  • I ve been using this glow serum every night for a week now and omg my skin actually looks brighter. it’s kinda thick but not sticky? makeup glides on over it super smooth. my t‑zone isn’t shiny anymore and the dry patches on my cheeks feel dewy. didn’t fix all my dark spots yet but i can tell it’s working. totally wanna buy again.
