YOU DON'T GET IT!!! this is one of the greatest innovations in skincare of the century! saved my skin barrier from beyond hope, it's totally FA-safe even if SkinSort says it's not (arginine is usually okay for me) yes it's a little pricey but 100% worth it, I cannot live comfortably without this product

both photos no makeup taken 4 years apart but results happen much quicker! I just chose Show more
