Expired

I was excited to try this product and ordered it in the recent buy 1 get 1 sale. I just received the shipment and the product expired in June 2026. Now I have 2 expired tubes of this product just sitting around. I don't feel comfortable using an expired product on my face. And now I'm not sure if the other products I ordered (without expiry dates) have been sitting around in a warehouse for years.

Peels too easily when you apply too much product. Also SPF is too low to work as outdoor sunscreen.

Finally faded my stubborn sun spots

The texture is lightweight and absorbs instantly without feeling greasy. I love that it’s fragrance-free. My skin looks noticeably brighter and more even after three weeks.

The texture is lightweight and absorbs instantly without a greasy film. It smells very subtle, almost herbal. After a month, my dark spots are noticeably lighter.
