Reviews for Stratus Instant Skin Perfector

By Heather on April 17, 2013

Useless product 1

I bought this product on the strength of the early rave reviews, and I was gobsmacked to discover that the product is 100% useless. I even tried applying to only half my face to see if there would be a visible difference, and there wasn’t. Save your money – the promises of luminosity are greatly exaggerated. I don’t know what the early reviewers were talking about.

Not for me 2

If my face were flawless then I can see how this would give just the perfect glow. However, it enhances my acne even more and feels greasy when layered with cover-up.

Doesn't do a thing for me.... 1

I don’t notice anything different after using this. I was looking for something light to even out my skin tone, which is not really that uneven. This product doesn’t change or improve my complexion whatsoever.

Smooth surface for foundation, nice glow 4

This product gives the skin a nice glow; however, by itself it isn’t quite moisturizing enough for me (at least in the winter). I’m sure it will be much more effective once the humid summer begins. It definitely provides a smooth surface for foundation application and a little goes a very long way.

Skin clogging 1

Found it very skin clogging, even in a small amount. Caused skin eruptions after two days of use. Will not use again

Didn't do much to even out my complexion 2

I have few skin imperfections except for red somewhat blotchy cheeks and was looking for something with light coverage to even things out and give me a natural look. I am looking for a replacement from my non-green tinted moisturizer. However this stick didn’t do much for me, had better success with the Vapour Luminous foundation stick applied as needed over my moisturizer.

Smooths the skin 4

In terms of colour match, the 902 is perfect for my fair skin. I don’t find it moisturizing enough to use without a moisturizer, but it definitely makes my skin feel smooth and is an excellent primer for Vapour foundation. I might have expected a bit more with all the rave reviews, but I would say I am generally happy with the product. I wonder if I might like the liquid version better, as it tends to drag a bit on the skin when applying.

Very nice! 4

I use this as a moisturizer under my Vapour Luminous foundation stick. It glides on nicely and is like a translucent putty, not thick at all or greasy. 903 gives you a very slight yellow tint which is perfect for my medium skin with yellow undertones. It doesn’t cover redness though. But that’s why I bought the foundation. I’d rather not have tons of coverage and let my face breathe and my natural skin radiate through. Not a lot of shine, just a dewy finish. I think this stick will last longer than the liquid.

My acne scars disappear after using this. 5

I use 903 color. I have acne scars to the right & left of my mouth. Stratus Instant Skin Perfector makes them disappear. It’s almost like body putty, but it’s totally invisible! After using Vapour Soft Focus Foundation, I slide this stick over my entire chin area and to the right & left of my mouth. I went from having exaggerated smile lines (caused by my acne scars) to having normal smile lines…becaue this product removes the bad skin effects of my teen years (I’m now 64). I have somewhat pale but sallow skin, and the 903 color doesn’t affect the color of my skin. It blends perfectly with my foundation.

Pretty good 4

This product definitely added some luminosity and dewiness to my complexion but not as much as others I’ve tried. I like the multi-tasking aspect of the product though.
