It's back!

OMG! The original formula is back! I am so happy! I've been using this since, at least, 1998, and have been hiding my face since the todo with that reformulation. I feel like I can show my face again! Nothing made me happier. I could go without makeup and get compliments on how beautiful and unwrink...

I have been using this since 2019, and have always loved the creamy consistency of the product, which reassured I was using a quality product. This moisturizer with SPF was used daily as my am skin care regimen. I absolutely loved the protection not only from the SPF, but the Vitamin C ester deliver...

I was pretty surprised to like this one so much, because of mixed reviews. I don't tend to use this thick of a day time moisturizer, but a top the essence, and whichever serums, this actually dries down so beautiful to the touch and leaves my skin feeling tight and bright. It does dry to me with no tack, and a sort of matte finish, as opposed to a glossy or sheer. I received it as a sample, and at first, I was didn't really like the apricot color and feel. However, once I wipe the excess from my eyebrows and it fully dries down, it does not really leave a white cast on my skin, which I was surprised at because I am dark-skinned southeast asian decent. I can see myself repurchasing this for sure.

Poor shelf life and/or quality control

After about a month and a half it no longer applied clear, leaving a natural brightening shine. Instead, it applied like a cakey tinted moisturizer 1-2 shades too light. The lid also started breaking away in big chunks!

User submitted media
The breakage on the lid went all the way around. It broke in 4 different parts and the holes kept expanding. This is probably the reason the product stop performing so quickly?!

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Highly recommended for older or sensitive skin

It is one of the few creams I have tried that feels lighf on my skin, non greasy, absorbs well, and has spf. I highly recommend to women who hate the feel of makeup on the skin. It also, doesn't cause me break outs or irritation. I bought a several jars on sale and sending the extra out as Christmas gift for my oldest daughter.
