This works

Smells nice, feels luxurious and moisturizes my skin nicely. Product does what it says. Bought my first tube mid-November and ordering my next one now, has lasted me 3 months and I use a pea size amount every night. Does not irritate my skin at all. Ordering the 1% Retinol serum to use on alternate nights for extra boost. Testing as an eye cream and for dark rings, no visible results yet but consistency is key and will review again later.
