Although this product can be used as the last step in your morning or evening routine, I prefer to use it in the evening. It leaves a very matte finish, which I don’t like, even when layered with sunscreen or makeup.
The formula includes 10% azelaic acid and 1% salicylic acid, combined with five types of ceramides and a load of antioxidants, which sounds promising. It does improve skin texture, Show more
I loved it so much. My main skin concerns are related to texture, very visible pores and dullness. This product really addressed them, most notably on the general visual appearance of the skin. Worked like a charm and never felt too heavy or uncomfortable. Only problem: too pricey 🥲 I’m still to find a dupe 🥹 if you can buy it and have no problem with BHA, I highly suggest to try it.
