It can happen literally overnight. Sylvia Hodin went to sleep one December night a seemingly healthy sixty-five-year-old woman and awoke the next day unable to move. At first she thought she had suffered a stroke; Sylvia then realized that she had slept through twelve hours and had awakened with flu-like symptoms, barely able to move.

An R.N. by profession, she recounts the plethora of symptoms she experienced, her diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, and the various remedies she employed to ease the pain and discomfort she was experiencing. While there is no cure for the Yuppie Disease, she hopes that by bringing attention to it, research will continue and one might someday become reality.

New favorite moisture serum
I am blown away by this formula - it goes on silky and absorbs into the skin, giving it a plump, hydrated glow without ANY stickiness or annoying shine. Two pumps after cleansing and toner is just right but you can also go in heavier and use in place of a moisturizer. This truly gives me lasting moisture, which is amazing for a light to mid-weight serum. Wears great with other complexion products and under makeup. The glass bottle is luxe and the pump isn't the least bit messy. Glycerin is all the rage in terms of "hot" ingredients right now - and I have to say after using this, I'm a believer. I've pretty much replaced a classic daily moisturizer with pairing this serum before Strata Lipid Gold (another holy grail) - which works great under my moisturizing Japanese sunscreen (Canmake Mermaid Skin). These steps provide a flawless, juicy base under makeup for my maturing (43-year old) skin. Can't wait to try more products in this line.

Good
Moisturizing and gel like. It pills when used with the Prequel mineral SPF.

LOVE
I love this stuff, doesn't irritate my skin and one pump goes a long way. I like to apply it right out of the shower with some rose hydrosol so my skin can soak it right up. Has a great plumping effect and doesn't irritate sensitive eye or lip areas. The glass bottle is a must for me and the pump is a nice added bonus. Also nice that it is made in the US. No strong scents or any fragrance, lasts me a long time too so the price isn't too bad. I'm new to this brand but am absolutely loving it so far! If Prequel is reading this, PLEASE start using aluminum or glass pump bottles for your face cleansers and offer cheaper refills in packets- I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to pay a bit more for the bottle and then less for a refill. Maybe the cost would even out? I love being able to keep your glass bottles and I hate having to throw out these plastic bottles. Just a thought...

Great product!
Super nice. Does not dry sticky or like “egg whites” on your face. Is very hydrating and comfortable. Great for sensitive skin too.

AM & PM Staple!
If you’re looking for a product that actually hydrates and has a bare bones ingredients list, this is it. I have very sensitive, pale skin that’s been even drier since starting tretinoin, and this serum has been amazing. The first time I used it, I saw a noticeable difference in the fine lines. It hydrates even more when I apply it while my face is still wet, and I don’t have to worry about it reacting with other products in my routine. It has no smell, and two pumps is all I need so the bottle has lasted a few months. Now a staple in my AM and PM routine.
