For me, it is the best I have ever used! This product is worth a try.
I've been monitoring reviews for this product for a few months on different sites. I was skeptical of buying because most times such positive reviews are trumped up. I have had sensitive skin since i was a teenager, prone to dryness and acne and in-grown hairs if not especially taken care of.
