AMOREPACIFICTime Response Skin Reserve Fluid Daily Face Moisturizer

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.

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.

First off, let me say that I’m a huge fan of Amore Pacific. They make some of my favorite skincare items, and that’s saying a lot since I’m a skin care junkie! They make some truest amazing products. So I was really excited to give this Amore Pacific Time Response skin reserve fluid a go!Unfortunately I’m just not a fan of it. I have combination, but more dry in a lot of spots skin. So I love a good moisturizing skin care item. But this stuff is kind of weird. It’s a fluid, so it’s more liquid like than most moisturizers and a yellowish color, but it’s really heavy and greasy feeling. I’m just not down with the greasy feeling of my skin after I use it. I felt like even after 30 minutes it had hardly sunk into my skin and was just sitting on top of it still. Usually I don’t have problems with heavier moisturizers, but I just don’t like it when they feel greasy and in turn make my face greasy all day. But skin care is one of those things that one person can love, and other absolutely hate. So even though I’m not a fan of it, and it didn’t work for me, you might end up loving it.

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.
