I've been using Elixir's lotion and emulsion for a long time, but as I've gotten older I've started to notice wrinkles and a lack of firmness, so I switched to the Advanced. Apparently, both the "Refreshing" and "Moisturizing" varieties have the same moisturizing power. I like the "Moisturizing" variety, which is a little thicker and easier to spread without spilling, and it feels moisturizing. Since I started using Elixir, my skin hasn't become too dry and rough, and I haven't experienced any tingling or redness, so I feel at ease and will continue to use it.
