Not recommended for sensitive skin

"This product broke my forehead out in a rash. This was the first time buying this product. I have been using the facial and body oils for a year with no problem. Not good for sensitive skin."

Bad fragrance!

"Hard for me to get past the smell it really is awful"

— Sherri F. (3/5)

Sensitive skin

"This was too harsh for my skin which is the dry and sensitive type. It burned almost immediately and left red spots that took a couple days to go away. I've used lactic acid in the past without a problem so am unsure why this occurred. Packaging is very nice, and the product itself was a nice consistency. I wish this would have worked for me."

— Karen S. (3/5)

Phenomenal Serum

"This is one of the best serums I have used on my aging skin. I'm prone to breakouts, but my skin as been clear and supple since using this serum"

— Pamela D. (5/5)

It works!

"I have created a routine and added FLOWER Acid Algae Serum, and I can see with each day a brightening of the dark spots caused by years of sun damage. Very impressed."

— Raphaela J. (5/5)

Biossance is better for aging skin

"I think the product seems fine for younger women, but this does not compare to Biossance lactic acid. I wanted to try this brand after reading such great reviews, but I have not seen or felt the results other reviews indicated."

— Jennifer Q. (3/5)
