Immediate results!
Over the past few years, I've been trying to get rid of the little "blackheads" on my nose. I've tried everything from cleansers, scrub masks, peel masks, blackhead strips, etc. Then I learned they weren't even blackheads, but sebaceous filaments! I found this brand on tiktok (go figure), and I was ...

Great for sensitive-combination skin
Hey thanks to everyone for their reviews, I just used my peeling solution for the first time also. Right after washing off the peel my face felt so soft and smooth I applied the hyaluronic acid to add hydration back to my skin follow up with NMF.

Great skin reset
I love to use this product when my skin is looking dull or when I can tell it's in need of a reset. After my skin looks glowy and feels amazing! One of my holy grail products!
I'm 71 and Love It!
I'm 71 and have decent skin, which I think helps with looking good for my age. I've been doing various laser treatments for over 10 years and while it hasn't been miraculous for wrinkles it's kept my skin from having a rough texture or discolorations. This product is an amazing addition to my routine. I've only used it twice, but both times I've ended up with a glow, with light reflecting naturally due to how incredibly smooth my skin is. This will become a regular part of my routine - I love what it does. Plus, if you're someone who likes instant gratification, this will give you that boost because the results are immediately visible. I know a selfie would really make sense here, but I'm too camera shy to include one - sorry!
Wonderful
This had my acne gone in 2 days i had a large break out my skin looks so good o ise it okve a week
Would buy again
Product works well
Dried my skin.
I got this because I've been working on trying to have nicer skin. I patch tested on my hand it was fine. I put it on my face as directed washed it off and my face felt great... until the next day. I had a lite rash going from cheek to cheek. it was sensive to the touch but not painful, just uncomfortable. Day 2 the area became super dry. I moisturize twice a day and it isn't helping. I am on day 3 and the area is more dry and starting to flake. my face is way worse before I used the product. Really disappointed.
