My skin was ravaged by a rough summer of 100+ avg temps in lovely little hell on Earth, SoCal. I felt like tan mom at one point with my darkened skin tone and rough complexion. When my sister kindly pointed out my foundation was getting dangerously close to looking like white face, I had to do damage control. So, after much research, I went with Omiera since it consistently had the highest average review with the least amount of bad reactions and I didn't have to sell an organ to be able to afford it. So, with my kidneys in-tact, I put on the mask cream after my nightly routine (face wash>toner>moisturizer) without washing off, and much to my surprise, it worked as promised. After just two uses, I noticed my skin tone lightening, my skin was baby butt soft and my complexion was evening out. Such a good investment. I highly recommend Glocione by Omiera Labs.
