"It removes dead skin, and after that, you'll be fine and glowing."

"The only good thing from Gentle Magic is the serum; leave everything else."

Mandisa nkosi shared:

"Me right now I look like I have vitiligo."

Miss M commented:

"Where did you guys buy those Gentle Magic?? I use it and my skin is normal I am not light skin."

Tsunami replied:

"The toner is a bit harsh on the skin, especially if you have sensitive skin. You can dilute the toner with water and only use it at night and or use it 3 times a week, combine that with the serum and soap. Don't forget a good sunscreen during the day, hope this helps."
