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'm not sure how many jars of this product I have used, but I will never use anything else on my face and neck to prepare me to face the day! I credit this moisturizer for keeping any visible signs of sun damage at bay, and for lightening the spots that had started to appear on my face. It is a perfect base for my foundation, as well, and imparts a subtle glow to the skin. I have mild rosacea, and I am happy to say- at least, in my particular case- this product has not caused any issues at all. I will even throw some on the back of my hands, if I'm in a hurry, and don't want to grab a separate sunscreen for that!

Really nice product. It's a rich, creamy moisturizer with excellent ingredients and provides superior protection. It applies very nicely and isn't sticky and leaves the skin with a beautiful even tone.
I'm glowing!

Love this moisturizer. I originally tried it because my skin was looking dull and dark. After using it for a few months, I noticed my skin was brighter and discoloration was evening out. Many people had approached me asking what I was doing differently as they had noticed that my skin was bright and appeared to be glowing. This made me want to wear it more! I feel confident wearing this moisturizer without makeup. I have been recommending it to so many family and friends.
Love it
