Time Response Skin Reserve Fluid Daily Face Moisturizer

This is the only serum I use. Light, smooth, preps skin for other treatments well, & plays nice with other brands. Spendy, but lasts 8 months with 2xday use

I've tried a few of the more pricey items in this line and have loved them. I'm not as in love with this one. The other products also have a flowery smell, but they didn't bother my sensitive skin like this one did for some reason. I had a mild stinging/burning with this lotion after washing with my usual cetaphil wash. I'm not sure if it's the perfume was added stronger to this bottle or what, but I can't use it.

I am in my early 40’s and have been trying to really take care of my skin. You need a combo of good clean eating, plenty of rest, exercise and what I am learning is quality skin care products. Amorepacific is a well known luxury skin care brand. I have seen and heard many things about it but had never tried it until now and I can honestly say I wont be going back to my old moisturizer. This moisturizer comes in a pump bottle that is made out of plastic but the packaging itself is luxurious in my opinion and I prefer a plastic bottle as it has less chance of breaking. It is a lightweight white liquidy cream that penetrates the skin almost instantaneously. While it does have a floral fragrance, I quite enjoy it - I do not find it overpowering in any way and it dissipates shortly after application. I use this in the morning and in the evening over the serum. I will say that my skin has never looked better - younger in that it looks plumper and has fresh hydrated look. I also love that I can wear this under my makeup without any issues (many moisturizers alter my makeup) Overall, this is moisturizer is pretty amazing - pricey yes but this may be a case of you get what you pay for.

This is QUITE expensive, but you know what? It feels awesome on skin, and there's been an obvious improvement in the feel and possibly the look after only a few applications. Right out of the box, this looks beautiful. It's crafted to look like a luxury item, and looks great on my countertop. Unlike some of AMOREPACIFIC's items, this actually contains quite a bit in one bottle, so it should last you for awhile - so there's that, at least. It dispenses easily and is much more sanitary than many other lotion applications. The lotion itself is somewhere between a fluid and a traditional lotion texture - very easy to apply, and my skin seems to love it. It doesn't soak in right away, so I'm careful not to touch my face after using it. I've noticed that my skin is a lot softer already. In terms of the scent, it's hard to describe. I like it. I have sensitive skin AND I often get migraines from strong smells, and this doesn't get either reaction from me. I also have the cream from this collection, and the combination of the two - at different times of the day - has left my skin feeling fresh, soft, and cleaner/brighter than ever. Yes, it's expensive. But, also yes, it works well.

I'm giving this a 6 out of 10. First, a little about the brand, if you are unfamiliar with AmorePacific. They are a Korean-brand based conglomerate with several other Korean beauty brands operating under their corporate umbrella (IOPE, Laneige, Mamonde, Etude House, etc.). Anything marketed under the AmorePacific-specific brand tends to lean on the luxury end of the skincare/beauty market. So I'm not surprised at the $180 or $33 per oz price point (at the time of purchase) for an AmorePacific product. But this price point will put the Time Response Skin Reserve Fluid Daily Facial Moisturizer out of the general consumer market. Given the branding and price-point, I would have expected the 5.4oz pump to be made of glass instead of a matte finish firm plastic. However, the look and design of the dispenser cap itself is lovely. And regardless of what the overall bottle is made out of, it will look regal on someone's vanity or bathroom counter. The light-weight lotion is very fluid, smooth, and melts into the skin quickly, leaving behind a flattering dewy sheen. However, it is heavily fragranced and floral. AmorePacific tends to synthetically fragrance their skincare, I've found. Not sure why other than they assume it adds to the user experience of their "luxury" product. So if you are scent-sensitive, this might not be the ideal product for you. Also, I don't think this is suitable for all skin types, especially mature or sensitive skin. I am over 40 with fair (photosensitive), sensitive skin. This is marketed towards my demographic, so I would have assumed it would have been formulated as such. Upon the first application, I immediately had product-reactive sensitivity (reddening, stinging) on the skin along my upper cheeks, near my eyes, and on my neck. I had to wash my face and apply something else to hinder further irritation. This lotion does have an assortment of good ingredients: Camellia Sinensis Leaf (green tea) water, propanediol, squalane, shea butter, ginger root extract, niacinamide. It also contains alcohol. Which, I get sometimes isn't a big deal. But for a high-end product like this, and how it is marketed to those with more mature skin, I would think alcohol would be absent. If you are interested in the actual complete list of ingredients, I've included what was on the packaging in my product images. I really wanted to love this lotion, and while the bottle aesthetics and lotion texture were both nice, I personally can't use it.

I've yet to see any cream no matter what the price that will reduce lines or anything of the sort. This creams no different.. Honestly it doesn't work good for hydration or anything. I can spent $15 to $20 on a cheap moisturizer and get better results than I do with this. The packaging is beautiful but I truly feel like they're selling you a load of overpriced lies. I wouldn't pay $5 for this stuff myself after having tested it for a while.
