My dermatologist had recommended this product for a couple of years and to be honest, I balked at the price, but finally realized that my poor face needed help, and I'm so glad I did. The texture of my skin is so much better, along with correcting discoloration and fine lines. I baked myself at the beach for most of my life so I wasn't expecting a miracle, but I get so many compliments on my skin A. Terwilliger · aveneusa.com
