happy addition to routine
I like this product. It has great ingredients - ceramides and peptides. I like the light, refreshing scent of it. I spray a couple times on my hand then lightly pat onto my cheeks, chin and forehead after my toner. I like the look of the packaging, the sleekness and pink and gold color of it. I can't tell if it's had a particularly impressive impact on my skin, but it hasn't had a bad one, and I know the ingredients are healthy for me. So bottom line, it's not a holy grail, but it's in my daily routine.
