For the first time I actually paid attention and took a few minutes in the skincare section in Trader Joe's and I found this. Normally, I skip that section since it's so small and I find Whole Foods with a better selection of skin care products. The price attracted me in the first price. I think it's around $5 or $6. A lot cheaper than The Body Shop Vitamin C skin care line and less ingredients. I was hoping it smell like Bliss triple oxygen +C energizing cream which smell like orange sorbet to me. This one is a bit heavier and the fragrance is a bit overpowering for me, but it's still a good moisturizer to use for repairing sun damages or as a daily moisturizer. I can't say it reverse anything for me.
Pros:
- Inexpensive moisturizer
- Doesn't clog my pores
- Light-weight and fast absorbing lotion
- Great for daytime or night time
- Contains some organic certified ingredients
- No animal testing or animal by-products.
- Mineral oil, paraben and Cruelty-free
- Does not have SPF
- Not fragrance free
- The fragrance smell is a bit strong. I can smell it throughout the day. It would be better if it was toned down a bit or without the fragrance. You might feel a bit queasy from smelling it.
- Artificially fragrance. Would be better if they use natural essential oils.

soooo......yes, I am crazy for commenting on a product that has not been around for years. but I had one last bottle of this stuff that I found hidden away. It is the ONLY thing I have found that works on the dry area between my eyes and directly above my nose up into my forehead. so freaking annoying! I get dry flaky itchy skin there. its not terribly noticeable most of the time but I notice it and it makes me nuts. What is so surprising is that nothing else seems to work. sigh.......I know this was made for TJ's by a company that sells its own version and I remember reading about it years ago but I can't remember. sigh....anyway, hope you were entertained about a nut job posting on a 6 year old post lol. : )
