I initially didn't like this product but now I love it. I think the reason I had problems with it is because of its texture. As mentioned previously, it is quite thick and not like a typical serum. Wh...Read more

I got a sample of this serum, I believe from Sephora. I did not experience the burning that other reviewers did so it's possible the formula has been changed. However, I could not stand the smell--l...Read more
