I actually bought this after an accident left me with burn scars all over my forehead (true story, don't play with deep frying) and i wanted something to help speed up the healing process after new skin had formed but which was also gentle enough to not irritate or cause any more damage.


True to what it says on the bottle, there was no irritation or weird sensation on application. I'm not a fan of the smell as i feel it smells somewhat chemical. Its a sort of gloopy, translucent serum, thicker than water. Once you put it on, it settles for a layer and then finally soaks in after about 5 minutes. But i definitively did see results after a couple of weeks. I feel as though it helped to speed up my healing but also it helped me not to have any visible scarring. Now a year later the scarring is all cleared up but i still use it religiously every other day. I feel as though it helps to create some balance within my combination skin, and even though i know its a product aimed for anti-ageing, i still feel as if it makes my skin look visibly better the mornings after i use it compared to the mornings i don't.

Definately a holy grail product, one i will continue to use for years, please estee lauder DO NOT change the formulation.
