BURNSSS
I used this product for one night, put it on my nose and went to sleep. When i woke up the next morning my nose had acid burns all over. It was very painful. Would not recommend for sensitive skin
For a smalll amount amount it good

Odd reaction
I have been using this product for years. It seems that the bottle ive purchased recently is giving me some kind of reaction. I didnt think this is what was causing it as its been a part of my routine for years now. I only normally apply along my jawline and down my neck but i have been having some pretty bad redness irritation and swelling every morning after ive applied this. Not sure if somethings changed but I would be cautious or maybe do a patch test before using on your face
