Pump stopped working

I love this product but the pump stopped working and there’s no way to open the bottle. There was a lot left which is frustrating because this product is so expensive. I would love to continue using this product but I don’t won’t to buy more and risk wasting more money if the pump stops working.

Glad I trialed this product!

I trialed this product and absolutely loved it. Applying both as a PM moisturizer (it was enough for me), I could see a more refreshed and brighter complexion in the morning. Also have applied post-dermaplane along with the Enzymatic Treatment and it was chef's kiss. Ordered another bottle for a client and plan to add to my current personal regimen.

Even Skin Tone

Started using this serum 4 months ago and have gotten several compliments on how my skin looks. Even my dermatologist mentioned it and asked what I’ve been using. This takes time and consistency but I’m a fan!
