I am OBSESSED with this brand and its founder, Kerry! She gifted this to me with an order I made. After using the two first gifted products, I bought the entirety of her product line (made me eligible for free shipping, which we all love). The Carrot and Seaberry Oil Serum texture is light and luxurious. Applied at night, you wake up with smooth, firm, and radiant skin. It absorbs beautifully and absolutely, no clogged pores, I have used this almost every night for the last 2 months and I can see the difference when I don’t use it for a while! As expected, I was enchanted by how effective it was in fulfilling its “promise”. I know that Kerry only uses good quality ingredients*, which means I trust her formulations.
