My husband and I, we both use this product. We have notice good results, very different because we have different skin types. I see a more calm and uniform skin tone, he has his rosacea under control. The other big difference is that he feels comfortable using it and I hate it, but I notice the effects when I don't use it. Conclusion: if you have sensitive skin you are not going to enjoy using it but your skin may like it (or not)
