Hey Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI'm only 5'4"!
Well I think that mine works well because I use it religiously. If I skip even one night, I have the tendency to break out the next day... which kind of scares me, but that just makes me remember every night. Weird thing though: it doesn't work past it's expiration date. So check that out.
ReplyDeleteMy skin gets kind of dried out by it too, but I just moisturize in the morning and everything is fine.
beautiful pictures
ReplyDeletevery insightful- thanks for all the tips :)
