Reviewers said:
“I have wrinkles, as any 46-year-old lady, and didn't really expect it to do THAT much to them. But after just two weeks I was really surprised about the result. I can also see a big difference on my pores, especially on my nose, my skin is noticeably more even-toned and redness greatly reduced. I am over the moon!” – Lovely65
“I found the results to me almost immediate, my skin looked brighter and lifted all over and after continued use, it does look more even-toned. My pigmentation, which annoys me so much, is definitely lessening in its appearance. I can still see it but it tends to blend in more with the rest of my skin. I also find it plumps out my skin, decreasing the look of my finer lines and wrinkles. A must-have product.” - iluvfacialz
