I had a tiny sample of this from a dept store trip. At first, I was put off from trying it because it does have a very strong scent. Normally those cause me to break out or have a bad reaction. But I was on a mission cleaning out my makeup cabinet (yes to make room for new things!) and before tossing it, tried it. It was lovely! A serious moisturizer that I thought would be perfect for winter. But when I went into the dept store, I couldn't believe the price!!! This is actually how I found this website in the first place.
So I ordered it from EDS and they sent me (I thought by mistake) the larger size. I emailed them and they said keep it as a gift! Plus they put lovely samples in the box too, which arrived days ahead of when I was expecting it. Very nice! 
The box says "Soin Anti-Fatigue Absolu - Absolute Skin Recovery Care." EDS calls it "Orlane B21 Anti-Fatigue Recovery Care (day & night)" - same thing.
It is a very heavy moisturizer, a bit thick to put on, but I think that is why it is so nourishing. It says use morning and night, in the morning under makeup, but I found this to be a bit difficult as it doesn't instantly sink in. The first day I just skipped foundation... and I was glowing! No less than two people at work asked if I had gotten a facial! That has never happened before. I do like that glowy dewey look (though I do usually like to wear makeup at work), and this does it.
Today is my third day using it and I'm thrilled. My skin often breaks out with a new product, and (fingers double crossed) so far so good. I think if you have oily skin or are sensitive to fragrance, this is not for you. But I love how it makes my skin feel once its soaked in. Velvety. I may only use it at night, because of its richness, lack of sunscreen, and the makeup/waiting factor. Maybe twice a day on the weekends.
Tonight I put it on over my new Avon Deep Crease, just perfect. It doesn't really make any specific claims really, but it is French I don't mind, I'm just very happy with having found a new product that make my skin glow and feel amazingly soft.

update: stopped using on my face as it gave me millia (too thick I suppose). Used up the rest of it on the tops of my hands at night, wish I could have kept using it on my face, but found Murad products worked better without millia |
