   I have used this product for many years after it was launched in 1993 and relaunched as Frution Extra in 1996 until Idealist came in 2001 and overtook Frution’s place. Frution Extra was discontinued around 2007 worldwide.
   It was a serum with 1.41% Fruit Acids, that is considered to be mild and very slightly exfoliating allowing more hydration from other serums and treatment products. Frution Extra contained salicylic acid (and in the 1996 edition it also had the EL patented Cystamine Bis Lactamide, that was proven to have an even greater exfoliating effect yet being very mild). Frution had an even milder form of fruit acids.)

   I think it did a great job however it did lack the elegance of Idealist (containing a silicone elastomer that blurs the skin).

   Frution Extra did contain some excellent anti-oxidants and barrier reinforcing actives too.

   A very good moisturiser – I could actually feel it nourish my skin! It did make a difference to my skin and it did not break me out or leave an oily residue, it sinks well 🙂

   The only downside is the price – too expensive for daily use

   I love this product! I never experienced dry skin until I experienced east coast winters, but when I did, I discovered Fruition Extra. I originally tried Idealist–a sample that I received in a Gift with Purchase. When the sample ran out, I went to the Estee Lauder counter and the rep told me to try Fruition Extra as a moisturizer. I had always associated it as an “older ladies” product. She gave me a sample, which I tried for a week. I was hooked! It sank right into my skin, and moisturized my chapped winter skin instantly without feeling greasy. Moreover, it really improved the texture of my skin right away. It felt overall smoother. My pores seemed finer. It is expensive for a moisturizer though. And the blue bottle that it comes in absolutely beautiful, although not the most convenient for dispensing the product. When it’s nearing empty, I store it upside down to make sure I get the last of it out.

   I don’t know where all the bad reviews are coming from. Seriously. I love this stuff. I found it in a drawer of makeup/products my mother buys but never uses a few days ago. It’s really small, being only a sample, and the bottle is kind of annoying because it was supposed to be poured out, but the consistency is very thick and creamy so it doesn’t come out easily. Last night, I decided to try it. I applied it under my moisturizer as instructed. Unlike others, I actually like the scent! It smells comforting to me, like old-but-clean linen. Then I went to bed.

   I woke up this morning, and wow! Last night I’d had a few dying zits and red cheeks. This morning, those zits were gone, along with a few scars, and my cheeks were a lot more even, more pink instead of red. My skin was a lot smoother and my pores were tighter- after one use!!!! I will continue to use this until the sample runs out, and then go get the actual bottle. Yay! 🙂

   I love this stuff but hate the packaging!!! That bottle is so annoying bc I really feel like a lot of this fairly pricey product gets stuck in there at the end and I can’t get it out. Anyway, I appear to be one of the odd people who really like this product! For me, my skin is way less oily, my pores look smaller, fine lines are less noticable and my skin is less flaky. However, the price is definitely a major drawback, but this is the only product I’ve used that does all that without being ridiculously silicone laden (something that gives me major cystic breakouts).

   I LOVE This stuff! I cant really use any moisturizers on my face. Even the lightest ones break me out – this Stuff delivers just enough moisture that i need without breaking me out. The downside is the price tag – its expensive… but money should be NO object when it comes to skin care. Your face is very important. Will DEFINATELY repurchase this again, and again….

   This is a very nice moisturizer for people with combination/oily skin. It leaves my extremely oily skin looking matte and smelling nice (fruity scent).

    The new version of this product is Idealist. It works better.
