Been using this toner for about a month after finding it in Marshall's randomly and I love it. I believe it has contributed to less texture and overall visibly less pores.

This call in one cream is truly that. If you love the snail mucin essence, this will take your skin to a new level of moisture. I like it better to use at night so my skin can really soak it all in uninterrupted by the environment.

One of my absolute favorite masks for detoxing the skin. Use this twice weekly and I promise you will see results. Also, the jar may seem small but a litle goes a long way with this mask. It lasted about 6-8 months with me.
