i liked it before i got into skincare but doesn’t mesh well with my routine at all. i struggle with redness/ very mild rosacea and immediately after putting this on today i watched my skin turn redder so not the best if you have that. i guess for regular no routine this isn’t the worst but i wouldn’t recommend this product to friends
