Congrats!

I'm not finding a difference in the neck cream......but, my neck really isn't an issue so much as my dark spots.

I wish I could say the same as you s my dark spots are still very visible. I don't remember when I started. I will continue to use it until it's done then maybe switch to Nuetragena, another product recommended here.

That's what I do Ida - no foundation, just concealer and I use a mineral powder. I am going to check that cream out. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks ida Sounds intriguing .

Just purchased the Son & Park cream! Here's hoping! ;)

Ida, is the Son and Park like a tinted BB? I've been using L'Oreal BB for a few years, and since I never liked foundation I've been very happy with it.

I finally picked up the two Gold Bond products yesterday so have applied the neck one twice. I'll see how it goes!

Son and Park ordered. Thank you, Ida.

It looks like it's a Sephora product which is near me so I'm going over to that mall tomorrow so will check this out. Hope they carry it.

@jojoco - does the Gold Bond have any scent? or is it fragrance free?

It's actually not a Sephora product, but you can buy it there. It's a Korean product - see more at the link below. It's not tinted. I also want to try the Beauty Water (toner), as it's received excellent reviews, and I have not used a toner in many years. I figure it could only help at this point. ;-)

To those who have ordered, I hope you love it as much as I do! Keep in mind that a little goes a long way. Also, you might not want to use any other moisturizer with this product, to avoid the risk of looking like you made out with a greasy pork chop. It is moisturizing on its own.

Also - the concealer that bro's GF recommended I try is NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. It has seriously upped my confidence; it works so well for me.

Jen, your brother's GF is spot on. When I discovered Too Faced Primed and Poreless Pressed Powder a few years ago (same as the cream glow but in a powder form) I stopped using foundation. It goes on white and blends in perfectly.

When I want to look a bit dolled up, I put on a tinted moisturizer under the powder, then use NARS blush.

Last week my SIL was trying to find a new foundation and I kept telling her about the powder (over the phone) and she couldn't quite grasp the concept and went with foundation. lol

The powder is good in the summer, I hate any type of cream on my face because of the heat.

ok so now there will be a mad run on Son and Park! I am a little bit dense here, so can you clarify for me how you use it? Will I just put it on like moisturizer so to speak and not need anything like powder after?

Currently that is pretty much my routine. I find foundation is just too much but I also don't look very "finished".

I ordered it too!

I just ordered the cream glow and the water; had the Nars in my cart but that should prob be selected in person and heck Sephora is <10min from me, but the other two added up to free shipping.

I've been using Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer for day, still like Chanel for evening except in summer. IMHO, TM is foundation, but foundation is a dirty word now. BTW love Neutrogena primer, works very well.

Ida deserves a cut.

so are you using the filter creme in place of foundation/powder or pre?

great to hear the feedback. I have been debating buying the goldbond.

Also interested in hearing about the coverup and no foundation. I had been using no foundation and just powder but it didnt look great. i also tried the IT bye bye redness but it didnt look great with just powder and I think I had to use too much to powder when I used just powder to cover up my rosecea :(

I think it is a lesser of two evils. my blush and powder go on so much more smoothly when I have on foundation. I look a bit made up, but i think it is better then looking like a tired old hag with rosecea :) I have been thinking of going for a make up lesson.

Yes, I use the filter cream as my only daytime moisturizer and in place of foundation. I apply it after I put on my concealer. And I never use powder. It really accentuates every fine line and glaring wrinkle.

What I like about this new routine is that I look "finished" without looking made-up. The look of flawless, airbrushed perfection is one I think women need to stop chasing. The products needed to achieve it almost always end up looking like a mask.

The GB neck cream unfortunately gave me a an itchy, chemical burn feeling rash after using twice a day for five days. I'm not normally sensitive so I'm curious what my skin wasn't happy about. :(

Coolness to know that you use it as your only - IdaClaire-- you know their inventory management team is scratching their heads wondering why so much is flying off the shelves! I agree with mtn=== they ought to be thanking IC bigtime!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving All!

I ordered too! Thanks for the Soko glam link, 30% off, yay!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ida, do you use a separate sunscreen?

I have to tell you all that I really enjoy reading these make-up posts. In my imagination, you are all so glamorous!

Terriks, most days I don't wear sunscreen. I'm out of the house before sunrise and home just after it sets, and inside all day. Probably turning into a vampire as we speak ... on days that I do spend any time outdoors, however, I do apply sunscreen and use the filter on top if I want to look more finished. Most of the time when sunscreen is called for, I don't bother too much with my appearance.

Okay Ms. Jen, I ordered it! I watched some videos and read reviews so I'm glad you said to use very little of it so we don't look like a ghost. :)

I love products like this, along with my Too Faced powder, not to be confused with regular powder, because it also goes on white, for errands, visits with friends, etc. For a more made-up look I'll still use a tinted moisturizer which isn't oily.

I'm bad, I never use sunscreen, but I also don't hang out in the sun anymore unless it's right when the sun comes up.

I wish they'd stop using the word Primer for these products because it makes women feel they must use foundation when it's not necessary. I stopped using foundation years ago when I discovered the tinted moisturizers.

Mtn., try using Witch Hazel the next time you need "water." I love it! It also has many other medical uses for the skin. My friend gets a cold sore every few months and she put witch hazel on one, and it was gone in an HOUR. It's great for toning too, no alcohol.

My Gold Bond just arrived today - couldn't find it in stores here for some reason. I don't notice any scent.

I switched to the Nars concealer on the advice of my teenagers about a year ago and have been really happy with it. It doesn't accentuate wrinkles at all.

Tried a sample pack of Strivectin and was disappointed not to see any difference.

The Son and Park cream glow wasn't magical for me...it's going back. My skin needs more help than that! I didn't notice any real effect beyond a typical moisturizer. I need more of a concealer type foundation for my spotty skin. I do like my Lancome Skin Feels Good foundation, but was thinking the S&P cream might be a replacement for my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (which I wear on my "no real makeup" days).

Thanks, lyban. That's interesting. Sometimes when products aren't sold here, I can't even order them thru amazon, but this wasn't a problem. It wasn't super cheap, but less than other products I've tried. I've used it for a few days, but still too early to tell results. My DH was scoffing at the "97% results" on the packaging and made me try to explain what that even means (I couldn't). I've spent more on skin creams since I've turned 50 than I spent in the entire previous 50 years.
