    I really liked this product for a few months. I felt like it was making my skin tone much more even. Circumstances changed in such a way that I could no longer use it. Backstory: I had been...

    Great for my skin! It's very gentle and my skin feels 10x better after using it. I did not think I would feel such a difference after using it just a few times. So glad I purchased it.

    I did not notice anything significant when using this. It was only occasionally slightly irritating but never caused my skin to peel. Specifically, if I used it too close to the eye area or if I...

    I have been using this product for about 8 months and I like it. It smoothes and brightens my skin. I even think it has slightly smoothed my laugh lines. Unfortunately it has not really faded my...

    Milky lightweight emulsion. Absorbs quickly. Don't be fooled into thinking that this won't pack a punch, it does! I was a little over-enthusiastic when I first used it and the next morning, my skin...

    I had no idea this would be such a milky consistency but no matter, it is unscented and applies easily, no grit, no stickiness, just a a few drops for the entire face is all that is needed. I feel...

    First off don't count on this as your main chemical exfoliator if your skin is used to chemical exfoliation. I have sensitive/rosacea-prone skin and it's still not enough on its own, even with...

    I started out quite liking this product, as it is non-irritating and has a nice milky texture. As time goes by though, I find that it isn't really doing anything. Also my nice milky serum has...
