This is my go to day cream. It's pricey so I only use it in the a.m. But it glides on my skin and I look lighter and my lines fill in a bit with this product. I use a makeup primer on top of it and then foundation and I've never had a break out. I've tried other moisturizers and nothing comes close to this that I've found. The only thing I hate is the price.Love this firming moisturizer! It makes my neck firmer, I am somewhat concerned about fine lines and with LIFTLAB’s neck firming moisturizer I know that I won’t have anything to worry about, I will buy this again.Title and description state it is 1.5oz but I got a TINY little tube that was .3 oz. Not thrilled, just be aware the title and description was wrong.Well, it's step 2 of 3 if you follow LIFTLAB's directions, that is. I didn't realize until I opened the box and read the directions (also printed on the jar) that this is the middle step out of three. The "full" treatment uses two other LIFTLAB products. I mention this in case you want to do a bit of research before investing this much in a moisturizer thinking that it's intended to reduce wrinkles on its own.That said - this is a very good moisturizer. Extremely good, actually. I noticed immediate improvement around my eyes upon using this. My wrinkles...ahem, laugh lines :)...are still noticeably present, but the area where I apply this is clearly smoother and looks better. I've also had no skin irritation from this, and I haven't experienced any effects from having it so close to my eyes (no burning sensations at all).While this is just a 1.7-ounce jar, a little goes a LONG way with this cream. I've been using dedicated facial lotions for years now (from Dove, and more recently from Nivea), and this is much more effective in a small dosage. I just dab the tip of my finger on top of the cream in the jar and pull out a small amount on my fingertip, and that's plenty.The scent is, for all practical purposed, non existent. I really can't smell it, and I'm not complaining. I like neutrally scented lotions.I read up and checked that this isn't tested on animals before I ordered it, as that is very important to me.While it is a fantastic moisturizer, it's a four-star product in my book. Some of that is due to the current cost ($145/jar), but I know that changes often. The other part is due to packaging. A while back, I was able to try out The consistency of this product is very interesting. It is very viscous - kind of like a combination of cream and petroleum jelly. It is difficult to get it to fully absorb into the skin - I had better luck when my face was just a little bit damp. It's kind of a light green color - and the smell is pleasant - a little bit of "essence of plant".I mostly use it at night as it doesn't contain any sunscreen - which I wear every day.When I use the cream - I do notice that my skin plumps up a bit and that some finer lines are less noticeable - but I haven't seen any dramatic differences. I've been using it for a few weeks now and am still looking for a change I really notice. At this price point - I think I expected more "wow" factor - but it is only cream, however, and not plastic surgery.Still - I like the product and will continue using it - though I can't say that a next purchase is a sure thing.If cost weren't an issue, I would make this cream part of my daily routine. I love the way it improves the way the skin on my neck and chest, its smooth and silky texture and its absence of an unpleasant or artificial fragrance. But it's very expensive: $145 for a jar that lasts about six months. This makes it almost as costly as the Cadillac of moisturizers, Le Mer. So frankly, I can't give this product five stars. It's simply too expensive, considering that it does not contain SPF protection--and my doctor suggests daily use of SPF 30, even on hazy days. For the moment, I will stick with more moderately priced products--at least until the makes of LIFTLAB Lift & Moisturize Daily Cream add SPF--and possibly lower the price.
