I found this cream almost solid and very hard to apply without pulling on my face - has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I had the same experience with my last jar. The two previous jars were creamy and easy to apply. I am letting them know of this and hope to get a favorable response.

I use this cream and have always found it creamy with natural ingredients. What you are describing sounds more like a wax?! It does not seem like the same cream.

that seems odd as the product i received was creamy and very easy to apply. could yours be beyond it's shelf life and are you using it at room temp?

Call the company. This cream has always been thick and creamy, applies to face nicely. Never been hard or inconsistant

I use this cream and have always found it creamy. Maybe yours was out dated.

No, the product I received is definately a cream so I would venture to guess yours should be returned. The cream I received is a thicker cream but I can say it does not do what the product claims and it is difficult to apply as it takes a lot of rubbing for the cream to absorb into the skin.

It honestly is one of my most favorite creams on the market -- and I've tried quite a few. Results? I don't know. People say my complexion looks nice and have asked what cream I use. It is expensive, therefore, I purchase it rarely anymore.

I thought this product was working in the beginning. Probably I was just excited because it was new. I'm not so sure now. I don't know if I'm going to reorder or not. I'm sure it's not hurting but I honestly think there is no cream that truly firms skin. As a matter of fact I am SURE no creams firm skin. I did research on it and surgery is the only thing to pull up the skin. Personally I think the best thing to concentrate on is exfoliation. I use retinol and that has made a difference in my skin. It does not tighten the skin but makes it look a lot healthier and it builds collagen so it doesn't look weak and thin. Also I use sunscreen religiously. Anyone thinking about using retinol should be prepared to go through a lot of trial and error with it. It took me almost a year to be able to use it nightly. I'm so glad I didn't give up. I think that made the biggest improvement in my skin. I use skinceuticals 0.5. That's only the half strength formula I might try moving on to the full strength.

I did not have any problems with the product. I have very sensitive skin and have not had any problems! I can't recommend this enough. They just want to sell you the product at the astronomical price!

This is a cream that is used to somewhat "soften" and use as a skin base for your foundation. There is a video online showing you how to apply it. I have had mine for several months. A little goes a LONG way if used properly. I think that watching the video would help you a lot.

The tube I got was full of liquid but I just shook it (for about a minute) until it hardened; it started coming out as a thick cream. I left it out for two days to see if it would go back to being liquid but that hasn't happened...yet. Though I don't know if it's a bad batch like C.Ho said since I haven't experienced any sunburn. I'm dark skinned so that might be why.

I had a reaction to this cream.every time I used it.I had like swollen blisters that looked like I was stung by a bee underneath my eye.I guess it didnt just go well for me.

no, I didn't have any problem, I love it. I am on my second bottle right now. I hope I answered your questions. You might want to scrub your face before using this item.

I would say it it. It was a bit harder to get the gel & fiber mascara off than regular mascara. But when I intially put my face in the water they didn't come off. It takes some wiping and a lil scrubbing.

I think it is NOT normal. Did you clean and dry your face before applying the product?

I usually notice that in older cream. It can cause light spots and almost look like bubbles.

This happens to me also,, only with the night cream. I don't know why it happens,, but I like it so much I don't mind. My face really does feel so soft in the morning when I wash my face. I love this stuff!!

I had the same reaction. I actually peeled and got red in a way that I knew something was wrong.I washed it all off..and have moved on to use Paula's choice products..one of them being a daily use bha. I think the formulation for perfect Image becomes more acidic in time. I think it has a short life span. I did not get a full year with it. The one interesting thing...is that it seems to occur after a long break from using it.

There is also the possibility that you applied it a bit too firmly to the tender skin; that can make your eyes temporarily puffy. The product seems harmless enough, but perhaps, as C. Keeney suggested, you have an allergy. I would give it and any other eye cream a rest until the eyes are back to normal; then apply it very lightly and see if the result is the same; if so, toss it out.

Me too. I had so much trouble to get it out. Finally twisted it hard and it came out and onto my face. So annoying.
