    This has worked miracles on my skin! After one use, I noticed my acne was much less angry, my skin was smoother, and I had a glow. After weeks of use, my skin is much brighter and I barely break...

    Retinol isn't an exfoliant per se, but its ability to turn over skin cells could be said to have an exfoliating-like effect. And while it may give you peeling and flaking skin, its’ actions are...

    Fantastic product! I use 2 times a week at night time and next morning my skin feels bright and soft. For the price, it is a winner.

    This is a great product and I highly recommend it. It delivers great results just after few uses and after 2 weeks I can see my skin improved a lot.
