Buffet.  I have bought this baby four times. I'm polyamorous with skincare, especially serums, but this is so good, and it layers with whatever else I'm using, there's just no reason not to use it.  

Their moisturizer (NMF) is really good for what it is.  And their niacinamide serum and retinols / retinoids are awesome, I'm glad that I don't have to pay $100 just to know I'm getting effective active ingredients.  

Lesser known pick? Azelaic acid. It's not a perfect product. It comes in a silicone-y formula, making it kind of hard to layer.  Plus, bc of its properties, you can't just mix it with whatever. I mean that' true for most active ingredients.  But anyway.  This stuff.. I have read that it is anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-bacterial and decreases keratin production. Which means - >  less topical redness and swelling, less acne, less white heads and blackheads (keratin), less hyperpigmentation. I'm getting into my mid-30s and I never really got the "hyperpigmentation" thing before.  I still think we could all obsess over little spots on our skin a lot less, but this little cream sure does a great job of evening things out. More than vitamin c or hydroquinone ever did.  I threw this in my cart once bc I needed to hit the shipping minimum from deciem, and I've been preaching about it ever since.  Not many people that wouldn't benefit from this!

I love their primer, salicylic acid serum (for acne), and niacinamide serum (for acne). The primer actually works great despite the very low price!!!
