Actually finally seeing changes

It took a while, but I'm actually finally seeing some changes (after a month and a half of applying it in the mornings and evenings). All I can say is trust the process and be consistent. It actually really works, you just need to have patience.
I used it in combination with the ultimate range (toner and moisturizer) so the combined effect proberby lead to the overall change but I believe this product also played a good role as well.
Happy so fat, I'll keep on using it to see how far my goal can be achieved;)

So far so good

It's only been 4 days since I started using this product and the glow is coming through...I love the consistency of the product it leaves my skin feeling soft. I have sensitive skin so I was worried when I first used but I'm so excited over the results so far in such a short period.
