Has anyone tried Estee Lauder Idealist Skin Refiner?

[bizimom]

On another website (Epinions.com) this anti-wrinkle lotion was highly reccomended. But its expensive, $45.00 for a small jar. Just wondering if anyone has tried this stuff out, and if they like it. Leslie:wassatt:

Hi,I have tried it its ok but if your skin is sensitive maybe you should not try and another thing do not wear it during the day outdoors because it can do more harm than good what I mean is it can burn-tan your skin.

ooooh i want this too! your supposed to use it with the other idealist product, but i don't think that's necessary is it? because they're $45 each and they better do a damn good job for 100 bucks.

totally overpriced. You are paying for a name and a pretty bottle. Find out whats in it and look for a reasonably priced product that does the same thing

( believe me, they are out there!! )

I was reading something about Perricone, the "wrinkle" guru- he writes books, he has products for aging skin etc etc - he was quoted as saying this about women: "Promise them an unlined face and you can sell them anything."

None of the ingredients in the high end creams/serums do the job any better than their lower priced conterparts!!!

I tried it and I don't really like it.

It's over priced and broke me out.

Thanks girls, you saved me $45.00. Let me ask another question. Has anyone tried Roc anti wrinkle products? I'm told the new moisturizer has alot of retinen A. Right now, I'm using Alpha Hydrox to exfolitate as suggested by another member. (Thank You for the tip, I have been using it for about three weeks and I do think the fine lines are getting better!) I looked at Rocs' site. And, their site displayed befor and after photos. The improvment of those ladies skin was SHOCKING! Although I don't know if they have been doctored up. Let me know what you think. Leslie:whistling:

Hey Girls. I too was seduced by the EL ISR. I do love the way it smells and the way it makes my skin feel right after I put it on, but I am having a hard time jusitfying the price versus what it actually does. A friend uses Olay Reginerest Daily Regenerating Serum and says it is basically the same thing as the EL ISR. Has anyone tried the Regenerist? How does it compare? :wassatt:

I use it and love it! It's what I buy when they have their gift time. Here's my review...https://www.makeuptalk.com/reviews/sh...&fromMyIndex=1

I've used the Olay Regenerist Serum for about 3 weeks now and I like it a lot. I feel a difference in my skin, a softness, and the pores seem finer...though of course it could be wishful thinking,partly,too!

I've used several of the Roc products...aboout a year ago. Can't remember their specific names but they were for around the eyes...I liked them a lot(were great under concealer, too)but then got introduced to another skin product line, Dermalogica, and just didn't repurchase. But if I saw Roc in the store today, I would definitely buy it: my friend, who is a nurse at a dermatologist's, says he prescribes AND sells Roc products at his office--highly recommends them.

I have not tried Idealist but have considered it. ROC, Alpha Hydrox and La Roche Posay are good products.

I just bought it and I like tha way my face feels in the a.m., but I don't really notice any difference with it besides that. I'm just trying to use up this bottle so that I can go back to cliniques 3-step system.

I bought the kit that contains that, a clenser an eye cream and the antioxdant day cream. I don't reccomend the daycream if you have oily skin becuase it makes your skin very oily.

I hope this helped /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sierra! I just bought Ros deep wrinkle night cream today. I bought it a CVS Pharmacy for $19.99. I using it tonight. I have read alot of good things about it, and it is reccomended by a derm. in an anti aging article I read. Leslie.

I think it is overpriced too. It moisturizers a bit and gives the feeling of smoothness because it contains silikones. in long run doesn't do much... I think you can get better results using acidic treatments..
