I had read all the hype and decided to give it a try. The hype is for a reason! I've only used it as a primer so far (not a mask). I have dry, aging skin and I start with serum, add moisturizer,...

I didn't appreciate this when I was younger, but I now that I'm nearing my 30s, this balm adds extra moisture and brightness to my skin, even after being indoors for 9 hours a day at work. I...

The reviews are so mixed on this, so I wasn't sure how I'd like it, but I wanted to try it anyway. I do like it, I use it under my eyes and along my nose. I think it softens the skin and preps for...

Truly does brighten and tighten. Love this before my foundation and I ALWAYS use this to thin out concealor. This gives an amazing finish to under eye concealor.

As a primer, it's okay. It works best for me under foundations that I feel are a bit heavy and this takes the edge off of the masky look. Used as a face mask, I LOVE IT! I have dry skin, can get...
