What is this sorcery?
I was hopeful about this after reading the reviews, so when I went on sale during Ulta's 21 days of Beauty, I snagged one. I am absolutely amazed at the results.

Thought this would be good
I really wanted to like this product. I got a sample of it and was able to use it for some time. I believe this is what has caused some breakouts. Theyre not cystic, but more white heads have come up in my t zone. I have oily skin, but my skin is used to stronger products. Not a fan.

What is this sorcery?
I was hopeful about this after reading the reviews, so when I went on sale during Ulta's 21 days of Beauty, I snagged one. I am absolutely amazed at the results. I'm only about a week in and I can already see changes in my skin. I don't think Ive ever seen a product deliver results this quickly. For reference, I'm in my mid 40s, I'm just starting to see some fine lines under my eyes, but there is this small patch of rough skin below each eye that drives me crazy. Nothing else has even touched it. No matter the other improvements I've seen from other products, these 2 little patches remain. Until now... While after just a week they're not completely gone, for the first time since noticing them, they're significantly smoother. I can wait to see what continued use brings. The bottle is huge so I anticipate it lasting a long time, though I will repurchase even at full price when it's gone. I started off swiping it on with a cotton pad, but I feel like putting it on with my fingers is more effective. It's one of the few products that leaves my skin feeling soft, but not greasy. It works under makup really well. It manages to completely absorb, so no pilling. I've been using it morning & night, and on days I dont wear makeup, dabbing it on throughout the day on those spots.

I can't stress enough how much my skin adores this. Hydrates, brightens, and stregthens your skin barrier. If you're layering serums and creams this preps the skin for better absorption from other products or simply wear it on it's own. I simply cleanse my face, wipe with a toner, and then pat this into my skin and let it do it's magic. ✨️I used to get this imported but now ulta carries it. pls pls pls keep this in stock Ulta.
Love
Excellent product. Skin feels so hydrated and ready for the rest of my skincare after I use it.
gentle and moisturizing
I received a .67 oz sample bottle of this free with purchase. It feels nice going on. It has a clean feel and is moisturizing. My sensitive skin looked great and I had no reaction.
