"I tried this product originally to help reduce redness on the extremities of my face. I am skincare saavy and regularly use serums, so the price was perfect. I noticed smoothness and hydration immediately, then at 6 weeks, an even tone with all the redness reduction. After a few months of using the product i have seen better fullness around the upper cheek (Lower Orbital) and a softening of the Naso-labials, which is not bad for a serum anyone can simply run out and buy! Great product and am continuing to use." -Cerave Reviewer
