Although I absolutely love this product, it is extremely pricey! I cannot see myself repurchasing this as soon as it runs out. Possibly later on when I start to miss it. The texture is perfect,...

This is another product I bought based on so many great reviews. I hated it! It made my skin oily and dull. I also do not like the scent.
