Just a Tip!

I was looking forward to getting this product. I have my fair share of wrinkles, and i thought perhaps this cream will be "the one". When i noticed the retail price of $162 for only 150 mL, I gasped. I liked the minty aroma, and the way it absorbed quickly into my skin. However, I soon felt a tingly burn. My face was pretty red, and i immediately washed it off. I tried it again the next day. The same thing happened again, and the day after that. It's a shame it didn't comply with my skin. For such an expensive product, the results were less than favourable.

This product claims to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and stretch marks in two to eight weeks.  At the two week mark face wrinkles have shown an improvement in texture making skin look strong and supple. The most positive results are best seen around the eyes. 

In respect to stretch marks, cream was used on side of thighs without visible improvement at the two week mark, however, elasticity of the skin seems to be stronger.

This product will continue to be used for the next six weeks so stay tuned for more two week updates.

The Curel Advanced Ceramide Therapy Extreme is exactly that, an extreme lotion. I found it to be a much heavier lotion. The scent is very subtle, you don't even notice that there is a scent. I tried it on my body but it was too thick for my likings. Then I used it as a hand cream, brilliant! It's great for dry skin but I guess the skin on my body isn't dry enough but I am much tougher on my hands. I keep this lotion at my desk and use it all the time. I would recommend this for someone who wants a stronger lotion. I will try the other lotions in the line to see if I can find what I'm looking for. But until then, my extreme care lotion will do wonders for my chapped hands.

I have eczema and my skin gets really bad during any weather changes, especially in the spring and fall. So this is perfect timing to try out Sensitive Skin Remedy. After two weeks of testing this out, I noticed that there are changes in my skin. I need to reapply most lotions throughout the day but noticed that this one calmed my irritated skin and I didn't need to reapply as often. I think I'll still need my eczema cream come wintertime(when my skin gets very dry and itchy), but so far this skin remedy is a saviour.

I tested the Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy. It is for dry and irritated skin and relieves sensitive skin. This cream works wonders and is amazing for my skin. I have eczema on my face from weather conditions but have dry and combination skin so a lot of products don't work for me. The Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy helped my eczema within days and I use it now whenever my skin gets dry.

The Daily Moisture Fragrance-free lotion was just what I needed. Sometimes fragrances are too strong so the fragrance-free aspect is great. I found that the lotion absorbed quickly and didn't leave my skin greasy or oily feeling. I think that this lotion would be great for the winter months when my skin gets dry because of the weather and dry air. I will keep using this and will buy another once it runs out!

I tested the Curel Advanced Ceramide Therapy Extreme Therapy cream. It claims to relieve and protect for 24 hours. I have fairly dry skin so I thought I would give it a try. I applied this lotion on in the morning after my shower and it felt a bit thick. After rubbing it in I noticed that it absorbed pretty quickly. When I went home that evening, my skin was still soft, I did not need to reapply. I find this cream very helpful. It is a bit thick but that aside, it does the job perfectly. I will definitely buy this again.

The cream was very nice. It was a good texture with a light fragrance. It kept my skin hydrated and soft all day. It was perfect for me because it wasn't too thick and was good to put on before make- up. It seemed to be very good quality and effective product. I would buy again.

I found the product has nice packaging. It goes on very smoothly. I have very sensitive skin and noticed that I broke out with it. I wasn't a huge fan of the fragrance. The product is for wrinkles but I have yet to notice any changes. Maybe it's too early in the game. I'll keep waiting to see if there are any changes. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I received my sample of Yves Rocher Serum Vegetal to try.  From the first usage I could feel the difference in my skin.  My skin felt soft, supple and very moisturized.  I thought that the quality was very superb.   It was very effective in moisturizing my skin, as for reduction in wrinkles and plumping my skin I couldn't see that.  It was lightly scented and I did not like that part.  As for the price - I found that to be a little bit high, as such, between the price and the scent, I would decline to buy it.  Nonetheless, I found it to be a very rich moisturizer and I would recommend it.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.  I found it not greasy, easy to apply and spread.  It didn't feel heavy on my face.  I also liked that it didn't feel like it was ""coming off"" during the day.  Didn't get onto my clothes.
I would recommend with product to anyone.

I awaited the arrival of my product with much anticipation.  The day it arrived I tore open the package pulled out this beautifully presented jar.  I opened the container and a gentle smell wafted from it.  The cream felt smooth and satiny and when I tested it on the back of my hand, it absorbed into the skin quickly.  I couldn't wait until I tried it the next morning.

The next morning, after cleansing my face, I dabbed some Yves Rocher Day Cream on my face and blended it into my skin.  I began to feel a little tingling which was not unpleasant.  However, as the day progressed the tingling changed to a mild burning feeling.  Well, maybe my skin needed time to adjust.  The next day I did the same thing, and the burning feeling was worse.  The third day my eyes started to burn and my face was starting to turn red.  As I was in a wedding in less than 2 weeks, I had to stop using the product.  I'm not sure if my skin would adjust to it, but I could not afford to show up the day of the wedding with red, blotchy skin.  The bride would not be happy.

I like the texture of this moisturizer and it feels good when being applied to the face. The fragrance was too strong however and should be toned down.  I didn't feel it did anything to the product. The container it came in was lovely. I don't believe I would actually buy this product as personally I didn't find it yielded any specific results and it seems a bit overpriced.

First of all I love the quality of the packaging: the red colour with the + Acacia Gum & Apple Oligosides sounds very tempting. The price of the product, it's over priced for me. I would consider to buy this product between the range of $25 - $30.

The quality and effectiveness of the product: I applied the cream every morning and it's great, helps my skin to stay moisturised and soft all day, but so far, there is no visible change on the wrinkles at my eyes and on the firmness of the skin. The texture of the cream it's fine & smooth, I love the pink colour and the pleasent but not too strong fragrance.

The day moisturizer came in a very attractive jar.  It has a very nice smell to it.  I found it moisturized my skin VERY well. It claims it has a plumping force....and I do believe I noticed a bit of a difference in my skin. The price seems very competitive with other creams.  I would go out and buy this product.

The product comes in your typical jar for creams. this makes it easy to access and apply. The texture is very smooth, and it does apply and absorb very well (no greasy feeling).

No noticeable change as far as wrinkle minimization.The ad claims results are immediate, and after 2 weeks, I didn't notice any change.

it may work well as a moisturizer but plenty others are available for less than the $55 for this cream.

 It is a bit pricier than the regular self tanner you find at Shoppers and Trade Secrets, but it's definitely worth the extra cost. I just applied it last week, and my tan still is there. Perfect for the upcoming winter months.

Fake bake was a really good tanning cream. I had no complaints. The scent wasn't bad and it didn't leave me orange or blotchy, which is the fear with most tanning lotions. I followed the instructions and it worked amazingly. I would rate it 4 stars out of 5.

I'm already tanned to begin with so I didn't need to use much of this product for it to be effective. It has no smelly odor and is very natural looking. It easily comes off your clothes if you get some on them by accident. It lasts about a week or so. The price is right and so is the quality.

Having spent a large part of North American summer in South America, I was pretty excited to try a product that would help me look a little less pale on my return. Per Fake Bake's directions, I exfoliated, then donned the gloves (included) and applied the lotion in small circles to my legs. I was a bit apprehensive, since the lotion itself is dark brown and I'm a freckly redhead, but a few minutes later my legs looked like I'd spent an afternoon at the beach. The tan was fairly even and natural-looking, and I didn't look the least bit orange (or resemble Jersey Shore's Snooki, even). The price point ($19-30 for 6oz) seems totally reasonable, and I will definitely recommend this product to my friends.
