This serum changed the appearance of my skin within only the first 3 days of using it. I am glowing like never before!! It feels very luxurious upon application, the texture is silky and warming. It has already evened out my skin after such a short time of using it. My skin feels softer and healthier than it did before I used it. It is perfect for sensitive skin, it doesn’t break me out or feel ir Carly C · influenster.com
