Heritage Store Rosewater Moisturizer 23 ingredients
This moisturizer has a very controversial smell (I love it, my sister hates it) and is kind of effective, was very hard to tell results based of the different times iv’e used it. I stopped using it because it contains phenoxyethanol which can disrupt hormones. It’s a 50/50 buy, you might love it might hate it
