Reviews For Neocutis Journee Firm Revitalizing & Refining Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Very Very Dissapointed
This new version of Journee is very different from the old one. Hard to apply on skin because the consistency is very thick, my skin visibly much drier and much more comedones since I use it. The result is completely different, the old version makes my skin moist, clean and healthy looking skin, very light and glide easily on skin. I am definitely switching to a different product.

Unfortunate reformulation
I have been using Journee for many, many years. It is very unfortunate that Neocutis felt it was necessary to reformulate the product., even though they say they have not changed anything. Journee WAS the perfect tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. It was lightweight, applied smoothly offering just the right amount of tint and was a terrific product. The new formulation is now SUPER thick, barely washes off with water and actually stains fabric. I know it is not the same product anymore as I found some in a travel container and compared the two. SO disappointing. Will be looking for another option for daily use.

Looks just like it was made for my skin!
I got a sample tube of this in a package at my dermatologist's when they had an event. I put it on and I could not believe that it matched my skin perfectly! I wanted to order it right away but was hesitant about the price. They had a great sale and I ordered it and I am so glad that I did. It comes out of the pump in just the exact amount that I need to apply to my face. The coverage is fantastic!

LOVED Neocutis Journee but this is not the same
I worked in a dermatology office for many years, and Neocutis Journee was my favorite recommendation for those who wanted a "once and done" cream to use every morning. I used it myself, for many years. Sadly, this new "FIRM" formulation is so different from the original. It feels awful on my skin, like a thick yellow stain. Please Neocutis, bring back the original formulation!

Sooo disappointed!!
I have used this Journée for many years and am so very disappointed with the new formula! The color is awful for me and stained my sweatshirt and hat; and this formula just sits, sticky-like, on top of my skin. I am grateful that LovelySkin has such a great return policy! Although they made it nice and easy for me, I wish that there was something else, closer to the original formula, that they had to recommend. I don’t know what I’m going to use from this point on.

Zero stars if I could....
I have been a long-time Neocutis customer - I use many of their products and loved the orignial Journee formula. This new formula is HORRIBLE. It's thick, sticky and like other users have commented - the color is orange-y and stains. You have to use a lot of soap to get it off your hands. I have a whole new bottle that I'm gonna just throw away. I'm hugely disappointed and now have to find a new SPF/lightweight daily moisturizer. Bad product development!

Getting used to this new formulation
I’ve been using Journee for many years, and I really liked the old formulation. When I first used this new Journee I was shocked at its orange shade and sticky texture, although I did like its finish. I’ve since tried other tinted moisturizers and like them even less. This month I’ve hit on a kind of solution. I mix a pump of Journee with a drop of lipid serum. It tones down the orange and makes the texture somewhat softer.

Neocutis Journee Firm
Upon receiving the Neocutis Firm I noticed the texture and color are different from Neocutis Journee. The tint was darker, the formula itself thicker, not the silky texture as its predecessor. I was and am disappointed. I found a work around, I have some of the Old Neocutis left and I am able to mix the two, and I am satisfied with the results. I am most likely not going to buy again. The search begins for a replacement. Very sad, I loved old Neocutis..

Sits on skin & is not moisturizing
I tried two bottles because I figured that I got a bad bottle. At almost $200 a bottle that was an expensive mistake. It turns out they changed their formula. The once lightweight perfect moisturizer is heavy and dry. The coloring gets on clothing and ruins it. It's hard to wash from your hands after application. I use a tinted moisturizer in the summer to feel fresh and not to have to wear makeup that might sweat off of me, this stuff is streaky like a foundation. It's unfortunate. I love Neocutis but I am going to have to find a new summer favorite. Any recommendations

NOT A FAN OF THE NEW FORMULA
I took a chance on the new formula even though the reviews were not positive. And the naysayers were right, unfortunately. The new formula is way too thick, and requires a lot more pressure to apply it evenly. I gave someone a hug and got brown stuff all over his shirt----that never happened with the previous version of this product. When this bottle is empty, I will be in the market for a competitor's product. I like the Glow tinted sunscreen, but for everyday I like to have some treatment happening as well. Journee used to be a perfect product, but i guess nothing lasts forever.

Very different
This particular product from Neocutis is very different from their other Journee products. It is much thicker and darker-orange tint, actually. I am so disappointed they stopped the original Journee Revitalizing Day Cream.

New Favorite
I’m in love with this product. It’s an all in one for me in the summer. It’s basically 3 products in one and 4 if you count it as foundation. It gives me the perfect coverage for a no makeup look but still hides the flaws and evens out my complexion. It is a little tacky of an application but does sink into the skin after a bit. I think I’m on my 3rd or 4th bottle and plan to purchase again!

Perfection!
I just LUV the Neocutis Journee Firm Revitalizing cream! The color is a perfect match for my light skintone. You can apply it alone or I mix it in with my foundation and wear it that way. It covers everything perfectly and does not dry out your skin. It works great as a base for your foundation or wear it alone for a hint of color as well as a primer/ cover up. I received my first cream in a gift set and thought a bit expensive but it is so worth it! You must at least give it a try!!

Journee - New Formula Awful
Long-term Journee user. This new formula is awful and awful doesn't do enough justice to how much the formula has changed. The new formula lacks moisture and is drying to the skin. It sits on the skin. I have tried to use Bio Gel to add moisture to the new Journee product, but it barely helps. I am so disappointed in the new product and the lack of information available before purchasing it.

Ruined an excellent product
I cannot believe that anyone thought it would be a good idea to reformulate a perfect product! I cannot even get it off my face with my regular cleanser. I am using face wipes and several of them just to achieve clean skin.

Ruined a great product!
I’ve used this cream everyday for 15 years and it there was nothing better! Since they reformulated this to firm it’s now ruined and feels like a glue like paste on your skin. It also stains your hair and clothes. I had to throw away upon using once. Extremely disappointing.

Awful texture!
Not the same formula as before.... it goes on thick and caky and does not feel good on skin or even feel like a day cream. I loved it for years and now I need to find a replacement. Very sad....
