i really wanted to like this product but my skin got a little itchy and irritated after using it. I was thinking maybe its the centella? but i have been using other products with centella in it and i didnt have any negative reactions to them 🥲🥲 It did make my skin sticky too which was another downside for me
edited : gave this serum another try as i was thinking maybe it was the way i layered Show more

It soothes a lot, isn't too thick and no scent of course. The peptide combination used in this serum is Matrixyl 3000, which is great for Show more
