Potent product

This stuff is powerful, but I hate the smell. I put it on originally and felt nothing. That changes as the hours went by, with the burn slowly and steadily increasing. My skin initially turned reddish but this was the first use, and my skin hadn't yet accustomed. Haven't used it long enough to see changes but can tell it will work over time. However, I hate the smell. The name is appropriate as it smells like a "brew" that I am putting on my skin. I find it repulsive and will likely return it due to the smell. The smell does subside over the day a little bit. If you're a guy or love the smell of beer, you might like it, but not for me. While I am glad to not have fragrances added, this is still too overpowering.

So far I like it!

It absorbs quickly, and it does not feel too sticky like other products. it leaves your skin super soft, and radiant! I can not say it solve my skin problems it's only my second day, but I can say it feels great on my skin

ChatGPT told me to try it…

This is such a lovely product to use! An absolute essential for my daily skincare routine. I use both am/pm after cleansing, before all my serums. A few drops go a long way! Absorbs nicely into my skin and layers quite well with all my other products.

I don't get it

I've been using it for a few of months, but besides leaving my face feeling a little sticky, I'm not sure it does anything, which is why I came to the site to re-read what the effects of this are... so far not sure it actually does what it says
