    Works well

    I've been using this product for about two weeks now. My skin feels firmer and smoother and it visibly reduced my fine lines and forehead wrinkles. I have MCAS and very sensitive skin and this did not cause any irritation at all. Will definitely be purchasing again.

    This serum actually works!

    I found this serum very nice and effective! Only use once daily; l chose night time. I've tried many serums over the years. This one is reasonably priced and I do notice a positive difference!!

    No irritation!

    Erased my fine lines! Lightweight and a bit drying. I would layer my moisturizer ontop twice before bed. No significant irritation, but I do have occasional feeling of "skin tightness". I have rosacea and did not notice any flares.
