I like it.
I didn't buy it here, but I partly agree with Irina. I have the same reaction on my cheeks specifically with the acid activator. It feels like there is an excessive amount of acid in it. The cream itself does mattify, I can't deny that, but I would rather discard this activator. After the first use (I didn't expect it to be so aggressive), my skin around the lips started peeling for about 4 days, as if I had done 3 peels at once. Now I have adjusted and only apply it to stronger areas like the forehead, but still, I consider the activator to be too aggressive. Of course, it is only for nighttime use, if you have sensitive skin (and 2-3 times a week). Overall, I am still trying to understand this cream, but for now, I am leaning towards not repurchasing it. The advertisement is somehow better than the cream itself. Also, the cream alone doesn't cure your breakouts, so I'm not sure if it's really worth the money just for the cream itself.
I didn't buy it here, but I must share my experience. I developed an allergy to this product - my whole face turned red. Be careful when choosing this cream, it's better to test it before purchasing.
I am delighted! I have never come across a better cream for oily skin, even though I have used more expensive professional brands. It is not greasy, more like a gel-cream, and it moisturizes! At the same time, it leaves my face matte. It is perfect for warm weather, and I hope it won't let me down in cold weather either.
I bought this product from a cosmetologist based on her recommendation, and it was around the same price. I have combination skin that is prone to breakouts, and after reading the description here, I don't understand how this cream is supposed to help me.
I have been using it for two weeks only in the morning, and it feels pleasant on my skin. It instantly mattifies and moisturizes, leaving my face feeling firm and lifted to the touch.
I will write more later.
