This serum has changed my face and simplified my routine.

Disappointed
I really love this company and their products but this one was a miss for me. Not only did it not treat the redness, but it actually amplified it. When I put it on, my skin reacts to it and I turn cherry red. I really wanted to love this product.

Broke my face out
I tried lessening my useage of it to only once a day, to then twice a week, but my face was incredibly oily, to the point where my skin became severely dried out (worsening the issue of dead skin I was trying to fix beforehand) and my pores got clogged from all the excess oil on my face. Caused a bad acne breakout on my chin that is still healing. I would not recommend for oily or acne prone sensitive skin.
Restock!! Love it so much?
Helps so much with redness and skin feeling hydrated!
horrible
it broke me out so bad and can we please talk about the wax smell and the oily feeling after you put it on?
Pilling
This products pills on the skin. The color is pretty though!
Skin Barrier
This really helped soothe my eczema and felt amazing on the dry, dehydrated areas of my face. But I did notice some breakouts in spots where my skin was already doing fine, so it's a bit of a mixed experience.
