My overall experience/comments on the product:
I know this item is highly recommended and reviewed for being good for redness and dryness. Well here I am, red and dry, thinking ok this is gonna be great. Except that it wasn't. It felt nice going on but ultimately I didn't find that it hydrated my skin or reduced redness... at all. I'm unsure if I'd see results using it long term versus just the little tester but I suppose I wanted to be blown away and I wasn't.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
