Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There I was. It was a Tuesday, mid October, 2018. I’m pacing Walgreens skin care aisle, reading labels up & down. Sweaty & hormonal, pregnant & confused. There she was; the esthetician angel hired by Walgreens. She approaches me. “How can I help you?” I look at her, she looks at me. She must be in her 60s? But her skin looks flawless. (Seriously do pores just disappear at her age?) She doesn’t even have wrinkles, except for some beautifully placed smile lines. “Sure,” I mumble; clearly disheartened. “My face is freaking out. I’ve spent $100+ these last few months trying to fix it. I’ve never had an issue-before this pregnancy- & I don’t know what’s wrong with my skin!” I continue to vent hormonally, “Breaking out, greasy one moment & dry & flaky the next-“ She nods her head up & down as I speak, eyes shimmering in understanding behind her rimless glasses. She’s been here before. “Have you tried La Roche moisturizer? It’s probiotic thermal water works miracles.” I haven’t of course. My fairy godmother (for who else could this angel be?) hands me the unsuspecting bottle. $20 dollars? I scoff inwardly at the high price tag, not fully understanding yet what a gift this is. SPF or no spf? (It doesn’t matter I later find out, they both were made by the beautiful witches of the west & represent it.) It worked that very night. My face literally healed in 24 hours. (Read the back of the bottle. It does what it says) 18 months later, I’m on my 5th bottle. My face is supple, even, and I barely wear makeup. (cc cream by it, & that’s it.) It’s magical. Whats in this bottle? Sorcery perhaps? “ANY SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IS INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM MAGIC” My only wish is it came in a bigger bottle. *ive added a photo with myself wearing it cc cream, but you can see my face looks lovely. Thank you fairy god mother of science. THANK YOU **Update: 2022 Just ordered another bottle. Read some reviews & wanted to comment about the “pilling”. The pilling is dead skin….exfoliate before. I’m on my, like 10th? bottle or something. From personal experience I’ve noticed if I don’t exfoliate & just “put it on” without properly cleaning & taking care of my face-pilling WILL happen. I actually take it as an indication I need to take better care of my face. I wasn’t paid anything for this review. Not even a “give us a good review & you get a free bottle” discount. WHICH I AM cool with. I personally take those little postcards as offensive little star-grabbing buggards messing with the review system. Anywho. My hair is longer in the 2nd photo…that’s how long I’ve been using this lotion. My kid is a toddler & we’re looking for baby #2… Never going without this stuff as I can tell when I don’t moisturize & maintain my “protective layer” on my skin with this magic lotion. Cheers to less blotchy, angry, skin peeps. **Update: 2023 Ah! I ran out and went through a thing with my mental health for like 6 months. I stopped being kind to myself, and then I became pregnant w/ our 2nd & (just like last time) my face freaked out. After some self love & use of this product, my face got better again. This time I took before and afters with no makeup…might have been embarrassed to post these once upon a time, but I'm hoping to help others if they’re having a rough time with their skin. After using this continuously, my face feels & looks healthy again. Yay :) Seriously this stuff is amazing.
