I started using it last week during my night care routine. It has made my skin so soft and glowy. I wake up in the morning and it looks like I just washed my face. I would highly recommend for girls with Normal/Sensitive skin. A little goes a long way.

I've used a lot of products for my pigmentation and Acme but I've never had a good solution. I tried acid lactic just for a couple of days I see a lot of improvement. Woow thank you
