I use St. Yves products - I wash my face first, blot it dry and then apply the Elastin. I have fair skin and also hate stuff I can feel on my face after I apply it. These products do not irritate in any way and they have never been animal tested. I can't ask for more!
The used to have a product - a mist lotion that sprayed on like a mist, smelled clean and fresh, and SUNK RIGHT INTO my skin. Can't find it anywhere for the past few years - not a big enough market for it I suppose.
