| Well I thought I found the perfect skin care line for myself (Yonka) but it turns out that my skin doesn't take so well essential oils. After trying a few samples, my skin broke out in little red bumps. I still want to use a more natural skin care line so I noticed that L'Occitane is now sold here. I store in my city now sells it too so I went there for a sample of their Radiance Moisturizing cream and finally got one after having the Erno Laszlo line shoved down my throat! I was wondering if anyone had good results with this L'Occitane cream. The price is really reasonable so I was kinda wondering if it was a good quality line. Am I the only person that thinks good skin care should cost more? I think it's really a problem that I have! |

| You might want to try the REN products. They sell them at Sephora now so you can go in and get samples. It's a very clean, natural line. |

| I've used some of L'occitane products and I find they make very nice ones, definitely worth a try. But to avoid any misconception they are far from organic if that's what you're looking for. |

| I just tried my sample today and it is actually really nice! I'll see if it continues to hydrate my skin throughout the day! |

| I actually found this cream not hydrating enough for me. Is the immortelle line any more hydrating than the olive line? |

| Sorry just looking at the L'Occitane website now and noticed the Almond Apple Velvet Concentrate. Is this more suitable for a 25 year olds skin than the Immortalle cream? |

| Well I went out yesterday and bought the Olive Radiance Cream after realizing that it would be more hydrating if I stopped being so stingy with my sample and used a bit more!! I absolutly LOVE it!! It just leaves just a glow on the skin, my boyfriend even noticed a difference in my skin! I can't wait to try the Radiance Mask! Thank you all for your reviews on this cream and line becuse it really isn't one that I would have picked! |

| I know that L'Occitaine is a very reputable company. You can feel good spending the $$ for some of their products. L'Occitaine's products have very strong smells and personally the smells are not to my taste. They are really intense. |

I recently tried the Immortelle Very Precious Eye Serum. I got no results and it irritated my eyes.
I do, however, love their body care products. The honey stuff is divine. |

Well I'm 24...almost 25 so little fine lines are starting to show and for the first time my skin is slightly dry. Most of the time it is normal/combination. My skin is absolutely LOVING this cream!! I can't wait to get the face wash and mask! |

| I'm actually so impressed with this line I may get the L'Occitane Almond Apple Velvet Concentrate for a night cream but I'm not sure if the two creams would compliment each other or if I should just stick with the one cream.Any suggstions? |

Thanks for your reply, jenw! I think this might be a nice day cream for me. I don't know anything about the Apple Concentrate, but I am a firm believer in trying one thing at a time. I would stick to your current routine for a couple more weeks before adding anything new.
Thanks again. I'll definitely try the Olive Radiance Cream and report back. |

Stella McCartney has a natural line...haven't tried personally. You might check makeupalley for reviews.
Ren didn't work for me or my sister...
Have had good luck with the liquid cleanser from puredeming

| I have used L'occitane body care products and really like them, but i haven't tried the skin care. This thread is really making me want to try the Olive Radiance Cream! |

| I'm absolutly LOVING the Olive Radiance cream and am using for day and night.Would it make sense to use the Almond Apple cream at night, where it is more anti-aging, instead or would I not get the full effect of the Olive line? I just wasn't sure if the different lines were meant to use together or individually. |

| I'm currently using the Olive Radiance Face Wash, Toning Water and the Olive Radiance Face cream day and night.....I love it all! I amnew to it though, that's why I was wondering if it would be a good idea to mix the different lines or not. I'm very happy that I found this line, I would recommend it to anyone! |
