For the price of this item, I was expecting so much. I'm really self-conscious about my facial thread veins and was really hoping that might improve the appearance of them, or strengthen my skin. This product, however, disappointed me. It made my nose look so red in its crevices, more than usual, it looked like I spent all day blowing my nose. As soon as I stopped using this product the redness stopped immediately. I wouldn't recommend this product.
