I no longer use foundation and my skin is looking better than ever!
- CCarolineVerified Buyer3 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsAmazing serum!
I’ve been using this for over a month and I love it. My skin feels smoother, I haven’t gotten a breakout (and it’s the middle of summer) and I’m able to keep up the hydration when I’m not very hydrated in real life. Will definitely buy myself a refill!

Since incorporating Elixir No. 1 into my daily skincare routine, I've noticed a visible improvement in my skin. I recently spent two weeks in the dry Colorado mountains, where my skin would normally become very dry. This time, it stayed hydrated throughout the trip. I couldn't be happier with the results and look forward to continuing to use Elixir No. 1.

When I get a facial now, they don't even try to sell me products. They tell me my skin looks so great and to just keep using Holy Grail.
