Calms down my irritation and helps with controlling inflammation breakouts as long as I use it on dry skin (spicy on wet skin).

I love this product. I need to use it more frequently. I love how it feels when I apply it. It’s a red “oil”, but easily blends into the skin.

It definitely adds glow and brightness to my skin.

I have yet to come across a product similar to this by other brands.
