Do not know if anyone has tried this but I find it great. My skin feels so smooth and when it says you only use a small bit its true and it can be used around eyes also. Its price would not break the bank.

Can you tell me if this has a fragrance to it? Unfortunatley, lately, I need fragrance free products, and I have read such good reviews about this cream, wondering if I might be able to use it. Thanks! Smile

wanted to bump this up as i've been interested in this cream.

I've pasted the info below from Sephora.com, and as you can see, there are a hellova lot of ingredients in this!! Can TOO much in a cream actually be detrimental to your skin? Can some of these ingredients cancel each other out? Is the effectiveness dimished due to so many ingredients?

Here's a summary of what's in it:
-MMP Inhibitors: Prevent the breakdown of the skin matrix, maintain skin firmness, strength, and suppleness; encourage collagen production; and provide pigment inhibiting action.
-Wrinkle Reduction Peptides: Activate skin's firming mechanism and help restore the dermal matrix to improve elasticity and tone.
-Visual Facial Fillers: Increase adipocytes (cells which contain lipids and help maintain cellular energy balance) to volumize hollow areas and restore facial volume.
-Cellular Respiration Boosters: Help decrease redness and stimulate metabolic activity to increase cellular oxygenation.
-Hyperdermal Destressors: Slow transepidermal water loss (skin moisture lost by evaporation into the atmosphere) while binding water to skin for continuous hydration.
-7 Day Hydrators: Maintain the skin's hydrolipidic film and barrier for improved hydration lasting up to seven days after each use.
-Barrier Repairing Ceramides: Enhance and repair skin's lipid moisture barrier, which improves skin's ability to naturally heal and restore, resulting in improved skin softness and vitality.
-Wrinkle Relaxers: Inhibit muscle contraction that can cause wrinkles (especially those due to repetitive facial movements, like smiling or squinting), while light diffusing silicones and organic film formers reduce the appearance of facial lines.
-Multifruit Complex: Increase cell renewal, encourage collagen production, and boost skin elasticity and hydration.
-Vita-zyme A Plus: Provides similar benefits to Retin-A but without irritation, to improve skin texture and firmness.

I love the name Razz

But can you really believe this incredibly long ingredient list, over 70 ingredients?

It's not just what's in the jar is important but the % of the real actives. Unfortunatelly, its not required for manufacture to list the %, other than for the sunscreen.

That's a lot of ingredients! I don't know if that is good or bad. I do remember reading something about the 1st 10 ingredients are the main things in a product, and other "stuff" isn't high enough in % to do anything.
