The booster is packed with soothing ingredients, it helps calm stressed skin while encouraging its natural healing processes.
The solution works best when combined with the Niacinamide found in our Hi-Function Foundation. Together they help strengthen your skin’s barrier to help fend off environmental stressors.

How to use
Use in the mornings but to get started you can even use it in the evening. However, our formula is very potent so when you notice your oil-production decreasing continue usage only in the morning.
Apply two drops or an amount that feels good. Your skin will know best. Use Oil-Balance Booster directly to your skin before or after moisturizer depending on what you prefer. You can even mix it up with foundation if you want a lighter coverage.
You may find the booster a little sticky in texture, its' because of our wonder algae, so adjust the amount you use to find out what’s best for you.

Jasmine

I'm back with my final review of the lemons oil balancing booster and I've been doing this for about a week at first the first two days of leave I used it morning and night and then I stopped because I did see a dramatic difference in my oil production this is probably the most game transforming products I've ever used I would say like seriously and actually I do like using after my moisturizer I said that was kind of sticky but I guess the tackiness like where is down a little bit like for me it's more comfortable to do it that way cuz I like putting my moisturizer on right after the other shower so I have no active right now on my cheeks and often I do because of math me and I feel like when I feel my forehead and nose that you said it was just out of oil slick before just I pretty full lot of oil in my face that's my skin but this has like so dramatically decreased I think I might even go to Every Other Day problem

I've been using this for the week this is the one life gives you lemons boil balance booster with Marine algae and Harlan acid for acne prone skin this is the pipe it has a pipe that frosted glass component and a wide-brim dispenser around Spencer whole but they're what I usually do is I will after I do my the rest of my skin care I will take this usually right here I'll just go in and press it into my skin or if I'm feeling lazy I'll just drop it directly on my skin not touch that to my skin though and it does have like quite a bit of slip to it it just feel like a little bit hydrating to it after you guys have Friday you guys will know what I mean but it is and it just melts in and it is $54 so I'm glad they dropped this and I'll see if I'll I'll tell you if I will repurchase it later

hello beautiful people I got a package from super great today so excited this is that when life gives you lemons boil balance booster for acne with Marine algae and hyaluronic acid is hyaluronic acid day so just came just on time says it's all about balance this boosting Serum with powerful Marine actives tones down Texas oil without trying you so you can get on with being you use sparingly a little goes a long way I'm going to open her up and let's see what the packaging looks like so here we had the packaging in this awesome matte glass bottle I'm a little worried because it was super cold out today but I think that it was meant to have this really you'd really like Justin C no smell no smell whatsoever and it just seems to sink right in the skin no smell so I'm really

hi Beauty so I redeemed the lemons when life gives you lemons booster oil or oil balance booster it is actually according to the box for acne-prone I don't have acne prone skin and it's meant to control or without overdrive in your face and also can be used as a primer so that was my main reason for redeeming it is to be used as a primer I did use it under my makeup today and I actually like it it's a little goes a long way but I think I used a little bit too much but I just wanted to test out the product to see how it works out and stuff my face feels so goodhyaluronic acid is also in this product and so far so good there's no complaints it's sticky so that it clings to the foundation and says the face beautifully.

Makeup and Skincare Lover 🤗.  

so how with me by when life gives you lemons this is the oil Valance booster and I really really love this one especially right now it's for me and I'm having some breakouts over here over here over here so it's perfect for my night routine so I recently learned you don't put it directly to your face you make some put some drops it's very sick you just put some drops in your hands and then put in your face cuz you don't want that to grab bacteria if you put it to your face so have no fragrance which I love that and just let it dry sink it in and wait for better results

Paola Chirinos

another product I got from when life gives you lemons look at the packaging will actually came on this little plastic bag and then I love the box I think it's super fun what does it say that's a lot of letters but I really can't understand what it says this is our balance booster this is great for our technique that has no fracture owns it will also help the texture are your skin to look at that color so pretty oh my God I left the bottle to trust someone is obviously it's French I don't know what what is that but yep definitely no fragrance but I can smell is very natural ingredients and is very wordy this is a term you use

hello beautiful people don't mind me right now I wanted to for the first time apply some of this when life gives you lemons boil balance Brewster this is for acne and is formulated with Marine algae and hyaluronic acid it's meant to be a serum primer hybrid got this awesome jelly consistency I took a little goes a long way I can't find part my face here wow it really did just smooth out my pores and especially with all this texture I have going on moved it right out and I can feel it matafied which is balancing that oil

so I just test it out this lemons oil balance booster for the first time and the dropper works pretty well it's a little thicker than I thought it was going to be but once you get the hang of dropping off one to two drops his side and then. Did cover my whole face they say they used sparingly a little goes a long way after so it was pretty easiest move it all over my face I did it all over because I am oily all over I don't have combination it's literally everywhere and they did say it's two key and you know what it isI'm not sure I would wear it alone just because the texture I don't I don't know if that would bug me but they I used moisturizer first and then this so maybe tomorrow I'll do like no make-up and then reverse it so that I do this first and then moisturizer and see if that

