How we score →Yay
9 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
The spicules create channels that deliver hydrating and plumping ingredients noticeably deeper, leaving skin bouncy and smooth by morning, but the prickling sensation divides testers sharply. Most gurus praise the results and suggest patting rather than rubbing to ease the sensation, using it at night, or layering with a soothing sheet mask; a few find the irritation outweighs the benefit, especially those with sensitive skin. Best patch-tested first if you tend toward irritation.

“I haven't used it that long to be able to see a difference in terms of [...] fine lines, but [...] if you were to be consistent and maybe go through two bottles of this you might start to see a difference in terms of those lines starting to soften.”

“Maybe, you know, all of those amino acids really do help to hydrate and plump the skin, they can help with the protein structure of skin so with long-term use you may feel that your skin feels a little bit more firm or lifted.”
