Been using it for 3 weeks and I have seen an impressive change in my skin. Have had very visible dry rough spots on my cheeks for a number of years. These spots are diminishing in texture and appearance and my skin is getting visibly smoother. Applying makeup is easier and skin appears smoother.
I use this and it feels nice but I'm not sure how effective it really is.
I’ve used this product almost daily for three years. It gives this amazing soft, baby glow to your skin. I always use after my vitamin c and before my moisturizer and spf!
Very good
Like the feel of my face after using.
