First let me say I am loving this line. The serum and moisturizer have blown me away and this didn’t disappoint either. It’s a must that I use an exfoliating toner because I find that my skincare works better and my makeup looks better if my skin is exfoliated. This is gentle yet effective. It’s comfortable as well and didn’t irritate my skin at all. Since Ive already been using an exfoliating toner, I did not have any purging but you may if you’re new to it. Because of the hyaluronic acid, this left my skin feeling hydrated and never dry or tight. My skin looked brighter and smoother. I’m super impressed.
