price of $49, I will definitely NOT be repurchasing.
