I had the opportunity to use one vial of this four dose treatment and my skin never looked so good. Unfortunately, I've not been in a position to purchase this product in its entirety yet. Simply put, however, it delivers everything it promises. My understanding of this product is that you're supposed to use it twice a year to kind of revamp your skin. The four doses are designed to last you a month (1 vial per week) and they are to be used alone after you cleanse and without any moisturizer on top. Although I found that the one pump they recommend for your whole face was not enough to cover mine, I can't tell you how different my skin looked in the morning. Right away I noticed that the skin under my eyes was more fleshtoned and had none of the "just woke up" wrinkles I normally find in the morning. There was absolutely no redness and my pores were visibly smaller. My skin felt remarkably soft and taut. After 5 days (I just couldn't make it last 7), the skin under my eyes, and the from my nose to my mouth looked thicker and more plump. The topography of my skin seemed more even (as weird as that sounds, it really looked different). I've never used a product that had such immediately tangible results (and I've used EVERYTHING). Really give this one a shot if you can...this site says $1, but I'm pretty sure it retails for $1500.

I LOVE this lotion. The day lotion from Clinique's Repairwear line is one of the few products I've used to the last drop...and purchased again. I'm partial to the fact that the SPF contained within is 6.7% zinc oxide and only one other ingredient (the chemical UVB block, octinoxate). The zinc oxide ensures that I'm protected against both UVA and UVB rays and I also find that it finishes more matte than other other suncreens. Further, the research I've read indicates that zinc oxide (and the other physical UVA/UVB blocker, titanium dioxide) protects against a broader spectrum of UVA rays than avobenzone or the new mexoryl...and all without making me look greasy. Additionally, there's a great collection of antioxidant ingredients that are pretty high up on the list (indicating higher concentrations). I use this product on top of my C E Ferulic from Skinceuticals and Prevage serum. I know it sounds like antioxidant overkill, but check in with me in 20 years and ask me how I'm doing;) All I can say is that I have tried countless SPF products and none has performed like this. Not only am I comforted by the wonderfully formulated sun protection and epic length list of antioxidants, but it absorbs immediately into my skin and finishes matte. I don't have breakouts and my skin is decidedly less red and I'm looking forward to enjoying the long term results.

I'm disappointed that a product of this price point from a company with so many resources could be so profoundly disappointing. What I found was a heavily perfumed cream with a waxy texture that failed to sink into my skin. Further, the ingredients left me completely underwhelmed. This "magical" vanilla extract they speak of was almost at the bottom of the list (ingredients being listed in order of concentration, this indicates to me that there isn't enough of the ingredient in the product to be effective). Besides the vanilla, everything else was emollients, waxes, preservatives, and perfume. Nothing else to indicate to me that I would enjoy any skin perfecting benefits. Being a sucker for expensive products, though, I gave it a shot and just ended up looking greasy. I would only recommend this to somebody as an extremely rich moisturizer that could soothe dry skin. I would be sure to caution, however, not to expect any of the firming, smoothing, or brightening that I would hope for in a product this expensive.
