Really gorgeous product with fantastic ingredients in. It’s lasted a couple of months use, once a day in the morning. So, would probably only last a month if used twice a day. I found it suitably moisturising for my combo skin during UK summer. Other gel moisturisers sometimes need another layer, but I felt this one only needed one. Expensive though, as all of Peach & Lily’s products are. But! My Show more

Its like a multivitamin for your skin
I love this serum, it goes on so smooth and absorbs quickly. You can see a difference overnight with redness and inflammation go down, and over time your skin just looks healthier! It has points in all skills, it is a bit pricey but for long term use and investment I think it's worth it.
I absolutely LOVE this serum! It's perfect for my dry winter skin! It also helped so much when I ruined my skin barrier. I will forever repurchase.
