Strongest points
Easy to apply, has a nice scent. I have tried using as a light moisturiser on it's own and over the top of Pro Intense. My skin did look brighter after using.
I love Elemis products but I am not sure this has a real place in their collection.

Weakest points
A little expensive for the kind of results it gave
Summary
A nice to have additional product which does give some luminosity to the skin but a little expensive for the kind of results achieved. I don't feel it is a necessity though

Expensive for the results.
Summary
I am a huge fan of Elemis and this is just as good quality as any other products I've used from them but I wont be buying this product, not because it doesn't work but because I can't justify using it as opposed to other products. The scent is nice as is the texture (if a little gritty feeling). Absorption is fine and frankly it's a very nice product. The impact is limited in terms of lightening and tightening the skin but it's still a nice moisturiser. Good but just not for me.
