I initially purchased this for my mom, knowing that she has rosacea and many skincare products irritates her skin. This product did not irritate her at all. I bought it later for my self and I love how soothing and light it is. My dad has been suffering from a skin affliction for some time that causes him to get ulcers near he's ankles if he is not careful. The skin near the ulcer gets very tight, dry and itchy, and no creams helped him before. My mom knowing how soothing this ampoule is, did some reaserche on madagascar centella and decided to use a few drops AROUND the ulcer (I don't recommend you doing this, but she did). This is the only thing that has helped improve his skin and I think this story says a lot about the product.
