Excellent barrier serum
I have struggled for years with random breakouts around my mouth, eyes and nose. My GP prescribed so many medications. Nothing has helped as much as this product combined with a great moisturiser. I have bought so many bottles now and I’ll buy so many more

Really does soothe and repair
This has been excellent for my sensitive, reactive skin. It really does soothe and heal the skin barrier, so much so that ive been able to gradually incorporate other serums/acids into my regime which previously caused breakouts

Better skin barrier, less acne
I bought this product when it first came out because my skin barrier was in need of TLC after over using acids. I thought it might help soothe and repair my skin, and it absolutely did, but what I didnt expect was that it helped my spots. I think this is down to a healthier skin barrier but my skin absolutely loves this stuff. The pink is just from the b12 in it, which is bright red naturally, and becomes pink when mixed with the other, white, ingredients. So don't worry about that, its all natural. I have continued to buy this ever since as my skin is happier and healthier with this in my routine
