I wanted to like this product but it has such a heavy perfume. A bit like old lady perfume. Surprisingly it didn't break me out as my skin is sensitive though. It doesn't do much for my skin as I'm still flaky afterwards, just not as flaky. It's fun seeing the product ball up but I think it's just the product building up and drying rather than it balling up flaking skin. I haven't used it enough to see any brightening effects.
