What skin concerns were you hoping to treat with SkinVive?
I was hoping to treat fine lines around my mouth and large pores. I also wanted to improve my skin’s texture and achieve overall better looking skin. I had a small amount of acne scarring from when I was a teenager that I was hoping this would help. (Spoiler, it did!)