I didn't get a chance to redeem of Primal which is going to modify your oily skin you have to redeem it and that's what I did when life gives you lemons oil ballet shoes that was being trapped and this is for acne with Marine algae and hyaluronic acid when you getting that much hydration and flight mode why not redeem it such a beautiful pretty bottle and a Beyonce video about it and use it so it's kind of aand I think it's going to be very good to use it on my makeup and it's not going to make my makeup crack because even on the other primers I can see my makeup cracking around my mouth area and 90's on where it is always so let's use this

Puneet

Pittsburgh Raceway this is the oil balance booster from when life gives you lemons so I've never heard of this brand until I saw it on super great but it looks super nice I really like the packaging of the super heavy feels nice the glass on it looks really nice as well so for some questions I just used it this morning it is really sticky which to be fair they do say on their website it's a very very biscuits Jerome like saying you only need a tiny little bit and its lips all over your face on 64 Lee well so I thought I was a pretty good primer but I don't know if I like see the effect in terms of light preventing oil production right now but to be absolutely fair I did put on more of a glowy face today so I'm definitely going to you know like see how this works when I do more before facing foundation and modify things like today I don't have any foundation on just a little bit concealer so I don't see think I'm seeing it as well I'll definitely update as I use it more

hello gorgeous friend so I'm doing the challenge to show everything that you got for the 12 days of drop me I'm at that's why I was still super new to super great so I reading these to you and all my goodness it was so hard trying to choose which I never tried anything by accident so I was excited by this one and I really liked it I think the shades are really pretty and they blend really well and there's just a little bit of Fallout but I feel like the pigmentation is there Linda bility is there and overall I think this is definitely a great talent for the first White and then the balance booster and this is so stinking effective hokey smokes I'm down to using it like every 2 to 3 days and I have noticed definitely less oil production and so this was definitely a perfect one for my oily skin so thank you super great for the 12 days of drachmas

hi everyone I hope you guys are doing great and had wonderful holidays I'm going to talk about the lemon oil balance sister and I haven't this is my first time like ever even using it her anything it doesn't I think it has a style that it says a little goes a long way so we'll see Little Dot right okay wow a little bit. School Long Way feels nice very lightweight honestly feels like I'm not even using it

cleaning products the soil booster all over super great and now it's finally my chance to try it this product has Purina Allegheny in it as well as hyaluronic acid and it's also for those with acne skin or acne-prone skin and oily skin and I will just say like I have combo skin and it's usually pretty orally in the summertime so I'm going to get this hot here it is it's in a very sturdy glass bottle so I got some product here on my hand I'm not too crazy about the dropper it was really hard for me to get some productbut here I am putting on my skin it's very lightweight and texture it's a heavy at all very good to keep your skin hydrated I can't attest to the oil lead part to it if it's like to help control your oily this I'll have to check back with that but it feels really nice

Anita

espresso still talking about this oil balance booster from when life gives you lemons so it's something I didn't mention before is the fact that this is 26 ml which is actually a little bit smaller than the average serum which is at 30 ml however this is pretty expensive it's $54 which is more than I would personally of her papers here and I think there's a lot more affordable brand out there that would give you Thirty or even 50 ml is in a spray innisfree being one of my favorites so the only way that I would ever justify buying a $54 the serum that is really only for preventing oil and I guess give me a little bit of hydration from the Kyle erotic acid is if this really was able to modify my face which again I will update on whether or not it does but just off you know I just like seeing that press like oh boy not something that I would generally be willing to buy

okay so I am trying out the when life gives you lemons boil balance booster which is a serum / kind of like a primer when I get to them is all about using infusing skincare into makeup I would take the kids really cool that's like what their Foundation is all about and this is the step before that so it's really helpful for like skin looks like super cute little frosted glass bottle behind the scenes is that I did I just review 5 seconds ago but I was covering my mic but yes I really like this product I think it's like it has it's a gorgeous little tacky texture which is great if you're going to put makeup on top of it and it has like a thick consistency like goopy consistency but like can you tell the glow

Toronto the next test I use the 11th oil balancing booster as a primer so I did my charger first and then this and I feel like the stickiness you know I said I didn't really want to wear it alone cuz it was pretty sticky texture it did work well as a primer I just think I like the Smashbox better for for me just like for the poor situation and then also I feel like it kind of stuck on like the baby hairs but it's fine like it if you like sticky are primers then this is great because it's Sturm and primer in one so when and then next time I think I'm going to try this and then waste Riser and then maybe I'll also try thisand then like moisturizer and then primer and see if Larry not much on work or not so much

hey everybody I'm here with the when life gives you when life gives you lemon oil balance booster for acne with Marine algae and hyaluronic acid so this is a fragrance free product which I'm super super excited about and I am going to do just a live demo cuz I have no product on my face I use my Evo moisturizer this morning it's been a couple hours so I'm just going to play this audio balance booster on my chin and a little bit on my forehead and around my nose just cuz those are my main areas that I have problem with oil and acneso I just I'm finishing up rubbing it into the skin it is kind of a thick texture I want to show you guys but I'm really excited to see like what the results end up looking like and I hope you guys do

Ebony
