Love that you can use this as a skincare at night and base under makeup during day time. The only problem I have with this is that the cream may tend to get clumpy so you must really blend it well especially if used under makeup. AHA Soap - I only use this as a body soap to help even out the skin. Love that 1/2 bar really lasted me long, for about 3-4 weeks of every use. The soap doesn't melt easily which I like although you really need to scrub it a lot of times to be able to use. Just a little drying on the skin. AHA Serum - TOTALLY LOVE how it helps to easily lighten the skin. You can use this alone or as an add on to your product. I prefer to use this with my current lotion and love how MORE moisturizing it feels on the skin (even when used alone).

My Thoughts: TOTALLY LOVE THIS CANDY LIP JELLY! As you all know, I've been using Petroleum Jelly for the past (maybe 10 years?! haha) and I can't live without it. Usually, in the morning, my skin is so smooth, soft and has no lines, thanks to my lip balm therapy for years (started when I was 11 years old). Currently, my lips feels really dry due to my anti acne pill and used this candy jelly as an alternative to my petroleum jelly. Love the SWEET scent of each jelly and how smooth it is on the lips! My lips feels so hydrated and I can't stop using it! The consistency is similar to the petroleum jelly but BETTER because of the flavor and scent! I love both the Strawberry and Melon flavor! Already finished my first tub (Melon) and now using the Strawberry one! Must buy!
