I applied on back to treat acne and it works!
I use AHA/BHA cream on my face and neck to help stop the wrinkle clock. It’s working…
Love this cream! It's helped with hormonal breakouts, and my skin is feeling a lot smoother.
I am very disappointed.. it is so thick you can not blend it also they send me the product almost expiring in few months .. it is pricy and not worth this product at all.
Hi Nil, I don't think you're reviewing the right product. If I may guess, you're talking about the Total Defense sunscreen. Unfortunately, this is the furthest date SkinMedica has.
