OK so i wanted the glow everyone talks about and my face just got angry. Used it every other night like the bottle says and by week two my cheeks were red and it STUNG every single time, then i got little bumps along my jaw that i never get. Stopped it and it took like 10 days to calm down. Maybe fine for tougher skin, mine hated it. the price was nice at least.
