🌺 For people with dry skin it might not provide adequate hydration in the winter. Many people complain about the smell (I actually do like it).

🌺 Packaging: 
Hard plastic bottle with a pump that can dispense even the tiniest amount of lotion. 

🌺 Texture: 
Lightweight, almost gel-like texture, it gets absorbed into the skin very quickly. Not sticky at all, I have never experienced any pilling, no matter what other products I combined it with (over serums, even oily ones, under sunscreen or foundation… etc.) 

🌺 My personal experience:
I use it in both my morning and evening routine (as I said it goes well with all the products).
It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and adds a silky feel to it. I am prone to acne (the occasional break-outs) but this product has never caused any. I personally love the scent (it is parfume-free so it might just be the natural fragrance of the citrus and the tea tree oil).

You have to be very cautious with this product. It is a strong acid, the strongest one available on the market as far as I know. If you have sensitive skin, this might be too much for you. You MUST use sunscreen (SPF 50+) and you MUST frequently re-apply it (every 2-3 hours) because it WILL make your skin more susceptible to UV damage. But as long as you&#39;re careful it should fine.

I think it&#39;s one of the most effective products on the market HOWEVER you must take precautions, follow the rules to a T and pay very close attention to how your skin reacts. I&#39;m lucky in that sense that mine is not fussy whatsoever and it will endure practically all the abuse to which I subject it. 🙈 That being said, everyone is different and this is certainly not going to be everyone&#39;s cup of tea. 

I started using this peeling solution mostly because of PIH and acne scars. I had chemical peeling  done before by a professional, so I was aware of how much stinging is considered to be &quot;normal&quot;. First I think I only left it on for maybe 3 minutes, washed it off and applied a generous amount of cica cream which was recommended to me by my esthetician. I slowly worked my way up to 10 minutes in about a year. I&#39;m on my 4th bottle, my skin is so much brighter, the spots have faded quite a bit, my pores are much less visible. So yeah, it does the job. But...

The texture is rather thick, for people with oily skin it might feel a bit heavy.

I love this cream! It&#39;s one of those products I keep re-buying over and over again. It will fix almost any kind of problems you might have: bring down inflammation (caused by acne), heal damaged skin barrier (because of over-exfoliation), fade PIH (therefore even-out skintone). It also helps with minor, superficial injuries (scrapes and cuts): it reduces irritation and speeds up the healing process by accelerating the regeneration of tissue. It contains zink and copper, both of which have antimicrobial properties and hyaluronic acid for hydration. It&#39;s also very affordable.

🌺 Cons:
- even though it is specifically marketed for dehydrated and sensitive skin, it made my skin feel really tight after using it 
- I also experienced some tingling and burning if my barrier was even a slightly bit compromised 
- it irritated my eyes
- it had a strong scent 
- it had an awful taste if it accidentally got on my lips

I actually really like the brand but this particular product just wasn&#39;t for me.

🌺 Product claims:
- removing dirt and make-up while providing hydration for dry skin

🌺 Personal experience:
I used this in the evening as part of my double cleanse routine before switching to an oil cleanser. According to the manufacturer it&#39;s not necessary to rinse it off but I felt like it left a sticky residue so always used a water based cleanser afterwards. I don&#39;t wear make up so I can&#39;t tell you how effective it might be removing that but it seemed to work just fine taking off the sunscreen. 

🌺 Repurchase: 
definitely not

It&#39;s quite pricey (40 Euros or $46 in my country). I also wish it came in SPF 50.

This is a mineral based formula, which contains nano zinc oxide as UV filter. It provides a broad spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays as well. 

It’s slightly tinted so it leaves no white cast and blends really well. For me the color is just perfect: it evens out my complexion and hides minor discolorations (PIH) without looking like I have foundation on. I think it should be ok for most people with light or medium skin tone (for reference: my skin’s phototype is a III according to the Fitzpatrick classification). If you have darker skin this might be too light for you. 

The texture is smooth, lightweight, silky and leaves a nice matte finish. My otherwise dry skin feels soft and hydrated when I’m using this. Never experienced any tightness and it’s actually the first sunscreen that doen’t irritate my eyes. I didn’t notice any pilling &#47; balling, regardless of what I layered it with.

It also contains soothing ingredients (bisabolol from chamomile and white willow bark extract) and a blend of antioxidants (resveratrol, quercetin, vitamin E and C, pomegranate extract… etc). 

This is by far the best WESTERN sunscreen I&#39;ve ever tried.
