I have combination skin. I have given this product 4 out of 5 stars for the following reasons.
When applying this product I immediately noticed that it smells very nice and has a thick consistency that you would expect from a high-end face cream designed by a luxury brand like Chanel.
The product did not immediately absorb into my skin and had to be thoroughly massaged into my face which was quite time consuming which would not be ideal if you were in a rush.
After using this product for 2 months. One night after going to bed after having applied this cream I woke up in the morning to discover white residue on my face therefore I think that this cream goes bad quite quickly which is not what you would expect from an expensive luxury cream like this.
This I have been using it roughly 2 and a half months I think that I have noticed that my skin has become firmer, more moisturised and refined.
At £57.00 although it is cheaper than a lot of the other Chanel face creams it is still an expensive cream overall I think it is just worth the price but it could be a bit cheaper for some of the reasons stated above.
