Got rave reviews

I used to use this a while ago and decided to try it again based on my favorite Internet dermatologists. They absolutely raved about this product so I’m excited to be using it again.

Effective

I like what this serum does for my skin, but given my sensitive and dry skin and regular use of tretinoin, I have to proceed with caution as my skin did get irritated with too frequent use. When I use once per week, this works great. I'm not a fan of the smell, but not a deal breaker.

Surprisingly moisturizing

Although not a moisturizer, it's moisturizing. I ran out for a few days and my skin felt dry and looked dull. My only complaint is accessing the remains in the bottom of the jar. The tube doesn't reach, q-tips are a bit too short, and storing it upside down doesn't do much. Speaks to the thickness of the product at least.
