I’ve used this for a couple of years now and it is worth the hype. I’ve sensitive, acne prone skin- this product has balanced my face, toned down the red , and abated the breakouts. I use it twice a week , coinciding with Cerave face wash and face lotion. I’m 48, and keep my products simple , including my make up. If you’re doubting , trust me, this product indeed works and is worth the price and the accolades it receives.
