"The product itself is great, but I’m very upset that it is discontinued because it has taken me 20 years to find products that work for my face and this was one of them and now I feel stranded without knowing what kind of product to replace it with."
"Hello. I have rosacea and very sensitive skin (for decades). I have been using this product ultra calming serum concentrate for years and it truly is the ONLY thing I can use on my face and around my eyes. The only thing. I know it's been popular and a standard for many women. Your alternative products including the Dynamic Skin Strengthening Serum are not anything close to it and cause skin reaction, hence it's not in the ultra-calming collection. Please bring it back."
"I absolutely love this stuff. It has made my skin so much better. I switched to this brand because my face was easily irritated after a medication change and I can’t say enough good things about it. It calmed down the redness and reduced oiliness while making my face hydrated and happy!"
"It has a clean and smooth feeling on your skin and doesn't irritate it at all. It has not made my face feel like it was burning or hot. I usually use it after the pre-cleanse and the ultra calming cleanser, before I moisturize, and its essence adds an extra layer of hydration. It has a light texture, but does take a few minutes to absorb into your skin. There is no smell, which I prefer. Overall, I am very satisfied with this entire line of products and highly recommend for anyone with rosacea or redness issues."
"Been using for 2 weeks now on my very irritated 2nd trimeester skin. Havent really noticed any difference yet, but will keep using to see if it calms my red, inflamed cheeks. It does feel nice when putting it on, and is not greasy or oily at all. Absorbs nicely for layering with other products."
"Calms my redness on my cheeks. Feels like nothing on your skin."
"I can’t believe this has been discontinued! It is one of two products in the world that actually work on my skin…I am so upset! Please bring it back!"
"I love this serum it really does help calm down redness. I noticed almost immediately. After a long morning I used this after washing my face and my face felt less red and almost had a tightness to it. Love this!!! Need it back in stock pleaseee"
"I've been using this for about 2 weeks and starting to see my skin clear up slowly. Skin feels soft and smooth and redness is going away."
"The best sensitive serum on the market!"
