I love this moisturizer. Very nourishing and fragrant.
I’ve been SO overwhelmed with the difference to my skin since I started using the product – and that was only about 6 weeks ago. It’s looking so much better and feeling better. I used to have to lather on moisturiser (I have rosatia from food allergies) morning and night and my skin still got dried out but with the miessence moisturiser I’ve only used it once a day and my skin’s continuing to get better. I should write an ad!
