I love this product line. I have ridiculous sensitive skin and it took a long time for me to find a product that didn't irritate my skin. Their products feel so nice and hydrating. None of them are oily. Some are a little tacky when layering but I think that means you have to wait a little longer between layers. I feel the quality is great and I have seen results in a 60 day time span. I have deep forehead wrinkles that I am self conscious about and these products have done such a great job plumping my skin back out. All of the ingredients are safe for people like me with sensitivities. I was unsure how and when to layer so chatgpt whipped up a routine for me that I follow religiously. will be sticking with this line! Read more
High quality serum at a great price. Clear gel with no oxidation. Haven't noticed any difference in skin tone but it does help with environmental damage and collagen production. I have sensitive combination skin and it does make my skin red if I apply it too much. Read more
