I like it! This emulsion is like a milk. This is how milk it looks like. Moderately liquid, but not fluid. This is just a thick milk, not a liquid cream. The aroma is very pleasant bergamot and grapefruit.
There are no problems with application at all. The emulsion glides on the body very easily, and in a uniform and thin layer. Application can be in two versions - on wet skin and on dry one. The absorption time depends on this.
On wet skin (after a shower), the emulsion lays down very thinly. And it is absorbed very quickly. Literally one leg was smeared, and on the second everything had already been absorbed. Very quickly without feeling of films, rubbery skin, oily.
On dry skin (before going to bed), I applied almost every day. And depending on the amount of emulsion, the absorption took place in different ways. If you literally smear a drop on your palms and then rub / pat the product into the skin, it was absorbed very quickly, but not instantly. Probably 3-4 minutes you need to wait until it is completely absorbed. But if you overdo it, then it an take it for 15 minutes. Now I'm in no hurry to sleep, I smear my neck, chest, stomach soundly and lie on my back on the bed. And after 10-15 minutes I put on a night shirt and go to bed.
After a shower, the emulsion perfectly nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Despite the very thin layer of emulsion, the skin does not feel any discomfort at all.
If used just before going to bed, then in this case the emulsion seemed a little oily on the skin. That is, not yet fully absorbed, I can feel this certain oily with my hands. However, once completely absorbed, the skin no longer has this effect. Once absorbed, the skin is so velvety that it looks like a baby's in the morning. This is an amazing feeling.
The emulsion is decent. Maintains skin tone, gives elasticity, velvety and has a cumulative effect. This is noticeable after every shower - there is no roughness, the skin is smooth and elastic. Excellent prevention of withering of such fragile, delicate and thin skin as the skin of the neck, décolleté, chest and abdomen.
A Lightweight and Moisturizing Lotion This product is light weight and moisturizing without being overly heavy and sticky. I cannot speak to a body firming effect, as it felt like any other Philosophy lotion I've used before. I didn't necessarily feel like my skin was finer, perhaps with prolonged use the results would be difiere the. This scent isn't necessarily my favorite, it has a strong floral scent and I prefer more woodsy and fruity scents. It scent does seem to last quite some time, it was rather strong initially and then slightly dissipated over an hour or so. I could still smell it several hours later. With the scent being so strong no other scented products should be used as it would be truly overpowering. Overall it is good quality and a reasonable price for a higher end product. Also, a little goes a long way so I imagine the 16oz bottle will at least a month with daily use.

I absolutely love this scent. I previously used Amazing Grace, but this is a really nice change! It is surprisingly citrusy. Exactly what I've been looking for!
I will definitely buy this again! 5

In the late 90s, a roomie of mine introduced me to Philosophy's skincare line and I fell in love! All these years later, I'm still in love. I thought nothing could top the original Amazing Grace fragrance, then you hit us with Pure Grace, and now, Bergamot. I love, love, love this scent. I get so many compliments when I wear it. A coworker recently complimented me (and questioned me) for several minutes on the scent. He liked it so much. I introduced my daughter to your products and now she's in love too. As for Bergamot, I love the subtlety of the fragrance and it works well layered with another lotion I use to prevent dry skin. If Philosophy went out of business, I don't know what I'd do. I love so many of your products. Keep going strong! I'm a customer for life.
Lovely but powerful scent! 3

I've been using Philosophy products for years. Usually Amazing Grace. This had a very powerful scent. Not a bad smell, but it was too strong for me. I'll go back to the basics!
