Vivienne

Confident with better skin

My skin condition used to be really bad. I saw improvements in my skin when I started using skin care, but I decided to try Borage Seed Oil and saw that my skin condition became even better within a month. I've been using it continuously for three years now. Besides improving my skin complexion, it also relieved discomfort during my monthly cycle. Now, I feel more confident with better skin.
