This stuff is a bit pricey but if you're determined to get a nice glow - go for it! After using it for only a week or so (every night) I found a big difference. It has definitely brightened my skin. I first cleanse, use toner then essence and then the cellumination aurabright followed by eye cream and face cream. (give each step some time to sink in). If you can spend a little extra money for that glow - go for it.
