BEST ECO-BEAUTY PRODUCT
I have rosacea and no matter what product for sensitive/reactive skin, I have tried, my cheeks always look flushed. The first time I used LUCA in the morning, a couple hours later when I looked in the mirror the redness in my cheeks was almost completely gone! I was absolutely amazed.
