      Compared it side by side with a clinic-brand option and couldn't justify paying double for basically the same actives.

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

      The Eastern Cape wind off the coast means I go through moisturiser fast, but this one actually lasts and still works.

      Started slow because I react to almost everything, but this has been fine, even used daily now.

      Been buying this for over a year — still my go-to, and I've tried plenty of alternatives since.
