My skin is dehydrated from acne products. I got rid of my hormonal acne but my skin barrier is compromised. I tried this after my regular moisturizer. The directions say to apply this particular serum after moisturizer so I followed the directions. The serum felt great at first so I was hopeful. There was no irritation or burning. It spread easily. However, the flakes on my skin got larger and looked like dandruff on my skin. It was gross. My skin was flaky before but not like this. This was the first product I used from this product line. I only try one new product at a time so if I have a reaction, I know what the culprit is. My skin is so sensitive that I need to try new products one at a time and wait awhile because I react to so many ingredients. I wish this had worked for me because of the aloe.
