$150?! I used to buy this product all the time for $120 and I did really like it, but it was pricey then to justify but it’s not SO wonderful to justify $150 price tag. First it was $120, the. 130, 140 and now that’s it’s managed to climb to $150c I’m dying of curiosity- what is going on in that msrketing department? They are either doing so well, they don’t csre, believe what they’re offering is liquid gold and just keep uping the pricing to see what tbey csn get away with or give them a sense of elitism. Or…they aren’t making a great profit and keep upoing the peice to continue production? Which would be bake firing because less people keep buying it. Who knows. More to the point, it’s a very good product, it’s not omg I can’t live without I must keep paying whatever price. Seriously there are othr wonderful luxurious products for better value and a better orice tag. The packaging is the real killer, there’s barely anything in there, and I feel lkke the “magic” pump only forced you to use too much too fast. It’s all bery sneaky.

Outrageously Priced
I bought this with my own money somewhere where I got it far below retail price. I love the cream but the price per oz is outrageous (more than La Mer). If this was cheaper I would replace my years-long go to nighttime moisturizer with this option, but even at half price it'd still be on the high end of the market for face creams. I'm sure the target customer for this product is very niche (aka, rich) but companies are seriously getting away with highway robbery these days.

Overpowering scent
This cream has a nice feel to it. I just could not get over how scented it was to continue using it to judge efficacy.

Must have for mature skin
Great change in my skin. It helped with firming and I noticed a big difference in my neck and the reduction of crepey skin. I noticed a difference relatively quickly. If you don’t notice a difference, you have great skin then and this product might not be for you.

Amazing but too expensive for volume you get
Obsessed with the formulation but it’s such a small amount of product for $140! Please consider increasing the size or lowering the price. I wish you could remove the pump to access more product product

KateCeuticals (For very dry skin)
I am 34 and I have combination skin. I was using DekiKate earlier which is good soothing cream however I wanted to have something more moisturizing to my face at night in winters. I tried this product, First thing it's very thick skin does not absorb it quickly; Second It gave little bumps on my face which were painful and Third It's very expensive for a moisturizer. I have stopped using it. It May be for someone with very dry skin also I am sure there are many good alternatives in lesser price range.

Pass
Like other reviewers have said, this product is heavily fragranced and despite the high price tag, there is nothing spectacular about it. Texture is like any other standard moisturizer (lotiony) and I saw no improvement in my skin after using for 1.5 months. I have combination skin and struggle with texture and dehydration.

great for mornings
[Employee of sephora] first i have to say, the fragrance is so strong. i can definitely smell it hours later when wearing a mask, it kind of smells like fake cherry blossoms (but not in the best way). that being said, it is a pretty decent morning moisturizer because it is smoothing and reduces texture, but that is most likely due to dimethicone being the third ingredient, which will fill in pores and smooth out skin. would probably not recommend for nighttime use or for acne prone skin

Be Wary
This cream clogged my pores, leaving sprays of white heads across my cheeks and forehead—and you can see my other reviews to know that I'm now in my mid-30s with no issues with acne (teen or adult).
I was gifted this in PR, and happy I never spent $120 on this cream. A reviewer below had the same concerns as I did: the great "actives" like HA or Peptides are very low on the ingredient list, where as dimethicone (a silicone) is the 3rd. That's is likely causing my clogged pores.
Similarly, there's a very strong fragrance. To me, it smells like papaya, which is nice! but I really dislike heavy fragrance so close to my eyes and nose.
I can see why this is in the luxury skincare category—the packaging is particularly excellent—but this is not a luxury skincare product, unfortunately. This actually feels a bit like a fashion house's skincare brand, which haven't we all learned by now is more marketing than materials?

VERY strong fragrance, slick texture
I received this product for review, and I was curious to try a product that promised "you’ll see improved skin texture & firmness with diminished fine lines & wrinkles in just one week," since most products take a long time to show their effects (weeks or months). I do see some smoothing, but it's gone when I wash this cream off my face.
Note that it has a VERY strong fragrance that lingers, even after you wash it off. I really hated the fragrance, so much so that I couldn't wear this for more than an hour or two before running to double-wash my face. So I can't speak to the long-term results you might get if you tolerate the smell and texture, only the first couple of hours of wear at morning and night.
I assume the wash-off results are because it's relying on dimethicone as the 3rd ingredient, per their website: "Aqua/Water/Eau, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone..." The hyaluronic acid doesn't show up until halfway down the ingredients list, as Sodium Hyaluronate. I'm guessing the peptide complex would be the various oils they list, also halfway down the ingredients list. In any case, these are in pretty small concentrations based on their positioning.
But what about results? This cream goes on smoothly, but it leaves my face feeling slick like a silicone primer does. It sort of soaks in over several minutes, but not fast enough that I feel like my pillow case is safe. Nor does it really work well with makeup (oddly, since silicone primers usually work for me).
Overall, there are far better products in this price range (and cheaper). This is one of my least favorite I've ever tested, due to the smell and slick texture.
