Love this product!! I'm extremely oily, and this product controls shine beautifully. It has ALL of the same benefits as the original creme, but without the oil. It goes on very smoothly, making it an excellent base for foundation. I use this during the daytime, and the original Creme de la Mer at night. My skin has never been so soft, raidiant, or evenly toned. I get soooo many compliments of how "beautiful" my skin looks. It may be expensive, but it's worth every penny!!
