I just bought this recently and got it in today. How many of you have bought it and used it? How do you like it? Is it a keeper?

I just looked back on the MAC website and its now out of stock. I am wondering if its that popular.

Just got this myself and to tell the truth, I'm not really sure how to use it or what to expect. Would appreciate advice. Thanks!

lol We are in the same boat then! Cause neither do I. haha

But the back of the box does say to "pour a small amount to the palm of the hand or soak a cotton pad, then gently apply or wipe over the face...day or night"

hmmmm :\

Edit: I just tested it on my hand because I have makeup on my face right now and a little goes a long way with this. I just put a tiny dot and massaged it and my skin turned really soft and smooth. Kinda like what a face primer does. Pretty cool.

I've been using the whole Lightful line since it came out last year. I like it.

The Softening Lotion is really just a toner. But it's a very nice toner! It won't help that much with skin discolouration, but it does make your skin feel nice. That's because of all the anti-oxidants and soothing ingredients it has in it.

I thought that it might be a toner. Then I thought, no, it can't be because it doesn't make my face burn like Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 does.

So, Meryl, do you use all the other Lightful products? What seems to work the best? And in what order do you use them---like toner before moisturizer before essence before primer?

GAH, too many products!

BTW, did anyone else notice that the Lightful Daily Moisture---the lotion, not the cream---is not listed with the other products in the collection? I didn't even know about it until I saw it with the other moisturizers. Right now my skin is pretty dry so I'm using the high-octane moisturizers (MoistureLush and eventually Lightful) but this summer, I probably won't need something quite so heavy.

Glad to hear that someone has had good results from this line. I've never gone ahead and just ordered everything in a collection but this line seems to be exactly what I've been wanting to even out my middle-aged skin. Thanks much!

^^ The Softening Lotion doesn't sting your face because there is no alcohol in it. Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 has alcohol in it and that is very irritating. I love Clinique, but I won't go near their Clarifying Lotions.

I like the Lightful Daily Moisturizer. It's nice for my skin but it may be too emollient for oily skin.

I just got back from my CCO (Carlsbad, CA) and they carry the Lightful Daily Moisture lotion for cheap! I might get it next time.
