Awesome awesome product, it's hard to find a product that gets rid of redness and is also not too heavy. This is the only thing I've found that dries as nice as this without the sticky moist...

I used a sample of this like a serum under my usual moisturizer, and it had a very calming effect on my skin. It feels like a good extra souce of moisture in addition to the moisurizer, and it made...

I am not really sure what, if anything, this product does. I use it morning, night, almost daily, and it really doesnt seem to be doing much of anything. Save your money.

Yes, I will buy this over and over. I use it because I am on retinol A. It seems to work really well at calming the skin and helping it not to peel as much. I think it hydrates the skin. All of...

I've used almost the entire bottle now and haven't really noticed much. Maybe it's lightened some of my redness but hard to tell. Hasn't lightened my sun spots at all.
