Reviews Summary
Customers say this treatment absorbs quickly and feels gentle on the skin. Many reviews mention visible improvements in skin texture and appearance of marks over time. While some see results within weeks, others note patience is needed for optimal effects. Common feedback includes its effectiveness on various skin concerns, though a few users report slower or limited results. The texture receives praise for being smooth and non-irritating, though some mention the size could be larger.
