Yes, they renamed the "Total Night Care", but if the formula is the same, the stuff is AWESOME.

Ok the sample junkie has managed to score a sample of the Radiance Serum. I've decided to hold off on trying it for a few weeks ( I have a sample of Super Serum I'm using right now). This is a line that seems promising for me as not many of their products, if any at all, have stearic acid in them--an ingredient I cannot tolerate. I do love ISC though.  |

Hi
Well done on getting a sample, only thing is it takes weeks before you see a difference but at least you can test it out on your skin first. |

ARGH  Why do I read these posts? why? why?
Sounds a treat. I am going to have to try this line later this year when Sephora has their 20% off sale 
So, what else is good in the line?
The "total night cream".. was that the "night infusion cream"? |
I KNOW!!!! I can't take it any more!!!! I'm going to be getting this serum...probably in my next EDS order...
Tigertim...Sephora has a sale??? When??? Do they have it on their website or do we have to go to the States??? And do you get Sephora anywhere else? Got some sort of idea they have one in Paris????
Somebody cut my creditcard P p please! :  |

Ruth- that's so funny.
I would love to know if Sephora Canada ever have a sale. Most of the time, the sales only for the US.  |

Ruth, for the last two years, someone has posted on the Lounge Board when the Sephora "Family and Friends" sale starts. The shop shows no sale, but the code is for 20% discount on EVERYTHING.
The first year I missed it, but last year spent about $300 after discount! It is usually in November or December (but I believe no Canada shipping on the special offer - but you could always use ship the states) |

I guess that means they don't ship to Europe?? |

Nope,they dont and the worst thing is that at Sephora you cannot even use your international credit card and have it sent to a friend in the US to forward on.
So even if you use shop the states you have to get them to do the order and stuff for you (costs a bit more).
lucky for me I hae a friend who does it for me (we "trade" purchases ) |

I won't be able to hold out that long anyways November is FAR off, and if it were up to me November would be years away into the distant future...we're having a cold spring/summer in Denmark this year... 
but do let us know what you get at the sale this year, so I can be reminded that I'm missing out on great deals... am such a sucker for for pain...lol |

ha ha Ruth. I have a gift registery and every time I find a new thing I want to try, I add it to the registery and then come sale time it is easy for my friend to shop my list. He just accesses the registery and transfers everything to the basket.
Some of the things are to stock up on our favorites, some are things I would like to try (especially when deeply discounted ) and others are "maybes" (heard good stuff but not sure yet).
So far on my list:
Jonathan Product Dirt Texturizing Paste
Juvena Juvedical Renewing Serum
Juvena Juvedical Renewing Eye Serum
Guerlain Vetiver - 3.4 oz Eau de Toilette Spray
Cellex-C Eye Contour Gel - 15 ml
Laura Mercier Multi-Vitamin Serum
Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum
Caudalie Night Infusion Cream
GoSMILE Elixir Good-For-You Breath Freshener - 0.25 oz Refillable Atomizer
GoSMILE Elixir Good-For-You Breath Freshener - 0.25 oz Citrus Mint Refill
GoSMILE Tooth Whitening Maintenance On The Go Refill
GoSMILE ADVANCED Formula B1 Tooth Whitening On The Go
Caudalie Fleur de Vigne Fresh Energizing Fragrance
Guerlain Divinora Protective Base For The Eyelids
Guerlain Issima Midnight Secret
Guerlain Vetiver Sport - 2.5 oz Eau de Toilette Spray
Korres Yoghurt Cooling Gel
Korres Orange Hydrating Face Water
Bare Escentuals RareMinerals™ Skin Revival
Um, that is about $1000 worth of stuff, so obviously it is going to be slashed down A LOT (I try to go for max. $400 before discount). |

Well, yea, you know... gotta do the first treatment and then since they are on sale will need the maintenance.. and the new breath spray sounds lovely so want the pretty case and then since it has to last a year will need a refill.. oh how the mind works.... |

Tigertim... I hear you
I'm going to be searching high and low for samples of caudalie stuff, especially the radiance serum when I go to Cambridge, for Midsummer (=heathen scandinavian tradition). I've checked it out and they sell caudalie in London....
Has anyone apart from Sarah actually tried the radiance serum? Coz as good as I am trying and planning to be I'm really itching to put the serum in my shopping cart, press send and hope for the best... Just feeling a bit broke...
And does anyone in London know where they'd be happy to hand out samples without a grumble??(don't like when they grumble)... |

Try Space NK. They stock Caudalie. Or the big department stores might be a good bet.
Sorry, don't know if they'll grumble, though! (I hate that, too.) |

thanx majorb...I'll keep that in mind...
I've just caved in and bought more stuff from EDS ...managed to delete the radiance serum  and ask for a sample, so am thinking that I'm quite good and that the bill could have been much more and what am I going to do about this adiction when/if I ever have kids...coz I can't afford both!!!! when it comes to the crunch...will I have to choose between kids and beauty fluids????  |

I finally used up my sample of the Radiance Serum and I "think" it gave me a few blackheads. I'm not sure because I also was trying their Gentle Foaming Cleanser (which is very nice btw.) and I sampled ISC ProHeal for a few days. One of the three products gave me addtional blackheads, just not sure which one.  It is a very lovely serum though. I'm just not convinced that it can actually fade hyperpigmentation (honeysuckle can do this?)
I'm gonna try and get another sample from Bath and Body in the next few weeks. This time I won't try any other products along with it.

| I bought the radiance serum to try and fade my summer tan and freckles and have been using it consistently in the mornings for the past 3 months or so under my LRP sunscreen. It smells lovely and is a wonderful moisturiser that didn't break me out. However, I'm afraid that it hasn't done much to lighten my freckles or my tan - at least, nothing that I think is over and above the effects of wearing sunscreen daily and plain old sun avoidance. Which is a real shame, cause it got some rave reviews here and it cost a bomb - I was really hoping that it would work |

| I have almost used up a bottle of this serum in the hope of getting rid of my sun spots / acne scars. I hate to report that it is doing very little for me ! It has got a very nice texture though, makes my skin very smooth. I lost patience recently and have tried the Illuminating Brightener (think this is the name) Serum from Laura Mercier. MY SPOTS ARE FADING !!! I have read also from this forum (THANKS, EDS) some members are drinking lemon+warm water first thing in the morning and have followed the same routine for almost a month now. I also make sure I put on sunscreen every time I go out. I AM SO GLAD I AM SEEING IMPROVEMENT ON MY SKIN EVERYDAY ! |

I've started using this product for a week now; it says dark spots will start to reduce in 2 months, so i'm awaiting for that result. As for now, I'm very happy with it because it does make my skin glow, complexion looks even, it feels like it's quenched the thirst. I'll post results again after another few weeks of using this.
So far, I'm very happily satisfied.

Hi Glee,
Please do keep us posted. I've been eyeing this serum for sometime now and keep going back and forth as to whether or not I'll buy it. I'll be curious to know if it helps get rid of your spots.
Thanks! |
