@Joji420 the pros are that it didn’t break me out, and it looked very cute on my shelf; but I just didn’t notice a difference in my skin at all using this product. It’s also fragrance (whether artificially or by natural peach ingredients I don’t know) so there’s also that to consider if you don’t want fragranced products.
