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 have been using this since 2019, and have always loved the creamy consistency of the product, which reassured I was using a quality product.

I've been using this since 1998. People stop me on the street and in stores to say how beautiful my skin is. I usually use the Photo-Brightening Moisturizer over my regular moisturizer, like a primer, and don't wear base makeup. Sun protection, no wrinkles, and lots of compliments!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I haven't yet been able to test the SPF aspect of the "Vitamin C Ester Photo-Brightening Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30," but I love the look and feel of my skin after I apply the moisturizer. It gives my face a bit of a mild 'glow' without looking like I'm wearing makeup. The whipped consistency makes it easy to get an even application, leaving a light, moisturized, non-greasy feel. I also appreciate the fragrance-free aspect. I had a special offer for a significant percentage off the price, which made it easier to give the product a try. Now, I'll just have to watch for future offers, as I hope to purchase this again.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Don't see any benefits of this moisturizer; it makes my skin feel like I need to put some other kind of moisturizer over it. Not happy with it and the return policy is not as clear cut as they make it seem and customer service is frustrating. I had to ask the same question 3x before I got a response from Adile.

I've been using this for a few weeks now, and I love it. It goes on smooth, brightens my skin, and it also has SPF in it which is great.
