This has been a lifesaver after micro needling very soothing. Thick texture.
I used this after micro needling. I must admit I went a bit deep and frightened my self, but I used this for the following 48hrs and I think it saved the day 😅. Brilliant product for post treatment
This is the most insane cream I’ve ever used. I had a facial in a salon which left me with chemical burns from the strength of the products used. Once the redness had gone down a week later, my face started to peel like a snake. This cream fixed it within 2 applications. It’s super thick, almost like a suncream but it is luxurious and so hydrating. Would pay double.
