I had high hopes for this product, but it unfortunately didn't deliver over the two weeks I used it. I saw it had some of my favorite hydrating ingredients like Squalane and Glycerin and got super excited. Felt great on my skin during application, but contributed to additional breakouts in multiple areas of my face and left me feeling greasy and irritated. I do have sensitive, acne-prone skin, so Show more

Gave me, a beginner, an extremely beautiful, even tan. Also broke me out very badly. Who puts coconut oil in a face product? Normally I always check the ingredients, but since the importer had slapped a translated instruction sticker on top of the INCI list and my phone battery was about to die I didn't bother rhis time, and this is what I got for it.
