Claims:
1. Light Weight
2. Ingredients include: Essential ceramides, retinol, and licorice root extract
3. Gently even skin tone
4. Helps fade appearance of post-acne marks
5. Fade pores for a refined complexion while helping to restore the protective skin barrier
Now for my opinions of the product.
1. This product is truly light weight and not sticky. The texture is like a light cream moisturizer. Your skin will drink it up. I like to apply it at night after a good facial cleanse. I noticed that during the summer I can get away with no moisturizer but during the winter a light layer is needed for my dry skin. If you have oily skin this will work well for you.
2. I don't believe the claim 100%. I use it maybe 3-4 times per week. Any more application will cause irritation to my face. I don't know if the other ingredients works or not. I have mature skin (31 years old) so I don't know if the ingredients are working that's why I don't see any differences or if it's not working that's why I don't see any improvements in my face.
My forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, under eye wrinkles, frown lines, and laugh lines does not seem to improve. I have freckles,sunspot damage, and melasma after two babies and those have not fade. My skin is light so any acne scar takes at least one month to semi fade.
Using this product has not increased the fade time. It still took me months for any of my hormonal acne scars to fade. They fade but aren't completely gone either because you can still see somewhat of a shadow or tint. It could be me or it could be the product not really living up to its hype.
The licorice root extract should be boosting overall luminosity on my face but my face still look pretty dull, sadly. Does my face look more healthy before the product? No. My face looks the same. So are the essential ceramides working? I honestly can't tell because I haven't seen any change. I've used this product for 8-9 months now.
3. It did not even my skin tone. Some people would say I'm just being harsh because my skin tone is already even. That's not true. I have discoloration around my mouth and I prayed this product would work but it didn't work for me.
4. Before using this product, my scars would fade within a month or two. Now after 8 almost 9 months of using this product, I can say it did not increase the fading process. Because of that I don't know for sure if it can fade scars any faster than my skin can regenerate itself.
5. I'm just going to say no it did not fade the appearance of my pores. Pores are still there. Skin looks the same.
