    I was very disappointed with this serum-type product. It didn't sink in, just stayed on the surface. My skin felt like it was being suffocated from all the silicone. The Concentrate felt so...

    This is a wonderful product! My skin is normal to a bit dry. The tube of serum appeared small at first, but a little of this goes a long way. The trick is to use tiny amounts, then spread it...

    UPDATE: after starting on my 2nd tube, I noticed my skin was duller and rougher. When I stopped using the serum, it improved dramatically. I have tried 3 times over the past year to re-introduce...

    This concentrate works really well for my acne-prone, dry skin. I've applied it every night for the past 2 months, and It has not broken me out. When I wake up, my face looks bright, glowy, and...

    I love this product. When I first applied it, I was skeptical; it had the consistency of oil, and felt weird. But within minutes, my face soaked up this “oil” and became instantly softer and...

    I really like this serum. I've been using it for several months now, since the summer. It sinks into my skin and makes it feel so smooth and soft, even though it feels oily at first, it dries to a...

    I returned this product. It uses silicone as a carrier, so the instant smoothness is a "false sense of secutiry". I much prefer using water/gel as a carrier instead. Silicone has its place in make...

    I'm not sure if this does anything. I use this each day under my moisturiser, but I haven't noticed any changes in my skin which I can attribute to using this. Perhaps it's one of those products...

    I have to admit, I'm not sure what I was expecting from this product. It's quite oily and doesn't really do much. It also made me break out, which isn't such a good thing. The packaging is good...

    Nice texture and easy to spread over my face. Not moisturizing enough though. Besides the package will no doubt render the retinol in it ineffective very quickly.
