A little while ago I received a sample of the "light" lotion in gel by Lancome. It was absolutely fantastic. Moisturizing and light and made my skin look amazing. Sephora (in Canada anyway) does not carry the "light" version so I decided to try this. It was awful. It dried out my skin immediately. It was so bad it actually made my skin look scaly. The difference between the 2 products is huge. The only reason I gave it more than 1 star was because it is a good sized product.
