Only recently, I have been reading how most skin products we use, are alkaline and it can cause damage to the skin. I honestly wish, I knew this long time ago! I've had all my life combination skin. At time too dry, at time too oily. And acne was part of my nightmares too. (still is, but not so serious) I decided to adjust my skin care routine completely, and looked for Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid products, and then the low ph products. I even use some snail moisturisers to care for the damages on the skin. Since then, I've notice and incredible improvement on my skin complexion. It looks healthier, smoother, more even and the dry patches or oily patches are pretty much gone. my skin feels perfect. This gel was a tremendous addition on my skin care routine. I really wish I knew long ago... ❤️
