I broke out with red spots that looked like burns from an anti aging cream with retinol. They will not go away! I’ve had them for 3 weeks.

They were so itchy. I decided to try to use it more frequently like 3-4 times a day and they are finally healing so I have a more flawless chest!

Very creamy, doesn’t stain my clothes and is fragrance free!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Surprise
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024
Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
A good option if it is to be believed that works as well as more pricier brand name. I have zero problem with that, kind of makes me happier. Amazon is in so many fields who knows what bargains am I missing. In the world of pharmaceutical products it’s brand name or generic. Let’s say pain medicine, now harder to get and much less in effects. Does generic mean 20, 30 % less in strength? For a reduced price, of course! No Siree, if I can get the full strength I want it. Point making: is this specific widely known and used product just as good as the name brand? Assuming so then thank you for the offer. 4.1 Stars.
