Contains Alcohol
I wrote a glowing review for this earlier in the year, but--with extended use of this, I found it to be quite irritating to my skin. To be clear, I am a Retin-A user so my skin needs soothing products. This made my skin sting every time I applied it. Since this is a "Clean" brand, imagine my surprise to find out that Alcohol (plain old alcohol) is one of the top ingredients (3rd maybe?). I substituted this with another "Clean" brand peptide serum that is soothing and it has made all the difference. Buyer beware...
Truly is "botox in a bottle"
I feel like the claim of "botox in a bottle" has been a catch phrase of every new skincare product since the 90's. However, this is truly "it." I highly recommend letting the serum truly absorb into the skin for a good 5-10 minutes before applying moisturizer, however, during that time you will feel your skin physically tighten and lift. I can't say for sure if this is a permanent effect but I can say upon washing my face at night, my skin does seem to remain tighter, and pores more refined.
