Extremely harsh
The first time I opened the bottle the strongest smell of pure alcohol came out; first red flag. I tried it only once and yes, my skin was smoother and with less texture, I will say that; but the following morning was extremely dry and irritated although I applied a thick moisturizing cream.
This one is a no go for me and I don't have particularly sensitive skin.
