The Holy Grail of Skincare!!! My most favourite product ever! Please never stop making [Aurora] 😭It is my holy grail of skin care,. It is the only thing that has worked for my acne prone skin. Ever. It has been a life saver. It is something I will always order.

Deliciousness! I’m a DIY kind of person, and make a lot of my own whipped up concoctions which I am perfectly pleased with. That said, this balm [Aurora]…. from the moment I opened the jar I was in love. The scent is deliciously decadent and the texture otherworldly. I know that’s not a fair scientific or practical description but this balm is worth it. I will both treasure it and use it up because it’s wonderful and makes me happy. I will order this again and gift these to my family and friends.
