Works okay but broke me out slightly in the first week. Settled down after that though.

The Prebiotics here sits at a sensible level — not the highest on the market, which is often the right call for tolerability.

Does what it says on the label. My skin's normal and it's played nicely with everything else I use.

Price has crept up a bit since I first bought it, but it's still cheaper than most alternatives doing the same job.

My beautician suggested this after a facial and it's genuinely made a difference since.
