I really wanted to love this, especially since itโ€™s an affordable alternative to Guerlainโ€™s Abeille Royale line and contains some great ingredients. At first, it made my skin look and feel nice, but the longer I used it, the more I noticed small pimples appearing. Thankfully, the breakout calmed down about a week after I stopped using it.
