Changed a good thing 😕
New formula alert! The old formula worked wonders for over a decade. I thought I was replenishing once I ran out but was tricked. This is a new formula and does nothing for my skin. The glow is no longer apparent. My skin does not feel smooth and acne returned immediately. Why change a good thing?

Pretty good, treatment fits the title
