Its like a multivitamin for your skin
I love this serum, it goes on so smooth and absorbs quickly. You can see a difference overnight with redness and inflammation go down, and over time your skin just looks healthier! It has points in all skills, it is a bit pricey but for long term use and investment I think it's worth it.
