I've recently started a Dior skincare routine which includes: - One Essential Skin Boosting Super Serum (twice daily) - Capture Totale 360 Light-Up Open-Up Replenishing Eye Serum (twice daily, for fine lines around the eyes and the mouth) - One Essential City Defense SPF 50 (beneath makeup) - Capture Totale Dreamskin 1-Minute Mask I'm in my 40s and not to be dramatic, but I don't think my skin has ever looked so lovely. ...I bought it without a doubt since I bought anther One Essential product before. It was no regret. I only used it once a day in the morning (since it is a bit pricey) and my skin is glowing every day.

Not as strong as some of the other scents. It’s a great summer scent. The actual product is a teeny bit sticky after, so I recommend letting it dry down a bit. ...idk why people are hating this is my fav lotion at the moment it gives you such a nice shine but goes into the skin so fast especially nice after a long hot shower this scent is really good I’ve tried out 4 of theirs now lol like I said my fav lotion at the moment haha but it’s a really nice light kinda natural scent it’s not too overwhelming or fake synthetic like literally like I wiped the juice left over from an apricot on my arm absolutely perfect for summer 💗
