I started using this a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd post a little review.
Initially, I got it because it just sounded neat and it was featured in a Sephora catalog as a good moisturizer for younger skin. (It's also reasonably priced, but I got with a voucher  )
It comes in a little 2 oz tube, inverted. The texture is light (I would say a thin, milky texture) and feels like it might go on greasy, but it doesn't. It has a pleasant, fruity scent, which doesn't hurt.
This product would be best for combo skin, which mine is in the summer. It doesn't make my oily spots oilier and it moisturizes my dry spots. I don't think I 'll continue with it in the winter, though, because I was driving with my windows open one day and the air was dry, and by the time I got to where I was going I was dying for a spritz of my Juice Beauty toner. So I don't think it would keep me plump once the heaters and the cold outside air starts kicking. But, today, for example, was a hot day and my dad I spent a couple hours outside at car lots looking for a new car. My face stayed matte (well, matte enough!  ), and I didn't get any sun thanks to the spf.
As far as tone and texture improvements, my tone does seem a bit more rosier and even. I actually have been foregoing my BE foundation and just using mineral veil and concealor. I actually think I look better without the foundation! It covers up my naturally rosey, summer cheeks!
So, a nice summer product for girls like me who just need that extra bit of moisture in the summer. |

| Good review. We had a sample sachet of this once and I really liked the texture of it. Did you try the matching serumy-thingy too? We had that and it was quite nice, but did not last very long.. |

I've got a full size of this and like it was well. I haven't reached for it lately but do go back to it sometimes.
Also, I used up the whole bottle of the swirly-thingy serum. I liked it and I might get it again but to be honest I didn't see much of a result from it. |

| I'd just like to put in a little warning to sensitive-skinned girls--- this sunscreen contains all chemical sunscreens which is no problem for most people but if you've noticed a sensitivity in the past when you use chemical sunscreens, I'd recommend that you avoid this one. I brought a sample packet of this with me traveling once and I applied it after I washed my face in the morning. Within seconds my skin started to turn red and it felt like it was on fire. I tried wiping it off but it didn't work so I quickly had to wash it all off and start over. My skin calmed down again in a few hours, but I learned that I really can't tolerate a lot of chemical sunscreens. |

*goes off into the dangerous zone of EDS window shopping*
Sorry, it's more of a treatment  It's listed on the treatments page http://www.essentialdayspa.com/murad_treatments_eye_care.htm but I just noticed that when you click on it the wrong description comes up. I'll report that to EDS shortly. |

I got a very generous sample of this from work & I thought it was ok, nothing too special (especially considering the RRP in Australia!  ) But I did find it absorbed pretty well & left no residue, & it also did give me a bit of a healthy glow I think. |
