Over the years that QVC have sold Elemis I have dipped in and out more out...When Elemis was first sold it made my skin very spotty. The perfume and oils were too much. Now I am decades older its not rich enough. The Essence is just like thick water does nothing for my skin. Body Shop are fab for Essences. Very well priced and they last me at least a year for 160ml bottle. Lasts all day long. Super plumping and ultra hydrating.
