TL;DR — Reddit consensus
Lightweight hydrating serum that rescues dehydrated skin with green tea extracts. Multiple users report stinging and burning, especially on compromised skin.
Amazon vs Reddit
Amazon loves it. Reddit isn't sold.
On Amazon: ★4.6 from 1,873 reviews — that's roughly 90% positive.
On Reddit: 55% of 34 redditors recommend it.
The gap of 34 points is unusual and worth reading the cons before you buy.
