Marlène S –
Fast delivery the day after I ordered it to Rosemont. I have been using this oil for 3 weeks and the results are really remarkable, especially on dark spots and skin tone. My friends and family have noticed the change on my face. I highly recommend this oil. I still have a good amount but I will definitely use it again. Thanks to you!
