Perfect for Oily Skin
Absolutely wonderful product for my oily skin. Light weight and easily absorbed. My new favourite Sf Product!!!
Such a hydrating tonic! The smell and colour is a bit strange, but the product works.
Strange colour and smell - but works very to moisturise the skin.
This helped my skin feel so silky and clear. The only complaint is the small size - it's a body wash - MAKE IT LARGER!
Using this more preventatively - love the formula and I'm not aging - so it works.
This took away my dark circles around my eye completely. I'm never without this product!
Quite new to this product, but very happy with the results thus far.
Graduated from retinoic acid to retinoate - so effective! Love this product!
