    I like the texture very much but this is not enough. Especially when it costs like 100$ it has to do something to my skin. I have very dry skin and when I woke up after applying this, my skin was...

    I really love this serum from EL! It has a nice finish that makes the skin feel smooth. It does fill in pores, it has silicone in it. This is a great makeup primer as well.The scent is pleasant but...

    I've been using Idealist on and off for the last several years. It's a very silicone-heavy product (the first 3 ingredients after 'water' are ALL silicones) and if I were to use this daily it would...

    Not gonna lie, this is the shit. I have large pores on my nose so i'm always struggling to cover them in a way that doesn't totally clog them. This was the trick. Any primer or foundation with clog...

    I have used this over 16 years. I initially reached out for a serum which would help shrink my pores and it worked wonderfully then. But as the years went by the serum seem to have lost its touch....

    It is a lovely serum that doubles as a primer too. It has a silky-matte finish that has some oil controlling function too. The formula is silicone-in-water emulsion and contains two silicone oils...

    Idealist is a great product. It's sort of a hybrid between a makeup primer and a serum. I like it because it's not silicone heavy, but it leaves a smooth finish. (Excessive silicones makes me break...
