Good For Red/Dry Skin
I have flaky dry skin with some redness and sensitivity during the winter months. I've been using this moisturizer for a few weeks and really notice the difference in both moisture and evenness of tone. The product contains Carnation Oil (used to treat stress, inflammation, and Eczema) and milk ac...

good lotion
This is a perfect lotion for the winter months when your skin feels like it needs extra moisture, or if you suffer from severe unevenly dry patches of skin. I am able to use this lotion all over my body as well as on my face, in very small amounts.It doesn't smell bad at all, although it does remind...

This makes my face feel so soft. It is lightweight and glides on smoothly. I use it twice every day.

This moisturizer literally makes my skin feel like velvet. I've tried many many moisturizers because my skin is super picky and it jumps from oily to dry to breaking out all the time. This moisturizer works amazing no matter how my skin is behaving and never makes me break out. The lactic acid is super gentle but effective at making my skin look more even and clear. The only problem is the bottle. They actually do give you a good amount of product but it doesn't feel like it because the bottle makes it hard to squeeze out the right amount. I end up wasting product because of it.
Very Hydrating

I love this moisturizer! It has helped my dehydrated skin!! I use residual on my hands and it has helped my hands. I wish there was a larger size, I would use it as body lotion,
Perfect.

Skin Type Combination
I'm someone that has super sensitive skin, woman of color, and hormonal acne, EVERYTHING breaks me out or just doesn't help. Buying things online can be tricky because there are reviews with people saying how it didn't work or was a waste of money and those that rave. With me already having troubled skin I hate buying something that makes it worse and I always think about those 2-3 star reviews in the back of my mind! However, I'm so glad I purchased. Definitely an item that I will keep buying , works perfectly for me doesn't break me out, all you need is a little bit. I never write reviews but for this I had to take some time out my day for anyone that was in my position, don't count this out! Get it!
Combination Skin? Read This
This moisturizer requires some finesse when applying per your skin type lol I have combo skin with an oily t-zone. I apply this using a VERY small amount (more bang for your buck) starting at my cheeks and working to my forehead and chin. TIP: Massage this into your skin until it's totally absorbed, this greatly helps prevent it from just sitting on top of your skin and making your face appear greasy. Washing your face before apply is recommended. My face feels sooo soft. Silky smooth. The moisturizer is very light when you wear it the right way, and will make you glow
