While the ingredients are clean and safe, some may have varying effects on different skin types, and results may differ from person to person. We recommend reviewing the full ingredient list before purchasing. Performing a small patch test prior to application is highly recommended for safety. Due to its highly effective formula, it is normal to experience a slight tingling sensation during use. If you have sensitive skin, be sure to perform a patch test before use, and don't forget to wear sunscreen during the day.
