I have been using this serum for over a month now and the difference is amazing. It give the skin a light "glimmer" which immediately makes it appear smoother. It doubles well as a primer because my foundation seems more even when I use it on top of the serum. Be sure to use a sunscreen as well as the serum doesn't contain any UV protection. The gel is quickly absorbed and the skin feels immediately smoother and velvety. It definitely does help heal and prevent blemishes. I use it at night with Bio-oil and the difference has definitely been noticeable.
