Can cause irritation

On hot days it can cause a bit of irritation, redness, itching when perspiring for my skin, especially on my neck in creases. The day after exfoliating I make sure to add additional sunblock and sometimes skip a day of using Vitamin C and rather apply Hydration Juice in its place. Also using less helps, I normally do 3 drops but come down to 2 drops. I have ordered Azelaic Acid to test to soothe skin after exfoliation night or to calm skin after any feeling of irritation.

At first, I was not sure about this products as I have oily skin. My skin is glowing and plum, texture is smooth and pores have decreased. It also last for some time as I only use it in the morning. Will definitely purchase again

This is an essential in every skincare routine, and not just for those worried about fine lines. This product is key to a smooth and even texture. I use this in the mornings and the Retinol at night. It is quite runny, so takes practice to learn how to apply, but it's worth the effort! My skin has never looked brighter. I don't wear foundation anymore. Simply stunning! And this brand is magic - truly caring and exceptional team, I would trust every product from them.
