My skin is sensitive and sometimes I need more than a sample to know how my skin will react. I am happy to say that I haven’t had any issues with any of the products I purchased. I’ve noticed smoother, healthier, hydrated skin. My family noticed at a recent gathering that my skin looked healthy. I’m really impressed!!

So far I’m loving the cleanser, but I’m was surprised that the other two creams were for night time/evening. I would have thought that one cream was for daytime and the other for nighttime. However, I really enjoy both creams at night.
