A little goes a long way
I appreciate Influenster sending me this complimentary product to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

Not blow away, but not bad.

I received a sample size to try and as everyone knows you can not really get a good feel for skincare in samples. There's no miracle, works the very first time, cure all product.

Give it a few weeks to notice a difference

There’s no scent, so it doesn’t irritate my skin. The packaging is simple and I love that, you can easily read the ingredients and instructions. It helps that it’s reasonably priced too.
