Like any liquid oil, application can be messier than a balm, but this one emulsifies very well and really does get rid of makeup. It does feel hydrating, and may work better for drier skin.

This is a very gentle, basic cleanser that doesn't strip my skin and works pretty well as both a morning cleanser and after oil cleansing. Sometimes I'm not sure if it cleans quite *enough* on the days when I'm super grimy, but overall I do like it.

I LOVE the Good Genes. I notice a distinct brightness to my skin the morning after use, and it works while not feeling too harsh on my skin. I feel my moisturizers go on smoother the next morning with this product. A lot of people complain about the smell, but I like it.

When I'm not using the Good Genes, I use this. This acid does feel a bit harsher, and depending on the day, I get a bit more tingling/stinging, but this soon dissipates. I don't mind the sensation, but it may bother some more sensitive types. I feel like this one is a more effective resurfacer than the Good Genes, while the Good Genes is more brightening and plumping. Both of these have their place in my routine!

I LOVE the way this oil feels on my skin. It feels luxurious, soothing, doesn't break my skin out, and I do notice my skin feels much better in the morning when I wake up. I don't use it on my delicate undereye skin, which is where my wrinkles mainly reside, so I can't directly speak to how effective its anti-aging properties are. I got this as part of the Power Couple kit and enjoy using it every night. I may try a prescription strength retinoid at some point if I can get to a derm, so this one may eventually be phased out if that's the case. If not, I'll likely keep using it, though I may "cheat" and try other night oils to see if I like them. For a first time night oil experience, two thumbs up from me!

I am extremely milia prone, so most thick or creamy eye creams are out for me. I purchased this on a recommendation and found it does not cause me any milia and feels great under the eye area. I've only been using it about a month, and haven't noticed any "results," per se, but I also have super bad undereye wrinkles so I'm not sure anything short of fillers will help. It is gentle and hydrating, though.

Cheap, feels great, and absolutely hydrates my skin. Non-irritating and a great evening workhorse of a lotion. For super dry types it might not be enough, but it's great for me. For comparison, I tried the Lala Retro cream from Drunk Elephant and found that one waaaay too heavy. Besides, I love me some ceramides. For this price point, I can't go wrong with this one.
