Customer review: "I bought this because it was on sale. I'd never heard of the brand. I'm 40 with combination skin. I didn't find it greasy just beautifully hydrating and personally, I love the smell. The main reason I have to review it though is that it has worked really well on my frown lines, I've never been more impressed with the results of a face cream and my skin is really glowing too. I'm a vitamin C convert for sure! My skin can be quite sensitive but after two weeks of using this product, it seems to be ok. I've found my perfect day cream."

Customer review: "I bought this for my holiday as it has a pretty good (25spf) sunscreen in it, as well as brightening vitamin C, in the hopes of improving my acne scarring and pigmentation. I have to say I really love it. My skin feels moisturized and nourished and it does look brighter and less red. Perfect for sunny days, it saves time with it being a three-in-one product - serum, moisturizer and SPF. It has a lovely light fragrance, and the pump dispenser on the bottle is excellent. The design of the bottle makes it quite compact considering the volume of the product so it's ideal for weekends away or holidays too as it's not too bulky for your toiletry bag. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a boost to their skincare routine, as this product is so quick and easy to incorporate and such great value for a product doing 3 jobs!"
