It is quite good & I understand the hype. Some women think it's a ploy to spend $$$, but honestly, they're applying it wrong. The key according to CDLM, is to lightly dab your finger into the jar, swirl on the fingertips & then pat onto the skin--not slather on like you would peanut butter & jelly on white bread. A small jar should last anywhere between 8-12 months (depending on your winters) if you follow this procedure.
I've used a small sample jar (lasted a MONTH, 2x/day) & noticed that my skin was incredibly soft & smooth. Skin appeared less blotchy & red & had a certain glow to it. However, I found Perricone's Face Finishing Moisturizer to be just as effective & only $50 for a 2 oz jar. My skin is equally as smooth & radiant & I pay way less than CDLM & can get it through sephora.com (go through ebates & get a 3% rebate).
I'd call NM or SFA & ask them to send you samples of each. Tell them you want to invest in a nice cream & before you buy it, want to make sure you don't have any reactions (breakouts or rash). Try one on one half of your face, & the other on the other half. This way you can see how they compare.
Incidently, I'd be
very careful when buying CDLM through ebay. I've heard of many women receiving fake CDLM & losing their $$$. $13 is too much for a sample when you can get it for free from NM or SFA. I know you might not have access to the store, but PM me & I'll have you call an SA of mine (toll free) who might be able to hook you up w/a bunch of samples.
HTH!
