    “My skin stopped feeling tight by week two.”

    Richer creams just sat on top of my skin. This one sinks in, and my foundation goes on better over it.

    “The first retinal that didn’t make me peel.”

    I started with two nights a week, like the card said. No flaking, and the lines around my mouth look softer.

    “Light enough for July.”

    No shine by lunch, which never happens. I’d buy a bigger size if there was one.

    “Finally a cleanser that doesn’t sting.”

    I have rosacea and anything scented sets it off. Three months in, this hasn’t once.

    “I use all four, every day. That’s new for me.”

    I used to own twelve products and use two. Four steps is about what I can manage before work.
