Luvs it~
Love the lavender scent. Love the texture, not greasy and absorbs nicely. My skin LOVES this product! Always soft and hydrated in the AM after using this product.
I use this every night, and I love it! The lavender scent is very soothing, it's not greasey, goes on light, and you only need a few drops. My skin is always soft and velvety in the morning!
