Love this! I have been using it for quite some time but waited to leave a review until the packaging was empty because my skin tends to trick me a bit, so things I initially think I can tolerate, I actually can’t after a while, and vice versa. You should leave the strip on with the flat side against the skin for 3-5 minutes (I do 5-8 minutes…) and after that, take the scaly part and massage over the nose (and/or forehead and chin). I also usually apply the serum on my neck and massage with my Silk’n Silicone Facial Cleansing Brush on the pulsating setting—talk about lymphatic massage! Absolutely wonderful combo, in my opinion! 🙌🏼 When the massage is done, I rinse everything off and use a bamboo pad to really get rid of everything (after all, it’s AHA acid) and hey presto! My skin becomes so smooth and gets an insane glow. And I’m not even exaggerating a bit! I should maybe add that I have rosacea and generally very sensitive skin. I do, however, pat in Klairs Supple Preparation Unscented Toner quite quickly so the skin doesn’t have a chance to get dry 😉 Then I pat in Ole Henriksen’s Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer. Besides visibly smaller pores, my redness decreases and calms down, which I didn’t expect when I tried it—acids, as I said. Highly recommend!

How often can this be used?

Perfect combo of different scents and properties, have one on the desk, one in the bag, and one at home
