I actually adore the way this product makes my skin feel but the packaging is comical. Its near impossible to pop the lid off so I just leave it...
I actually adore the way this product makes my skin feel but the packaging is comical. Its near impossible to pop the lid off so I just leave it halfway on. I thought I had finished up the product because no more product was coming through the pump but NO! I unscrewed the lid and there’s still 2/3 product left. I like this but not enough to repurchase because it’s so annoying to use. I’ll repurchase after they fix their packaging. Never thought packaging would deter me from a product but here we are!
