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!

I've repurchased this so many times and tried different niacinamide serums but this one is my fav. It improves my hormonal acne so much and controls sebum production. Also, when I had the worst fungal acne flare-up ever, this and the lactic acid 5% SAVED ME. It burned a lot but now I don't have any bumps whatsoever. It won't work immediately so consistency is key. (I have combo-oily skin)
