Something in this made my skin burn like crazy
TL;DR: There are worse options I've tried, but made me break out and has a very strong scent. Expensive for the amount you get. May work for you if your skin isn't acne-prone.
I picked this up because it went viral on social media on release. It did make my skin very glowy and dewy, but it's really not the miracle holy grail influencers want you to believe it is. Maybe it's just not for skin Show more
