Promising review: “First purchase from this line and quickly fell in love! The ultra-fine mist that sits so nicely over makeup or alone. I don’t make a point to avoid my eyes and they seem to tolerate it fine! I have incredibly sensitive skin (and eyes for that matter!) and had no irritation from this - and facial sunscreens typically agitate my face fiercely. I usually avoid fragranced skincare, so I wasn’t enthused at how scented it was, but since it didn’t cause irritation and was a pleasant scent, I’m letting it slide this time. Seems like it will last for a long time, especially with how efficient the mist comes out, so that makes the price tag easier to swallow. Honestly, there isn’t a huge market of SPF setting sprays, so I find it to be a good value for a great product! Will definitely repurchase.”—Ang

I have hormonal acne and scarring from that on my chin and cheeks, and I’ve definitely noticed it fading since I started using this. It’s got wonderful hydration, too.

Promising review: "I've been using this serum for a while. I have dry, mature acne, acne-prone skin. Niacinamide is said to work slowly, but right away, I noticed my skin tone looked better and more even. My face has large pores and rough skin. Since I've been using this, my skin doesn't appear as rough, it's smoother, and my pores are less visible. I can't say whether it reduces oily skin or prevents acne. But it didn't cause me acne or pimple breakouts. It seems to be doing what it claims it will. I look forward to seeing the full effects after more continued consistent use."—Kim
