I am not overly sensitive to fragrance, but the products I tried from this line had an overwhelming fragrance.

Only thing I use from this line is the cleansing balm and love it. Right now am using the rose balm.

I am currently using the pro-collegan marine cream moisturizer and the Revitilize Me shampoo and love them both. Pricey, but good. However, when I finish the jar of moisturizer I'm going back to Kate Somerville moisturizer which I like better. I order from Time to Spa.com by the way.

The cleansing balm is a very nice cleanser and leaves the skin moisturized. I am not impressesd with the Marine Cream because it just doesn't address my dry skin. I have had better luck with other moisturizers that aren't as priced. I am currently using Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizer for $49 and like it better.

I love this line! I use the pro collagan cream and then I bought the TSV last year which contains the peptide oil cream for the evening and the eye cream,, and the fragrance is wonderful. Waiting on my next auto delivery as I'm. all out and you can't change the shipment dates, since it ships through Elemis. I like the cleanser, but use more so in the dry winter months. This is a great skincare line!!

I love Elemis. I have sensitive skin with occasional breakouts and this has really gotten my skin under control. I use Dr. Denese FF pads and retinol products a few times a week, other than that, all is Elemis - day, night, eye moisturisers and serums, oils, cleansers, toners. Also have the Frangipani and the Nourishing shower creams and body balms - the smell of these are opposite and both are wonderful. I have a variety of products that I have bought in kits offered over time and mixing the aromas and the textures is fun. Shelf life is 3 years unopened, but beware, once opened, it's 6 months. I consider that a good thing, but you probably want to open and use accordingly.

I have seen that the most frequent dislike is the smell of some products. On first opening, I have a few times found the aromatic a bit strong, and then I come to really appreciate it. There isn't anything I wouldn't use, even the Rose Balm, which I originally found too strong.

I find all QVCUS product presentations very hard hitting and aggressive. Everything is a superlative. So I don't fault the Elemis rep here in any way; no doubt she is required to sell hard. I discovered this line on QVCUK and I doubt I would have paid any attention at all, if not for the relaxed, funny and informative presentations. They do hands-on facials on-air and I feel the effects watching it on TV! Of course they are still selling, but the focus of this brand is its Spa-like virtues. I don't think I would have purchased this line watching the US presentations.

I do highly recommend. Like Emer said last night, give it the 30 days it takes for your skin to cycle through. The feel and appearance of my skin has changed dramatically, and I never find caring for my skin another chore at the end of the day, I feel pampered and relaxed.

I have sensitive skin and am scent sensitive. I tried this line when it was a try me trio offer. I liked how my skin felt but I had a horrible reaction to the products.

I am a Dr. Denese skincare product fan and now I won't use any other product on my face/neck. I think both lines offer results and are competive in price and value. It just comes down to what works the best for you and fits your budget. I have found that the TSV offers in the super size for beauty are the best deals.

Love Elemis! I've been slowly moving most of my skincare over to this line. Love the apricot toner and marine cream!

I also like the cleansing rose balm a lot but it's not for me in the summer when it's humid (even with AC on it still bothers me in the summer)....it's great though for winter when the air is more drying.

I've tried a few of their eye products and like them too.

I like the cleansing balm occasionally as it is too rich for my combination skin. The night serum plugged my pores. I use when feeling dry in the Winter and have used it to remove eye make up. It may be great for dry skin gals.

I'm using the day and night creams, although, the night cream is very expensive, I got it on easy pay.

I like the feeling and my sensitive skin is doing well.

The cleansing balm was just okay. I didn’t like the other products.

I don't know how I didn't see the TSV last year. I do like Elemis, but have a pretty good supply so I'm not ordering the TSV. I find I "stockpile" too much and then want to try something else and will not waste money by tossing what I already have. I like the way the vendor presents the items. For those that order, I hope you enjoy the products.

I love Elemis! Yes, it has a scent, but I actually really like it. I have dry, sometimes sensitive skin and this set is wonderful for me. I recommend it.

I tried this line when they had it as a TSV one time before. The only product I liked from the line was the eye cream in a tube, the rest of it was too strong and greasy on my skin, it had a heavy floral smell too. I ended up using it on my body, I should have returned it.

I've always wanted to try Elemis, but I'm sensitive to fragrance and that seems to be the biggest negative for those who aren't fans of the line. I wish skincare companies would stop adding perfume to face products. It's not like there's any benefits to it for your skin.

It is true, many of the Elemis products are rather heavily scented. It doesn't bother me but it surely would bother someone sensitive to fragrance.

The scent doesn't bother me, but I am not sensitive to fragrance. I really like their products so far. Love their toners!!!!!!
