    I tried a sample version of this, definitely saw brightening results overnight! Feels very nice and smooth on the skin. Will purchase in full size if I ever become a millionaire :)

    There are much more potent "treatments" in the PC choice line than this one. To me this is much more of an "optical" product because the mica or whatever is in it to create the radiance blurs some...

    This works really well for me. When I wake up I will use a bit of coconut oil on my face and then put some of this on top. I wait a few minutes and then put on my foundation or bb cream. I always...

    This isn't a moisturizer, it's a serum. I really like it. You only need the tiniest bit. If it starts balling up, it's because you're using way to much and didn't give it a long enough time to set....

    I usually adore PC products but this one was just "meh" for me. I received 3 samples of this and used them over the course of a week or so. This has the texture of a silky, light primer and is soft...
