    Not good for sensitive skin!!!

    Like many of the reviews, I also experienced milia (small bumps) after using this product. I didn’t make the connection until my aesthetician asked what I’d been doing differently. I have sensitive skin that is very dry in winter and combination in the humid months. While the product feels nice immediately after you apply it on, it doesn’t last long like the tube claims. I used 3 tubes of this until I realized my under eyes were drying out and I was getting more bumps slowly over time. Also not sure about the eye cream, but the belief true cream doesn’t rate well. Maybe it works for a certain skin type, but it certainly didn’t work for me.
