Poor/deceptive packaging
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I initially thought I was getting my money’s worth when I purchased this face cream, it seemed like a pretty generous amount for the price. That is, until product stopped coming out from the pump. I thought, okay whatever, I’ll just unscrew the top and get it with my fingers. That’s when I realized that not only is the pump setup stupidly ineffective, as it doesn’t actually reach the majority of the product (it only gets the product directly in the middle, all of the cream on the outside perimeter you’ll either have to get with your hands or move into the center). But the container only has like 1/3 of its volume’s worth of product. The other 2/3 of the container is just empty space. I can’t speak on the effectiveness of the cream itself, I honestly didn’t see any changes in my skin after 3-4 months of use. It was moisturizing enough. If anything, there were times I felt more prone to breakouts. But I would not recommend this product just simply on how deceptive the container is, making you feel like you’re getting a lot more product than you really are.

Great for men and anti-aging
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this product. I use it every night as part of my face cleaning routine. After a face scrub and pat dry i use this moisturizer to lock in moisture. It has seriously been effective and it is very compatible with my skin. It feels pure and clean and has no scent. Great for men.

Amazing!!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 1.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Unscented, Size: 1.85 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Amazing product! I have a hormone imbalance and am prone to ingrown hairs, pustules, and very coarse hair on my chin, jawline, and neck. Since using this product, my ingrown hairs have decreased significantly. It works well for me as someone with PCOS. It has a very comfortable scent, but it is very light. I don’t notice the smell after I rub it in. It really works and should consistently use.

soft finish for upper lip and chin area
I pay close attention to fine facial hair, especially around my upper lip and chin area. Under strong lighting, those small hairs can appear more visible, so I have been looking for a gentle way to care for this area without anything harsh or overly complicated. At night, after cleansing my face and completing my basic skincare, I apply this oil as the final step. It feels like a light finishing layer over the skin. I use a very small amount, about one or two drops, warm it between my fingertips, then gently press it onto the upper lip and chin area. There is no stinging sensation, and the scent is very mild, which makes the application feel calm and comfortable. The texture feels lighter than expected. It spreads smoothly and settles quickly without leaving a heavy or greasy film. My skin type leans slightly combination, and in my case it sits well without making the T zone feel overly coated. Even when I follow with a light moisturizer, it layers without pilling and still feels breathable on the skin. After using it regularly every three days in the evening, the change I notice is mainly visual. The fine facial hair looks less pronounced under bright lighting, especially around the upper lip area. The skin surface also appears more even, and when I touch it, it feels smoother and less uneven in texture. These changes feel gradual rather than sudden, becoming more noticeable over time. From a makeup perspective in the morning, my base applies more evenly after cleansing. Foundation tends to sit more smoothly around the chin and upper lip area, without clinging to texture. During humid days, the skin can feel slightly more active in oil balance, but the overall finish still looks even and natural once makeup is applied.
