One tester said:I was able to use it multiple nights in a row without problems.
Its a thick white cream with a slight chemical-y scent, but nothing too stark.
It doesnt take too long to absorb into the skin or feel heavy or oily.
I dont doubt the claims that in two weeks, wrinkles will appear smoother.

I started using the cryotherapy face mask before bed, and the cooling effect is pure magic.
My face felt puffy from a night out, so I decided to pop this on and relax.
I love that the mask wasnt super soaked in the solution that a typical sheet mask comes on.
When it came time to take the mask off my face, I felt less puffy and hydrated.
I love that my skin also felt plumper.
One tester said:[This product is] basically a luxurious form of slugging.
No chance am I gonna slather my face in Vaseline, but this stuff?

My skin is so plump, hydrated, awake, and glowy.
Not only will they energize and brighten the delicate skin under your eyes, but theyll moisturize it too.

The tip has three ball bearings that roll the product on your skin in a little massage.

I love that this oil is great for all skin types but especially for those with sensitive skin.
It feels extremely lightweight, and leaves a natural glow while it boosts your skins overall texture.
One tester said:This product is amazing!
If you want that dewy glow…. Buy this.
This serum oil is absolutely the latter.
Ive used it as the final step after my moisturizer/SPF.
