Noticeable smoothing within a week. My makeup sits better and the dull patches around my cheeks look brighter. Will repurchase!

★★★★★ — Verified buyer
Great for Joburg winters — keeps my skin looking fresh without dryness. I use it three nights a week and no irritation so far.

★★★★☆ — Verified buyer
Strong but effective. I had mild tingling the first two uses; spacing it out helped. Skin looks more even after two weeks.

★★★★★ — Verified buyer
Simple, no-frills exfoliant. Pairs perfectly with hyaluronic acid and a gentle moisturiser. Love the glow.
