I bought this product early this year in my effort to curate brands for my online store. I read a lot about the brand, philosophy behind it and was excited. When I received it, I started my testing process. I have a system that I use over which takes about 6 to 8weeks. During this time I am noting down interactions, reactions, results, etc .
I always patch test in certain parts of my body and face; and when I get the all clear I proceed to use on my entire face. Unfortunately this product did not get the all clear from my skin. My skin (which is extremely sensitive) had an allergic reaction . I put it away and returned to it few days later, no clear.
This does not in any way mean the brand is awful, the formula (lemon peel extract concentration may be too high for my skin to tolerate) was just not right for me.
I am looking forward to testing out a couple more promising products in there range but unfortunately this wasn't for me.

At this point , I would share my PRO’s and CON's but because I could not use it long enough I figured it would make no sense. As mentioned in my intro I noticed a little irritation on my skin right after using it and at that point I stopped using it for a week. After the week, I did a little swab on my skin and this time noticed a little redness.
