Honestly bought this with doubt because it was viral on TikTok (thought it was all just marketing) but I'm surprised at the quality of this product. It leaves my skin so supple and moisturized, and I could see the difference in pore size and fine lines in a week... will repurchase
Hydrating and feels nice on the skin but caused me to have breakouts. It was the only product I changed in my routine so I know it was the cause.
