    I had read all the hype and decided to give it a try. The hype is for a reason! I've only used it as a primer so far (not a mask). I have dry, aging skin and I start with serum, add moisturizer,...

    It took me awhile to figure out how to use this product, it's hard to get used to gently 'patting' it in to my skin as opposed to my usual rubbing it in vigorously. Once I figured out the...

    The reviews are so mixed on this, so I wasn't sure how I'd like it, but I wanted to try it anyway. I do like it, I use it under my eyes and along my nose. I think it softens the skin and preps for...

    Truly does brighten and tighten. Love this before my foundation and I ALWAYS use this to thin out concealor. This gives an amazing finish to under eye concealor.

    As a primer, it's okay. It works best for me under foundations that I feel are a bit heavy and this takes the edge off of the masky look. Used as a face mask, I LOVE IT! I have dry skin, can get...

    This product is NOT for oily skin types. It did nothing to help with my pore size. It was a layer of grease on my skin. After an hour I looked at my face and it was so gross. Six (6) Clean and...
