What They Say: "Delivering a new level of performance: SUBLIMAGE SÉRUM. Planifolia PFA, the customized precious oil extracted from the powerful botanical fruit at the heart of SUBLIMAGE, is now at twice the concentration of the cream. In addition, 100% of the water contained in the serum is distilled Planifolia Concentrated Water for unprecedented results."

Jen's Experience: As a huge fan of the CHANEL Sublimage cream, I was thrilled to get a chance to try out their serum as well. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test the serum with the cream, which would probably have given extraordinary results, but I was able to see how this serum, when worn under my normal cream, really upped the intensity of the results. My cream applied more evenly and the moisture seemed to last much longer to the touch, but without being tacky like a lot of really thick moisturizers. My skin definitely looks more radiant and healthy.

So how great is it? Well, maybe not $385 worth of fabulous. I rarely let price interfere with my ratings, but for the cost of this cream, I would expect it to give me a foot rub and maybe pick up my dry-cleaning as well. In other words, I would have expected to have a life-changing skin experience. If you have this kind of money to throw around, it's truly a fantastic product (and if you don't have the Sublimage cream, by all means, pick that up first) but for the rest of us, it's probably not worth taking out a new line of credit.
