    This has no effect on my skin whatsoever. No tightening, no brightening, I don't even think it works that well as a makeup primer because by the end of the day my foundation has broked up in...

    Didn't like this product at all. It looked great when first applied but that didn't last very long, about 10 minutes. Also I was very conscious of it on my face, it felt like I was wearing a mask...

    I used this as a primer and a radiant booster for my often dry-dull looking skin. The product is scented but nothing offensive and has a light champagne/beige color but goes on clear. I did not...

    I have but one thing to add: If you want to experienced the 'tightening' part, try leaving it on for ten minutes before applying makeup, rather than applying makeup immediately as per the...

    This stuff works to bring blood to the skin by irritating it with potassium hydroxide. Commonly known as lye. This is also why Beauty Flash Balm is promoted as a "special occasion" product...

    I have oily/combo skin and this didn't do anything for me. I was better off not using it. No reaction or anything, but I might as well have rubbing air on my face
