What the gurus are saying

Experts split on this one. One praised how seamlessly it blended under makeup and left skin looking polished, though that impression came from a sample. The other found the formula delivers basic hydration at a premium price point, and cautioned that if you're dealing with a specific skin concern, the ingredient list won't address it, you're mostly paying for the Chanel name rather than transformative skincare.

"I got a little sample of their moisturizer, it was like a blue-tinted hydra. I [...] put it on, put my foundation on, and I was like, I am amazing, I am unbelievable. [...] I was so buzzing with myself that it became a routine. Every time I got paid, I would go and get it."

"They call it a velvety face cream with red camellia extract and red camellia oil. [...] But to pay one [...] hundred and ten [...] bucks for this, you're paying for the name. If you actually have a skin condition and you want skincare to care for your skin, not just to slap something that smells nice on your face, this isn't gonna be it. This isn't gonna fix any issues. This isn't going to revolutionize your skin biology based on the ingredients list."
