I tried this after trying John Masters Rose & Aloe Hydrating Toning Mist. The toning mist was absolutely amazing and I have gone back to it sense using this.
I'm not sure why the face serum didn't work as well but I broke out more on my cheeks when using it. It may be because I was touching my face but, breaking out is a big deal for me. I feel I need to add that I have fairly large pores and maybe that also has something to do with it. But, breaking out is my only complaint.
The serum goes a long way. If you put a pea sized amount on, you'll feel like your well covered. It also dries fairly quickly. I didn't notice any difference, after using it for around a month, in the way my skin produced (or didn't produce) oil. I have had issues with combination skin in the past, but, it seems to be fairly normal now. So, no big change there.
It smells a kindof like herbs, which isn't an ideal for me.
I think if you your skin isn't too sensitive to being touched, this would be a great product.
