I have combed through so many products, over the years, and none have paid off visibility as e.f.l. skincare products. I was trained as esthetician with a high end products during school. I have looked for natural, cost and reliability. I discovered e.f.l. by accident looking in an aisle designated for such. I grabbed up the product read the ingredients and I put everything in my cart I so excited for these ingredients aren't found on grocery store shelf's and insane for the meager cost. I was as a women and a scientist couldn't wait to prove my hypothesis and sure enough it did just that. My Husband is in the Military and it's not easy to just get a license to practice. I have spent years dedicated to each and every organic and inorganic combination to protect our skin and health from free radicals in our environment. I really must thank you at e.f.l. for knowledge of what our skin really needs and making it affordable, for everyone. The best compliment came this weekend when a ceremony was held for my Husband and a women who thot I was almost 12 yrs younger than I am.

Okay product, not for me
I was super excited to try this product after reading some great reviews. I received it several days ago and have used it every day since. It's great packaging but the way it's dispensed doesn't work all that well (it's easy to get too much product and that's wasteful). The product itself is sticky when applied before it dries (which I can't stand) and doesn't provide enough moisture for my dry skin. That being said, it's not a bad product, and would be fantastic as a moisturizer if my skin wasn't so dry to begin with. Wouldn't buy again after I finish the bottle, but would suggest to friends with different skin types.

Bring it back!
I used this for three years and scoured the internet for more bottles once I learned (a little too late) that it was discontinued. I haven’t been able to find a replacement and it’s been almost a full year 😭Please bring it back!!!

I am so upset this has been discontinued! It was the best product I’ve used for dry skin. I really hope they bring it back because I am on my last bottle.

Possible Reaction
I was the most excited about getting this product and even managed to snag an extra one for my mom. We both have very sensitive skin. I heard no complaints so far from her, but the last couple of times I used it my face went fully red and had a kind of tingling/burning sensation. I didn't get bumps or irritation so I dont think its an allergy. It just might not have played well with my skin. I thought maybe it could be other products that it didnt like, but I was using it directly after cleansing with cetaphil. All in all, I was bummed. But the packaging is beautiful and you get a whole lotta product for a good price. Be aware there is fragrance in this. I somehow missed that when I was going over the ingredient list.

Nice scent
I recently bought this product as it was on sale. The moisturizer is initially quite tacky when applied but quickly absorbs into my skin. I layer other products over it and never seem to have an issue. There’s a large amount of moisturizer and it is definitely worth it for it’s price.

Lovely!
I got this for free as a gift with another purchase so i was hesitant. If it is that good why would it be free? But it is amazing! Feels hydrating and absorbs nicely. I was worried after I applied it because it felt quite tacky. But it quickly dried and felt lovely. Love it! Will be reordering!

Love it!
This is one of my staple skincare products! It’s a great value for the price (especially on sale, which elf does often), and its ingredients are good. You have hyaluronic acid and glycerin for hydration, niacinamide for so many things (helping with hyperpigmentation, regulating oil control, strengthening the skin-just look it up) with a little bit of antioxidants, which never hurts! it’s a slightly viscous watery texture, and dries a little bit tacky on the face as is typical of most humectant-heavy products, which is fine since you’ll probably layer a moisturizer on it afterward. I always love using it when my skin is a bit drier since it helps with hydration but isn’t oily. Also saves me the trouble, time, and price of having to layer different products to get effectively the same result!

Mine just arrived. Should it look cloudy? Or have small items floating in it? (not air bubbles but something white).
Leddy
·8 years ago
It should look relatively clear in the bottle (considering, of course, that the bottle is frosted), especially when it's still. When you shake it, it looks like it has little air bubbles suspended in the esscence that can look white. When you pour some in your hand, however, it should be completely clear. If not, contact customer service and ask for a replacement.
