don't be scared off by reviews citing the smell
PostedJanuary 28, 2009
I too was slightly put of by the scent of this product initially but had heard such great things about its results that I resolved to endure it. over time i grew to enjoy the scent and others probably will as well if they give it a chance. it has a lavender aroma, which is really more unusual in a facial moisturizer than unpleasant. once i used the product enough for the smell to become "normal" to me, i was never bothered by it again and am seeing all of the great results that my friends promised!
