I have dry to normal, eczema sensitive skin and I also absolutely love this. This thin milky lotion has no scent, and does not cause any irritation for me. This keeps my skin glassy, plump en hydrated. I used this mornings and nights underneath my skincare and just opened up a new packaging. I would love the spray or better yet a pump bottle for this but those are difficult to get in europe.

Wow! feels like I using 3 products in one. It is an excellent and lighter-than-usual all-in-one cream and I see some brightening effects, especially for hyperpigmentation. The Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence with Glutathione and niacinamide is a skincare product that combines the hydrating and rejuvenating properties of snail mucin with the antioxidant benefits of glutathione. Snail mucin is known for its ability to hydrate the skin, promote collagen production, and repair damaged skin. Glutathione, on the other hand, is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from free...

Ever since my HG retinal (Avene Cleanance Woman Smoothing Night Care) was discontinued, I've been seeking out others. I was prepared to pay the high price for Glow Recipe's blackberry serum but started looking again when I ran out in a month. It has been about four weeks since I started the Revive Eye Serum, 2.5 pumps all over my face and neck nightly, and it's amazing. The cream is pale yellow and rubs in nicely. Like the Avene it's moist enough that I don't need a separate moisturiser on top. I have seen no diminution of results since I finished the Glow Recipe and in fact I think my...

I love this! I felt like I was able to see results fairly quickly. My skin looked brighter and healthier and if I stopped using it I could tell there was a difference, I could even see the difference in photos after a couple of months of use. My skin is brighter, moisturized, and has a beautiful glow to it even when I use this. My son loves it. I hadn't used it in over a year, and I can honestly say my skin looked better when I was using it regularly. Nothing over the top but it is noticeable to me. I wish the price was a little less but a bottle lasts quite a while. I love the chic look...

The 'La Mer' of Korean skincare. I first tried sample sizes of the 'classic' version side by side with the lighter version (exact same name but minus the word 'classic'). From the two, the 'classic' is my favorite as it contains less Dimethicone (a silicone) and less perfume (more ideal for sensitive skin types such as mine). It is also slightly richer, although somehow it sinks right in and doesn't leave me with an oily film on my face - which is what almost always happens with rich moisturizers. It probably helps that I don't use a huge amount of the product. In the time I've been using...

My skin is a constant menace and needs almost daily exfoliation to prevent the formation of whiteheads caused by either warm/humid weather and having to wear masks all the time. Unfortunately, my skin has become mysteriously sensitive over the years and certain things/ingredients can flare up my facial eczema if I go too hard with the chemical exfoliation - and so, it's very tricky for me to find products that are simultaneously gentle and effective for my comedonal acne. Enter CoxRX's BHA exfoliating toner! This product is fantastic. In the past when I've tried BHA products, they would...

I knew this was going to be a holy grail the first time I used this product. It has one of the finest misters I have ever tried and after spraying the product on my skin, it felt so nicely hydrated and calm. It has a stacked ingredient list with fermented ingredients such as Bifida Ferment Lysate, Lactobacillus, Pumpkin Fruit Ferment Filtrate, as well as peptides and antioxidants. I use it primarily as skin care, to hydrate my skin between layers. I will absolutely repurchase.
