Lacome Generally puts out a good product. I jus started using this Absolue Prescious Cell Cream. For a beautiful golden colour 50 ml jar costing a hefty $180. The colour is a silky taupe cream. It feels thick, but goes on smoothly and goes along way. It smells like cream. It does hydrate my skin, but it also makes my face red. My face does feel smooth after applying the cream. Although, the hydration doesn't seam to stay throughout the day. I have had to apply again part way through the day, which isn't ideal. I seem to become dryer around my mouth and chin. So, that being said, I am not particularly happy with the results. I would not recommend it any one else.
