Estée Lauder Idealist Skin Refinisher Reviews

When I first started using this product (many years ago) my skin had enlarged pores especially on and around my nose area. I used it for about 2 weeks and was able to see the difference straight away. I have now been using this for 10 years and wear it night and day under my moisuriser. It has proved to be a very beneficial product and I ...  Read the complete review

Most people love the spring/ summer but for one reason I dread it! I am 35 yrs old , when I was a teen I suffered from acne which left me with scars on both cheeks and really large pores in the cheek area amongst the scarring.There is also an uneven skin tone with some redness around where the scarring is. Normally I have to ...  Read the complete review

This product is amazing. It is pricey (although I can't remember how much I pay for it as I buy a few products at once) but it cannot be rivalled for the silky smooth finish it gives your skin. It comes in a greeny-blue box inside which is the greeny-blue bottle. The product is dispensed by the pump-action top. The only ...  Read the complete review

I Can't live without this wonder product. If you want silky smooth skin then you have found it with this skin refinisher. It's not like any other product I have used. It works like a moisturiser, but with added skin clarifying and smoothing properties. An essential in the morning, and a pick me up at anytime during the ...  Read the complete review

It pains me to admit that I've been building up to this review for a while. I only feel pained because this reminds me of a couple of things: how hopelessly addicted to dooyoo I'm becoming; and how much Estée Lauder Idealist means to me. I've been scared to write about it because I feel I need to do this amazing product justice, and - ...  Read the complete review

I can't believe his incredible this product is!!! I had so many samples and thew them into my drawer until one day i thought to use them. I have so many scars from acne, uneven skin tone and sometimes red spots. The first time i used this prouct was at night and first thing in the morning i was shocked at the difference it ...  Read the complete review

*Introduction* I decided to buy this product after a recommendation from a friend who swears by it. I am 21 and I have combination skin which is prone to redness around the nose, dry patches on my forehead, blackheads on my nose and occasional spots and dry patches on the rest of my face. I bought Estee Lauder Idealist Skin ...  Read the complete review

As a wearer of 44 year old skin my pores are now beginning to show to the extent that foundation now clogs them. I bought this product based on articles I had read in various magazines and how it reduces the pore size. I've been using it for about 6 weeks now, a little does go a long way so I have no qualms there, it feels light and you ...  Read the complete review

(Please note, this review is also in Ciao, under my other name BrightonBelle) If there is one beauty product I cannot do without (apart from Estee Lauder's Day Wear) -it is this. I must admit I am an Estee Lauder junkie, but not without good reason. Since my teens, I have always had 'difficult' skin. Greasy but with ...  Read the complete review

I really must be approaching middle age. Gone are the days when I thought the name Estee Lauder conjured up my Mum and my Gran. Since testing, using and buying Estee Lauder products recently, I have to say I?m a confirmed convert and Estee Lauder enthusiast extraordinaire. ...  Read the complete review

Soft, silky, smells good too! - Advantages: smooth skin, great smell, not greasy - Disadvantages: price

I’ve always had this image in my head of Estee Lauder producing the type of products your Mum would buy. However, after years of rebellion, I’ve now seen the light and realised that maybe Mum does know best after all! After stealing a free sample of the Idealist Skin Refinisher from my friend’s glamour magazine ...  Read the complete review

I can't remember how I first came across this product, but I'm thrilled I did. If you were blessed with problem-free skin, you can only look better by using this product. I however have oily skin, by noon my face could fry chicken with the accumilation of grease. Idealist istantly gives a softness to the skin, much like ...  Read the complete review

I got little free bottles of Idealist, and used it under my moisturizer for a while. It smells wonderful, like light citrus, and is a thick white liquid. It makes my face feel much smoother, like soft baby skin. One review said that this was due to Idealist's amazing exfoliating properties. This isn't true. Any ...  Read the complete review

With the Christmas party season coming up, no one wants skin rougher than a badger's bum. Cue Idealist from Estee Lauder, it really does what it says on the tin. (or bottle, rather) Lauder sub-brand Idealist as a "facial skin refinisher" - it's job is to soften fine lines, erase flakiness/red patches, ...  Read the complete review

Within seconds of the first application and as I was putting on my moisturizer over the Idealist application, my dead skin cells started flaking off! Very gross, but under all that accumulated dead skin was a beautifully smooth, silky face! Of course, after using it more regularly, I don't have such a dramatic exfoliation as I did ...  Read the complete review

I'm not normally one for expensive skin products. I've always found that soap and water and a bit of cheap Superdrug moisturiser is enough to keep my skin reasonably soft, clean and blemish free. But I'm not getting any younger, and I've recently started noticing the beginnings of a few wrinkes and some dryness in my ...  Read the complete review

I purchased Idealist 6 month ago, and I used it for about 3 months. My skin is combination, but I need a good moisturiser in order to feel it confortable. I expected Idealist to be a good anti-ageing treatment, to help diminish the pores and fight the fine lines under my eyes at the same time. After the first application, my ...  Read the complete review

The experts at Estee Lauder have come up with this refinishing product, which claims to not only exfoliate, but also even out the skin tone, refine pores, minimise flakiness, redness and fine lines for all skin types -- sounds like a magic potion. This product is also aggressively marketed (via an airbrushed Liz Hurley and a catchy ...  Read the complete review

Going on name alone I wouldn't have bought this product, however I received a trial size of this in a 'goody bag' and have been a devotee ever since. If like me you think 'refinisher' is a fancy name conjured up by Estee Lauder's marketing Department then you?d be wrong -and here comes the science bit - ...  Read the complete review
