    Tried this product for free at the Chickadvisor ShowCase. Unfortunately my face had been scrubbed clean by the Simple Skin Exfoliating Wipes before I tried it so I'm not sure I saw the desired result. For now I leave the rating as average and won't make a recommendation but once I try it as part of my normal beauty routine I'll post an update.

    The product states that it can be used either on a bare face or applied after makeup... I would not recommend using over makeup. It turns it into a smudged mess. On bare skin the product did give a nice glow but I find my skin feeling oily now.

    Tried this at the #chickadvisorshowcase. I have never heard of this brand before and just found out it is part of Estée Lauder. I love the fact that the product comes in a pump. It keeps the product fresh and does not degrade as fast as product in a jar. The texture is very light. It is easy to put on. I used only one pump and it covers the whole face. It comes in 30ml so I suspect it will last me for a couple of months if I use it day and night. After using, my skin instantly felt moisturizer and it is definitely glowing! #theesteeedit

    I received this Estée Radiance Activator got free at the chick advisor showcase, and I was quite impressed with it. It has a nice texture and light Color, so it makes it easy to spread all over the skin. It contains a light shimmer to it, and definitely makes the skin look radiant. For being so light, it works great as a prep for the skin, prior to make up. It reminds me of the MAC primer, but with a much nicer finish.

    First time trying this product, and it really makes your skin glow. I almost look sparkly! So, a little goes a really long way, and you can tell it's a quality product at once

    So I just took all my makeup off at showcase vancouver and I look like death warmed over. I got to try the Estee Edit Radiance Activator. It feels a bit heavy on my normally oily skin and I'm not sure I'd tolerate this well all day but it does exactly as it says. It's filled in some of my fine lines and added a healthy shimmer to my makeupless face. Would I buy this for $65? Probably not.

    It works well to gie you that glow but not exactly something I would pay the price for. But I have to say it's pretty hydrating and feels a lot like a serum rather than makeup.

    Thanks to the ChickAdvisor Showcase, I was able to try the Radiance Activator. While the marketing says Treat+Prep+Glow, I'm not sure this product gives me the sense of being a treatment. Since it had a hint of tint and shimmer, I would be more inclined to use it as a highlighter or on top of foundation, as opposed to within my morning and night beauty regime. It is counter intuitive to me to be applying a tinted serum at night before going to sleep - would it get all over my pillowcase? However, upon applying to half my face, my friends noticed a definite difference between each side - one was brighter and more dewy.

    Thus radiance activator is an ok product. It has some color to it which I like. Its a little bit oily. I tried it on over top of makeup and it ruined my foundation so I recommend using it as a primer under your makeup.

    The skin looks more radiant after applying the product. However it would defeats the purpose a bit if you aply makeup on top of it. I would recommend it for someone who does not use a lot of foundation to use this product so it gives the skin a natural glow. The product is light weight. The price is towards the higher end for similar product though.
