This perfect gift for readers, writers, and literature majors alike unearths the quirks of the English language. For example, do you know why a mortgage is literally a "death pledge"?

ok as part of skin routine, but will take time to see if works
Size: 60ml
I was curious about this product because the idea of a natural product for reducing unwanted hair growth sounded appealing, but my experience was mixed at best. The oil itself feels decent on the skin and didn’t cause irritation for me, which is a plus, especially since it claims to be suitable for all skin types. That said, I did not see dramatic or fast hair-removal results, and it definitely does not work like waxing, shaving, or laser treatments. At most, it seemed like something that might help a little over time with consistent use, but the claims about reducing body hair growth felt stronger than the actual results. If you are buying this expecting a miracle product, you may be disappointed. It may be fine as part of a skincare routine, but I would keep expectations realistic.

Curious to see if it works
Size: 60ml
I’ve started a whole new shaving routine and decided to give this stuff a shot, with what I’ve used thus far I can say the smell is pleasant if you enjoy earthy and floral scents. It has a perfumey scent, but the oil itself left my skin glowing and soft. I’m anxious to continue use!

Great for my middle-aged skin
I found that with age my typically normal skin which gave me no issues when I was a teenager became prone to weird acne that would not want to go away, redness, and overall less vitality. I was using expensive Dermalogica creams for years and loved them, until my skin decided they were not good anymore. My skin just became so much more sensitive in my forties.
This cream is so gentle on my skin and it doesn't irritate it. It's rich enough to moisturize but not too heavy to cause issues. The price is great too for the quality and volume. I'm glad I found it.

Best stuff ever
This line of face products is absolute magic. It’s made a huge difference, quickly, in skin tone evenness and texture, smoothing out the flakes from eczema patches and bumpies on my skin. I’ve had exponentially less eczema flare up since starting using this line.
