the best thing
I work in retail skincare and I am an esthetician. I have tried a LOT of skincare products over the years. This is something my skin can’t be without. Absolutely incredible. Pairs so well with any other serums or moisturizer for skin that just needs extra love and nourishment.

Morning skin care staple
Love this serum. I apply it every morning after washing my face and before lotion. I used to use the drunk elephant peptide cream but decided to give this a try. I love that I can pair the serum with any lotion depending on my skin that day, especially in the summer when i like to use my SPF lotions.

I like this product. I
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this product. I have a strong reaction to retinol with peeling skin. This serum is more calming for my skin while providing so many benefits.
