Accidental scar treatment?
I think this faded 15+ year old scars…?!? It's the only new product I've used, and the only thing that I apply to my neck and upper chest. I've had these 2 small keloid scars forever, and tried a variety of both cheap and expensive topical scar treatments. None worked, although silicon tape seemed t...

Inefficace !!
Je déteste ce produit ! Je précise d'emblée que j'ai la peau grasse faiblement déshydratée. La texture est superbe, le gel est épais mais facile à étirer, il glisse sur la peau sans effort, il n'y a aucun parfum, le tube est hyginéique et protège le produit de l'exposition à la lumière... ...

I have super-oily skin and I struggle with acne - this is by far the best moisturizer I've ever used. It feels very lightweight and keeps my skin fairly oil-free for the entire day. My skin has also become much clearer since I've started using it! I'm super impressed!

First few days, it was great. My skin felt hydrated but not greasy. Unfortunately, I realized it was causing redness & irritation. So disappointed because I really wanted to love it. For some this could be great. Sadly, it wasn't for me.
So lightweight

The texture is like a transparent gel, it's so lightweight, perfect for oily skin and perfect for makeup days. It's somehow light but moisturizing at the sane time
First moisturiser I can use!

I bought this recently and I've always struggled with oily moisturisers being catered to normal or dry skin and I have combination. So I thought I'd try this and it's amazing! It's actually reduced the oil on my T Zone and I don't get any acne which I got from other brand cream moisturisers. Amazing!

We recommend consulting with your doctor/dermatologist, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time, and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.
