I happen to love the scent. It is kind of an old fashioned scent; like lipstick, face powder and herbs. The scent is to me light, and very soft and gentle and I look forward to using it. This Extract/lotion is very thin, but very hydrating. It is never greasy or oily and leaves my skin looking healthy and feeling comfortable! I don't think it performs any "magic", but be honest...most skin care does not :) The bottle is large, it lasts a while and it is just a reliable, no frills excellent daily hydrator. I love using it on my neck, chest and backs of hands too. I am very happy Estee Lauder has kept this for so, so many decades. It is common for companies to discontinue "old" formulas, so I applaud Estee Lauder for keeping this. My skin thanks you!

As another reviewer said, there is a scent to it. I really love the way it feels on my face, though.

So I just used this for the first time maybe 30 minutes ago. Imagine taking 2 full sprays of cinnabar and rubbing it all over your face. Thats how strong the smell is. It felt nice and hydrating when I applied it. My face feels tingly and my eyes are still watering. Im very afraid I will wake up broke out. Im trying to give it a chance since I love all of my other estee products.

This stuff really saved my skin. I turned 50, and suddenly all the things I had always put on it started to cause irritation. I decided I needed to stop buying products that promised to change my life, and focus on products that would just keep my skin looking healhy. This does exactly that, and I'm so happy to have found it. I was a bit worried it would make me break out because it has so many natural oils, but 3.4 ounces later, and not a pimple. (And the rosemary fragrance is amazing!)

I have used Swiss Performing Extract for years. I love the aroma. I find this cream to be a great day cream as a makeup primer- moisturizing and laying a smooth sleek foundation for my makeup. I wouldn't be without it even though I use Revitalizing Supreme NIGHT creme as well. These two are my 2 reliable products that I would not be without.. Don't change Swiss Performing although I would prefer a pump of some sort to make it neater to use. THANKS.

Great moisturizer. This one isn't advertised as much or on display in stores like the ANR lines but it is a hidden gem! I have sensitive skin but the fragrance doesn't bother me at all.

I have used Swiss Performing Extract for 55 years and I love it and I'm 80 now

I have used Swiss Performing extract for many years and love it, my only complaint is that I wish they would make a pump for the bottle instead of having to pour it out into my hand.

This emulsion provides rich hydration.

I normally use Revitalizing Supreme moisturizer but thought I would give this a try. My eyes kept watering and I attributed it to seasonal allergies so I discontinued it. I went back to the Revitalizing with no issues. Tonight I tried this again and my eyes started watering again so I guess I just can't tolerate it. Unfortunately I'm too far past the return window and I almost have a full bottle.
