It is definitely a investment. But I have already bought two and I will continue to buy it. I love the smell and the way it leave my skin so soft. The new bottle now comes with a drip stopper where before it was just open. I have come to realize that it is better when the skin is a little wet and not so dry when applying it. I have bought this product because I am very sensitive to any other products and this one does not cause any allergic reaction to sensitive skin. I am still using it and I have not seen its full potential other than feeling so soft and clean. I feel as if I was in Brazil. Actually, after I shower.
