I love this serum!!!!

Calming Force is one of my favorites! I use this more often during the days of the month when my skin is extra sensitive, and I can tell an improvement since I started using it. I love how it calms my redness. It’s amazing!

Really wanted to love this, BUT

I have sensitive skin and it DID NOT like this product. I always introduce new products very slowly (about a 3 week process) and within a week of introduction, my skin started breaking out. The product felt heavy and a bit greasy. I so wish I would have had a different experience because I love what the company stands for, but this just did not work for me. I’ve now got a nearly full bottle of product I can’t use.
