BEWARE: I got a fake one from Amazon, it caused break outs on my skin and dried out during the day within few hours. The tube (packaging) is 100% aluminum and has a gloss pastel yellow packaging color. The fake one is plastic tube and has matt grayish yellow packaging color. See pictures in comparison (left is real and right is fake). Do not recommend buying it from Amazon at all.

I really wanted to love it!
I love the ingredients, the way it sits on my face, the dewiness it leaves on application, it even helps with the hyperpigmentation scars. BUT! It also makes me break out- which is such a bummer because other than that I really do love this product :(
