They named the planet “La Femme” and called it a paradise and refused to leave it. Now Julia 9561 is heading up the mission to retrieve the errant crew and establish meaningful Contact with the inhabitants. Are the inhabitants really all female, as the first crew claimed? Why don't the men want to return to Earth? What happened to the women on the crew? And why did Paul 22423 warn the First Council to send only male crew members? “Chercher La Femme, which unfolds in a strange, complex, alien future, effectively explores several themes: of personal identity and how it holds itself together but is also porous to experience; of communication with alien life forms and how amorphous and challenging that might be; and of the visceral power of alien forms of beauty and art, giving the story compelling depths. The tense stretch between the Pax and the “Outsiders” offers an interesting representation of the real-world tension we now live with, between low-tech societies and those racing to colonize outer (and inner, personal) space in all sorts of ways. “There's some interesting tidal stirring going on at the more cerebral levels of modern SF, which I think began with books like A Voyage to Arcturus and Solaris. It's now manifesting itself in, for example, Jeff Vandermeer's Southern Reach books and in this book, Chercher La Femme, as well as in films like Arrival, They Remain, and of course Annihilation. Human bafflement and consternation characterize these stories in the face of the most alien kind of alien-ness we can imagine at this point, and a necessary softening and yielding of our age-old infatuation with a propulsive, often violent drive to control (or kill) whatever is ineffable and strange to us.” —Suzy McKee Charnas, author of The Vampire Tapestry and the Holdfast ChroniclesShipping Notes

Like but...
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Was nice and light on my skin but did not see much improvement of redness after 6 weeks. No fragrance, did not irratate skin. May try another bottle incase it wasn't enough time to see results. Overall I like the product just not the results at this time.

Not an eye cream, but makes a great eye cream
I use this as any eye cream before applying my prescription tretinoin cream. Its provides a good barrier for my sensitive eye area without feeling heavy. Its large so it is a great value for my money.
It is light weight, not greasy, unscented, and is great for my sensitive skin. I am prone to millia and haven't had any issues since switching to this for eye cream.

Everyday light weight face moisturizer
This is the perfect moisturizer! It is light weight and it doesn’t take but a pea size amount so it last forever! This has my skin feeling so moisture and the consistency can’t beat anything. It has the best ingredients and has no fragrance which is perfect for your skin. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great product, but received older tube
Prequel is one of my favorite skincare brands, I have always loved this particular product and usually order on the brands official website. But I needed a new tube of this quickly so I ordered here on Amazon. I recieved a tube that expires in only 4 months. I’m not sure if they sell old stock through Amazon or what the issue is. I ordered a tube straight from prequel’s website afterwards and the expiration date isn’t until January of next year. Not a huge deal, but still kind of a bummer. I will not be ordering skincare products from Amazon anymore.
